It takes many successful projects to build a good reputation but decades of them to build a great one. For more than three generations, the Akins name has been synonymous with elite homebuilding. Our portfolio of flawless results goes beyond “award-winning” to a pedestal of storied achievements in homebuilding and finishing for an extremely discerning network of word-of-mouth clientele.
To partner with Akins Homes to design and build your home is to be guided by unparalleled expertise – trusted advisors, anticipatory managers, steady and clear communicators, and perfectionists in craftsmanship.
Imagine an advocate, navigating the complexities of homebuilding for you with the same care and sense of ownership as you and your family. The aim is to surpass your vision in bringing the dream to reality. It’s a culture that requires precision, total transparency, and complete dedication to our well-honed Akins Process.
Like many trade secrets, it isn’t the steps involved as much as the way those steps are performed. The Akins Process is more than a code; it’s a guarantee. The steps between design and move-in will be completed with the same care that has defined the Akins legacy.
President and CEO, Carl Akins, has earned an elite reputation as a passionate “Builder’s Builder” in Orange County. Founded in 1973, Akins Homes was built on the principles of integrity and precision that were handed down to Carl from his father, Ed Akins. Carl’s transparency, creativity, planning and problem solving capabilities are the cornerstones of not only his career, but also of the finest homes of some of the most influential families in Southern California. In 1998 Carl’s expertise was honored with the Southern California Building Industry Association Lifetime Achievement Award.
Partnering in 2008, Jay Akins has managed numerous high-end ground up and remodel projects. Jay is committed to maintaining the Akins family legacy of excellence. Honoring the unique heritage passed from grandfather to father and from father to son is not just an Akins family tradition; it is Jay’s mission statement.
