The Cullen Construction Luxury Home Building Experience

Where Story, Craft, and Legacy Meet in Every Home

Every custom home begins long before the first piece of earth is moved. It begins with a feeling—the quiet certainty that your next home should be more than walls and windows. It should be a place that holds your family’s laughter, your rituals, your celebrations, and the life you imagine growing into.

At Cullen Construction, we believe building a home is one of life’s rare opportunities: a chance to shape your lifestyle into form, to create a space that reflects who you are and what you value most. As a luxury home builder in Pennsylvania, our role is to make that experience as thoughtful, elegant, and grounded as the home itself.

For more than seventy years, three generations of Cullens have built not only homes, but trust—offering craftsmanship shaped by legacy and service shaped by heart.

A Legacy Rooted in Craftsmanship

The story began in 1953, when Edward E. Cullen built his first home with a philosophy that would become the company’s compass:

Build well. Build honestly. Build relationships that last.

What started as a family trade evolved into a multi-generational craft. Today, under Woody Cullen’s leadership, that philosophy remains the thread running through every conversation, every foundation, and every finishing detail.

Clients don’t just remember the homes we build—they remember how they felt while building them.

This is the heart of Cullen Construction: a legacy shaped by craftsmanship, and a craftsmanship shaped by people.

A Process Designed to Honor Your Story

Luxury is not a finish level, or a price point, or a list of features.Luxury is the feeling that every step has been considered.

Our process was built around that idea—that a custom home should unfold like a story: clear in its pacing, supported by a team who anticipates your needs, and guided by a builder who understands that the experience matters just as much as the final reveal.

Below is the Cullen journey, rewritten as it truly feels.

01. Discovery & Visioning—Where Your Story Begins

Every partnership begins the same way: with a conversation, not a blueprint. We listen—not simply to what you want, but to the life you dream of living inside your home.

Do you picture slow mornings with natural light pouring into the kitchen? A home filled with gatherings? A retreat tucked quietly into the landscape?

This is where your story takes shape, where words become vision, and where we begin to understand the legacy you’re building.

02. Understanding Your Project—Reading the Land

When we step onto your property, we don’t just see open space. We see possibilities.

A gentle slope that could frame a breathtaking entryway. A cluster of trees that wants to cradle the home in privacy. The afternoon light that paints the perfect dining room glow.

As experienced custom home builders, we treat the land as the first collaborator in your project. Its characteristics guide the design long before pen meets paper.

03. Partnership on Your Project—Crafting the Vision Together

Elegant homes are born from aligned partnerships. We work closely with your architect and designer—or introduce you to trusted partners who feel like the right creative fit. Together, we build a design team that carries your vision as faithfully as you do.

This collaboration is what keeps your dream intact. It ensures that beauty, engineering, budget, craftsmanship, and timeline all move together, with no hidden turns or detours.

04. Pricing Your Project—The Art of Transparent Planning

Behind the scenes, our team gathers input from vetted artisans, subcontractors, and trade partners. Every estimate, every allowance, every assumption is studied and clarified.

The result: a proposal that reads like a well-mapped story—clear, honest, comprehensible. You should always know what to expect, long before construction begins.

05. Project Agreement—Alignment Before the Build

Before we break ground, we meet to walk through every detail of the proposal. Not rushed. Not glossed over.

This is the moment where plans settle into place—where you feel confident not only in the design, but in the team carrying it forward. We refine, adjust, and confirm until everything reflects the home you’ve imagined.

06. Building & Beyond—Craftsmanship Without Compromise

Then the story shifts from planning to creation.

Our project managers become the stewards of your vision—orchestrating each trade, reviewing every detail, and ensuring your home is built with the precision Cullen is known for.

We communicate openly, proactively, and consistently so that you feel informed and cared for at every step.

When your home is complete, the experience doesn’t end. Cullen Construction stays connected long after move-in day—supporting maintenance, future additions, and the evolving needs of your home.

Because a Cullen-built home isn’t just delivered. It is stewarded.

A Billing Process Rooted in Trust

Financial clarity is part of our craftsmanship. Unlike many builders, our billing structure is intentionally designed to give you peace of mind.

Clear Proposals

Everything is outlined: scope, materials, allowances, costs.

Monthly Progress Billing

You pay only for work that is completed—never assumptions, never estimates.

Transparent Change Orders

If you choose to adjust something, you receive pricing before any work happens. Always written. Always clear.

Proactive Financial Stewardship

We watch the numbers as closely as we watch the details—protecting your vision and your investment.

This is the luxury of certainty.
