Defining Craftsmanship Since 1980
Owned and operated by the Purnell family, Oak Construction specializes in designing and building custom homes on site. For more than 45 years, we've set the standard, then raised the bar in home building and customer care. We continue to build homes to the highest levels and to the best of our ability; the only thing that exceeds the quality of the houses we build is the level of satisfaction our customers have. You might even say it's built into everything we do.
Design & Build
Design-Build is a common yet often overlooked project delivery method in which a single firm is responsible for the entirety of your project, from the conceptual design through completion of construction. Design-build streamlines project delivery through a single contract between the owner and the design build team. This simple but fundamental difference saves money and time by transforming the relationship between designers and builders into an alliance which fosters collaboration and teamwork.

Our Reputation
Oak Construction was established in 1980 by Mike Purnell who grew the business to be a locally respected and sought after custom home builder. Today, our family-run business continues to flourish with Mike's experience and expertise, in conjunction with his son Matt's vision and unwavering commitment to customers and quality.
We still earn our reputation every day, of being a quality-driven, hands on builder who offers each client the individual attention necessary to surpass their expectations.
Though we operate primarily in the ocean side resort towns of Lewes, Rehoboth, Dewey and Bethany, we have undertaken projects in all corners of Sussex County and southern Kent County.
