By Tim O’Connor
Having spent the early part of his career in the fast-growing Aspen, Colo., and Hamptons, N.Y., markets, Craig Bass knew what it took to build a successful high-end custom home: detailed oversight. It’s an approach he’s brought to the Atlanta market through Avalon Custom Homes.
Avalon’s commitment to continuous on-site supervision is one of its primary differentiators from other builders in the Atlanta market. “Hands down, it’s our amount of on-site supervision and attention to all of the details,” Bass says.

3rd Street Custom Homes prides itself on including innovative details that make its homes more livable for every inhabitant.
By Tim O’Connor
When designing a new home, Jeff Stegich, the owner of 3rd Street Custom Homes, likes to include small touches that few other builders would ever think of including. Stegich believes that simple elements such as a dedicated circuit for connected nightlights can make a huge quality-of-life difference to the people living inside.
“What I do in my homes has struck a chord with the general public,” Stegich says. “I took my and my wife’s experiences raising children and put that into the homes.” The nightlight circuit, for example, allows children to have a lit path at night run by an automatic timer. It improves safety and is less disruptive to mom and dad’s precious sleep.

By Bianca Herron
The Rinaldi Group (TRG) is a full-service general contractor and construction management firm based in Secaucus, N.J., with satellite offices in New York City and Miami Beach, Fla. CEO Anthony Rinaldi started the company in 2003 after leaving Crain Construction, where he served as vice president, and later president, during an eight-year tenure dating back to 1996.
Rinaldi notes that although he left due to “irreconcilable differences” with the owner, he enjoyed playing a key role in helping Crain maintain business in excess of $100 million at the time.
Fifteen years later, TRG has earned a reputation for performance and execution. The company has more than 100 employees and focuses primarily on high-rise commercial hotels, and residential and office buildings in the private industry sectors. With more than $600 million worth of projects in its pipeline, TRG has come a long way from its early days of constructing sidewalks and curbs.
“I literally had to start all over again with nothing after Crain,” Rinaldi explains. “We have worked our way up from curbs to building 40-plus-story buildings throughout New York City. It’s been a long road and we’re very proud of our company.”
