Breaking Ground

Advanced Building Concepts, Inc. has built custom homes in Gainesville and North Central Florida since 1997. Founded by Robert and Susan Butts, Advanced Building Concepts was built on a foundation of faith, family, and sense of community.

A local, family-owned business, we are dedicated to delivering exceptional quality and unparalleled customer service. Every home we craft is as unique as its owner.

Customer Satisfaction

Advanced Building Concepts puts their clients’ priorities first, making certain clients are engaged, and completely satisfied, through every stage of design and construction. In this regard, Advanced works with a team of licensed architects and interior designers to facilitate the design and décor for their clients’ homes.

Advanced and their team of professionals guide clients to become familiar with the steps involved in the design, planning, and construction of their new home. Advanced Building Concepts believes an excellent builder/client relationship is the key to a successful project, and that informed clients are more comfortable making the important decisions which will make their home truly unique.

What Our Clients Are Saying

Professional and thorough, detail-oriented yet aware of the big picture, patient and kind, Bob was the ideal builder in our view.

Mike was fantastic in communicating with us and updating timelines as well as costs. His patience and sense of humor helped diminish the stress of building. Mike didn't just oversee the work, he was extremely knowledgeable and hands-on when needed.

Communication throughout the process was excellent, and they were always quick to answer any questions we had. Simply put, it was by far the best home building experience we have ever had!

Family Business

In 2013 Robert and Susan welcomed son-in-law Michael McDonald to the family business. Mike serves as Vice President and manages business and construction operations.

Mike earned a Bachelor of Science in Building Construction Management from the University of North Florida and is an experienced project manager in both large commercial projects and luxury custom homes. Together, Susan, Robert, and Mike offer over 50 years combined experience building one-of-a-kind custom homes.
