We serve the building, construction and renovation needs of the Lowcountry.

 
 

The Team at Level Building Projects has a combined 30 years of construction experience that translate to a thorough understanding of building and renovating, from the first steps with an architect, through the final building inspections. 

We are general contractors who pride ourselves on keeping client relationships strong with our commitment to constant communication. Answering the phone and returning messages is a top priority. 

Many clients can be overwhelmed when researching and progressing through building and renovation projects. Level Building Projects guides clients through the many decisions, and demands good work from ourselves and our partners along the way so you can rest easy.

 

Level Building Projects was established in 2009, but our experience goes back much further...

Harrison Sedelbauer

PROJECT MANAGER

 

Harrison was raised in Asheville, North Carolina, where his love for the outdoors took root. After high school, he attended the University of Colorado, where he studied Environmental Science. It was during his time in Colorado that his passion for nature and the environment deepened. In 2019, Harrison and his wife, Jessica, completed the Appalachian Trail together. The experience not only strengthened their bond but also solidified his desire to pursue a hands-on career in construction.

After completing the trail, Harrison moved to Charleston, SC, where he pursued a degree in Construction Management at Trident Technical College. Combining his field experience with formal education, he developed a passion for turning designs into tangible homes.

Jake Calle

SITE SUPERINTENDENT

 

Jake became a member of the Level Building Projects team in early 2024, bringing with him a growing skill set honed over several years in both the construction and business sectors. Originally from Connecticut, Jake moved to the Lowcountry in 2018, drawn by the area's charm and thriving professional opportunities. His journey into the world of construction management began shortly after his move, as he pursued higher education at the College of Charleston, where he earned a bachelor's degree in international business. He took his commitment to the construction field a step further and received his certification in construction management at Louisiana State University shortly after.

Over the years, Jake has steadily worked to broaden his skill set, gaining hands-on experience in various aspects of construction, from property management and maintenance to doing small residential projects throughout the Charleston area himself. This exposure has equipped him with a taste of the industry's complexities, as well as an ongoing understanding of the career going forward as he develops.

Jake now lives with his fiancé Mary Kate on Daniel Island.
