What building details does

Building Details is a luxury residential design and construction firm headquartered at 103 Montauk Highway in East Hampton, New York. Founded by Michael Derrig in 2018 as an extension of his landscape architecture practice Landscape Details (founded 2001), the firm designs, builds, and renovates high-end custom homes for high-net-worth homeowners in the Hamptons. Core capabilities center on bespoke cabinetry, interior and exterior joinery, and an architecturally distinctive approach that blends traditional Hamptons vernacular with modern execution and landscape integration. The portfolio includes named signature projects such as Maidstone Lane, Village Barn, Hook Pond, Mill Hill, Sag Harbor Turnpike, Galerie Showhouse, Stratton Square, Two Holes of Water, Village Retreat, East Hollow, East Hampton Cottage, Wireless Cottage, and EH Village Bungalow, plus the Landscape Details Office and in-progress builds at Lumber Lane Bridgehampton and East Hampton Village.

The business operates a project-based revenue model on the construction side, with quote-based, project-specific pricing that is not publicly disclosed. A second, recurring revenue stream comes from Property Details, a wholly owned division offering annual and monthly maintenance plans that include inspections, contractor management, preventative maintenance, and 24-hour emergency services for homes and HOA needs. The integrated group structure — Landscape Details (parent), Building Details (construction), and Property Details (maintenance) — supports a multi-decade client relationship spanning design through ongoing property care.

Go-to-market is direct and relationship-driven: the firm works with high-net-worth homeowners and maintains referral partnerships with leading architects and designers in the New York area. Marketing channels are limited to a professional portfolio website, an Instagram presence, and earned media in design publications including The Purist, Luxe Magazine, House Beautiful, Coastal Living, and James Lane Post. The leadership team is small and founder-centric — Founder Michael Derrig (landscape architecture, Rutgers), Vice President Bryan Von Hagn (financial and real estate background, Planning Board Chairman in North Haven Village), and team member Charles Kulesa (three decades of Long Island/NYC construction experience, previously COO on Brooklyn Bridge Park and WTC 9/11 Memorial landscaping).
