Meet the Ainslie Group Team ~ New Home Builders in Hampton Roads


The Ainslie Group centers around brothers Jeff and John Ainslie, who began their careers by learning every craft on a construction site from the ground up. During the last 25 years and more, they've carefully selected a team of affiliates- Ainslie Homes, Cohen Homes, Crestline Homes and Wendell Homes-who share their conscientious philosophy and green building practices while creating dream homes designed to be extraordinary in every way.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's different about the Ainslie Group?
It begins with our philosophy of homebuilding. We look at each project from the perspective of the families who will live in the homes we build.

Their lifestyle, their needs and their budget inspire our ideas for what their home could be. Those thoughts influence our designs, which are translated into the actual construction of the home and, ultimately, the livability and performance of the home over time.

Our entire team-affiliates, designers, craftspeople and office staff alike-shares the same philosophy. It's the foundation of the Ainslie Group's three core principles: passion for homebuilding, integrity that guides our actions every day and commitment to building each family's dreams.

Whether you are a first-time homebuyer, a homeowner who is looking to move up to the next level, or you're seeking to create a distinctive custom home, we invite you to take a closer look at the way we think and the homes we build.

Green Building: What it is and Why it matters
Green building is the latest media buzz in the construction industry. As professional builders, we at Ainslie Group welcome the attention brought by this important topic. We take it though, with some reservation, because true green building is a far more complex issue than that portrayed in the media. News spots and magazine articles usually focus on insulated windows, roof-mounted solar panels, high-efficiency furnaces, or recycled flooring.

Certainly, those products provide measurable benefits in terms of energy savings and improved use of natural resources, but genuine green building is much more complex.

A Green Builder uses a systematic approach to design, construction, and on-going operational durability, in which the sum of the benefits are far greater than the individual components.

A Green Builder also knows how to personalize the green building approach to address each homebuyer's needs and budget. They must carefully balance the value that the client places on the benefits of green building, with other available choices that have been proven performers for new home construction.

It is true that all homes (and all buildings) leave an environmental "footprint." The materials used in new construction come from natural resources, such as trees, metal ores, even oil.

The important goals of green building are to reduce the amount of natural resources required to build a house, and then lessen the amount of energy used by both the home and its occupants. Energy efficiencies achieved over the life of the home further reduce the natural resources needed to produce electricity and natural gas as future energy sources.
