About Ken Berry
With both of my parents being licensed builders, my roots run deep in residential construction.
Clemson, South Carolina is home to my family which includes my wonderful wife Durema, and our four small children. We love this area and are proud to be raising our family here. I am a proud graduate of Clemson University where I earned a degree in Civil Engineering. My early career began as a professional engineer working mostly in the large-scale commercial construction business, on complex projects such as hospitals, historic renovations, research laboratories, and educational facilities. Many of the projects I have managed can be found around the campus of Clemson University. While my early career consisted of mainly commercial work, my first love is custom residential. I take great pride in performing high-quality work and bringing the visions of the client and architects to reality.
