About Precision
A Family-Owned Builder With Deep Roots in Dawson County
At Precision Custom Home Builders, we don't build subdivisions — we build your home. Every floor plan, every material selection, and every finish detail is designed around your family, your property, and the way you want to live. In Dawson County, that means designing for the mountain terrain, wooded ridges, and panoramic views that make this area one of the most beautiful in North Georgia.
Founded in 2005 by Dan Ellsworth, Precision has completed over 250 custom homes across North Georgia. Dawson County's mountain topography, watershed regulations, and unique building challenges require a builder with genuine local expertise — and we've been navigating them for years. We know the permitting process, the soil conditions, and the best ways to orient a home to capture Dawson County's stunning long-range views. Read what our clients have to say.
Whether you're building a mountain retreat near Amicalola Falls, a lakeside home on the shores of Lake Lanier, or a family residence in Dawsonville, we bring the same commitment: transparent communication, skilled craftsmanship, and a finished home that exceeds your expectations.

Most custom homes in Dawson County take 12–14 months to complete, depending on size, design complexity, and site conditions. Mountain and hillside sites common in Dawson County may require additional foundation work, but we pride ourselves on delivering homes on time while maintaining the highest quality standards.

Yes. If you haven't purchased land yet, we evaluate properties you're considering and connect you with a local real estate agent who specializes in buildable lots throughout Dawson County — including Dawsonville, Silver City, Amicalola, Juno, and Landrum.
