2006

We serve our community in Sussex County with a commitment to excellent craftsmanship and personalized service.

Our Story

Our mission is to serve and impact our community, clients, and team by building premium custom homes.

In 2006, we started Savini Construction to do things differently. While working for a large home builder, owner Anthony Savini grew increasingly frustrated with corporate limitations and wanted to build a business that was centered around relationships.

He was excited at the prospect of being able to sit down and have honest and real conversations with clients where they could meet the people working on their home and know who to talk to if they had a question or concern.

For many, your home is your greatest investment, and we want everyone—from clients and contractors to vendors, community members, and anyone in between—to enjoy working with us.

Owner

Anthony Savini

Anthony was born and raised in Milton, Delaware, and has been in the trade since his first job at age 15, framing for a local custom home builder. Carpentry was in his sites for many years before, as he lent a hand around the house, gaining priceless knowledge from his father. Anthony completed four years at Sussex Technical High School in the Carpentry and Cabinet Making program, highlighted by receiving an award for the 5th best high school cabinet maker in the country in 1999, 1st in Delaware.

He continued his education at one of the top trade colleges in the nation, Williamson College of the Trades in Media, Pennsylvania. During those years, Anthony gained specialization in mechanical trades, blueprinting, design, management, and broadened his knowledge with commercial experience. After college, he continued his love for residential building and worked as a Production Site Manager for a large home builder, managing the construction of over 250 homes in Sussex County, Delaware.

Now as Savini Construction, Anthony is excited to be in the position to build strong relationships with each valued customer while providing the best quality and creating the best experience.

LEAD CARPENTER / SITE SUPERVISOR

Jacob Fowler

Jacob has been a part of the Savini team in some capacity since 2017. Before then, he spent six years as an apprentice carpenter in residential construction, worked as a carpenter for a local home builder, and was promoted to Project Manager while with that company.

He joined the Savini team because he found the culture and company values to be closely aligned with his own. As Lead Carpenter and Site Supervisor, there isn't a job that Jacob isn't involved in. You may see him in the beginning phases of a home construction laying out a foundation or helping put the final touches on a home before turning it over to a client. 

Jacob moved to the Sussex County area during his high school years and now lives on a small working farm outside of Milton with his wife and two children.
