Meet the Builder

​

I am Uriah Dortch: a builder, entrepreneur, president on a local board, and father to four. Being born and raised in North Carolina, I have deep roots here. My family's involvement in construction and rental property sparked my passion from an early age. I have fond memories of renovating houses with my mom in middle school and operating heavy machinery under careful supervision at just 12 years old.

Professional Experience

​​

My professional journey started in 2013 with American Homes 4 Rent (AMH), shortly after its inception. At AMH, I gained invaluable experience buying and renovating hundreds of houses monthly, collaborating closely with subcontractors to meet our high standards before properties were released to management. Over three years in the Raleigh market, our acquisitions team successfully transformed over 3,000 houses, contributing to the company's growth to a publicly traded entity. This experience honed my skills in building and managing subcontractors and taught me the nuances of property underwriting, ensuring sound investments for the company.

​

Founding Hoeken Design Build

​

Over a decade ago, we founded what is now Hoeken Design Build. Through our journey of renovating and building over 200 homes, we've tackled numerous challenges, built lasting relationships and forged a resilient team that excels in construction project management. I believe in the importance of problem-solving—how we handle challenges defines our team's strength.

Our Commitment to North Carolina

We're proud of our team's achievements and confident in our ability to execute any home build project a client may bring to us.
