Modern Home Builder: Smarter Homes

Sherwin Loudermilk founded Loudermilk Homes in 2009 with one goal in mind: to improve the experience and process of luxury homebuilding. The Atlanta-based company has since found success by tapping into Loudermilk’s background in computer science.

As an executive at IBM earlier in his career, Loudermilk worked with telecommunications and web development companies on cutting-edge products and support services. That experience not only continues to differentiate Loudermilk Homes from its competitors, but also has allowed it to take homebuilding to the next level by integrating some of the most advanced smart home technology into the multi-million-dollar homes it builds today.

Process to Perfection

Loudermilk Homes gives its clients complete transparency with a software program called Loudermilk Connect, which can also be accessed 24/7 via the mobile app. The program allows the company to walk through the building process with clients and stores all of their selection information for items such as appliances, paint colors, tile, and lighting. Clients can also make changes in the system and have access to an array of details and price points that allows them to make more informed decisions.

“Our controllers, procurement managers, designers and superintendents all input information into Loudermilk Connect so the client can see everything in real time,” says Loudermilk, president and CEO. “This includes schedules, work in progress, inspection status, daily logs, and our plans for correcting any problems and catching up if there are delays.”
