Built America Magazine | South
DEAR READER FROM OUR EDITOR
This special edition of Built America Magazine honors the South’s most impactful builders, visionaries, and changemakers—those laying new foundations of excellence while carrying forward the traditions that built this industry. From emerging talents carving their first footprints in the field to long-standing leaders whose legacies span generations, this issue celebrates the heartbeat of Southern construction: integrity, innovation, and impact.
“ We commit to fully inclusive journeying with our collaborators, ensuring their stories are shared with integrity and passion. ” From Florida to Georgia, Texas and beyond, this edition brings together the South’s finest builders, each one a testament to what endures when craftsmanship meets character. This is more than an issue, it’s a tribute to the men and women who build America from the ground up, one act of integrity at a time.
Inside, you’ll find an emotional and inspiring mix of stories that define what it means to build with purpose .
From Bergman Build LLC , where Peter Livermore shares his journey of resilience, craftsmanship, and redefining what it means to build with intention—proving that innovation and heart can coexist on every job site. You’ll meet Grayham Stowe of Weston Homes , whose faith-driven approach to homebuilding has shaped communities across Texas with honesty, precision, and grace. And through a deeply moving conversation with Annamae Kacsandi, we explore how HomeAid Orlando and its partners are building more than homes—they’re rebuilding hope. These pages are filled with leaders who remind us that legacy isn’t measured in profit margins or project size. It’s measured in the lives touched, the communities strengthened, and the values built into every beam and brick.
Warm regards, The Editorial Team
