History

Scott Barnes Development and Construction not only provides services in Residential and Commercial Construction, but also offers Residential Development Services and Construction Consulting.

Born and raised in Montgomery, Alabama, Scott Barnes earned his Building Science Degree from Auburn University.  Upon graduating, Scott spent the next 12 years in the commercial construction industry in Memphis, Tennessee.  At this Tennessee construction company, Scott participated in the startup, daily operations and business development within the company, eventually becoming Vice President.  Scott also spearheaded the company’s opening of satellite offices in Nashville and Rosemary Beach.  In 2004, Scott relocated his family to the 30A area to operate the Rosemary Beach office.   While in Rosemary, Scott oversaw construction of the Private Residence Club, The Town Center Building, Redfish Village in Blue Mountain Beach and several other high-end multifamily developments along 30A.

Upon completion of those projects and with a desire to stay in the area, Scott accepted the incredible opportunity to work for Alys Beach where he spent seven years as Vice President of Residential Construction.  Scott and his team were responsible for many of the incredible homes and community structures in Alys Beach today.

After designing and developing many multi-million dollar homes in Alys Beach, Scott felt he had truly honed his craft as a developer, and decided it was time for him to start his own company, Scott Barnes Development and Construction.

“I truly wanted to concentrate on fewer projects and have more control over the construction process, making it even more personal than it already was. The relationships I have with my architect and my clients are very important to me. Taking on fewer projects allows me to manage the details from start to finish personally, and to guarantee the level of quality that I am selling.  My clients value knowing I will be on their job-site every day, scrutinizing the details. Every little part of building a home from start to finish impacts the end product.   In essence, having control of that process enables me to use my homes as business cards and truly represent who I am.”

Today, Scott Barnes Development and Construction is considered the premier luxury development company along the Florida Gulf Coast with developments underway throughout the Southeast.
