ODS Construction has been building on Eleuthera for 26 years. We build custom homes, renovate and extend existing ones, put in concrete pools and replace roofs.
Building here is not the same as building on the mainland. Almost every material crosses water before it reaches your site, salt and storm season set the standard for how things get detailed, and there is no supply house down the road when something is short. We plan around that instead of discovering it halfway through a job.
Our own crews handle the core of every job: concrete and block structure, framing, roofing, tile and finish carpentry. For electrical, plumbing, air conditioning and window installation, we bring in specialist trades we have worked with for years and manage them as part of our team. Either way, the owner is on site, not on a call from somewhere else.
From a single bathroom to a house built from the ground up, we take the job from the first site walk to the final walkthrough. One contractor, one point of responsibility, and a written scope so you know exactly what you are paying for.

Custom Home Construction
We build new homes from clearing and foundation through to handover. Concrete and block structure detailed for hurricane exposure and built by our own crews, with electrical, plumbing and air conditioning carried out by specialist trades we know and supervise. Every material is scheduled against its shipping window, so the site keeps moving instead of waiting on a barge.
Kitchens, bathrooms, great rooms and full-house refits, in occupied houses and empty ones. We survey and photograph the existing conditions before anything comes out, so surprises inside a wall become a documented change and a number, not an argument at the end of the job.
Adding a wing, a second storey, a guest cottage or a covered porch to a house that has to keep standing while we do it. Structural alterations tied back into the existing building properly, with the roofline, the finishes and the mechanical systems matched so the addition doesn't read as an addition.
Concrete pools built for island ground and island water: excavation, steel, shell, plumbing, equipment, coping, tile and deck. We size the pool and the equipment to the site and the household rather than to a catalogue, and we build the plant so it can actually be serviced when something needs attention.
Every ODS job runs the same five steps, whether it's a bathroom or a whole house. It exists so you always know what stage you're at, what it costs, and what happens next, and so nothing gets ordered, poured or closed up before it should be.
01
Site Visit & Scope
We walk the property with you, look at access, ground conditions, power and water, and talk through what you actually want out of the space. No charge, and no obligation to build.
02
The Written Estimate
You get a written estimate organised by the CSI construction divisions that apply to your job, with imported materials costed delivered to your site. What you see is what the job costs, not a figure that grows once the containers land.
03
Procurement & Scheduling
We identify the long-lead items first (windows, doors, roofing, pool and mechanical equipment) and order them early. The build schedule is then sequenced around those arrivals rather than against them.
04
Construction
Our own crews build the structure and the core trades under our own supervision, and we coordinate the specialist trades on the same schedule. You are kept up to date on where the job stands, whether you're on the island or not.
05
Handover & Follow-Up
We walk the finished work with you, close out the punch list, hand over the documentation and equipment manuals, and stay reachable afterwards. Most of our work comes from owners we've already built for.
From the first site walk to the last punch item, it's the same team on your job.
Eleuthera & the Out Islands
Where We Build
ODS Construction is based in Palmetto Point and works the length of Eleuthera: Governors Harbour, Windermere Island, Rock Sound, Tarpum Bay, Hatchet Bay, Gregory Town and Harbour Island.
Being based here matters more than it sounds. We know which sites take a truck and which take a barge, which stretches of road will cost you a day, how long a container really takes from Miami, and which suppliers actually deliver. That knowledge is the difference between a schedule you can plan a flight around and one that keeps slipping.
If it can be built on this island, we know what it takes to build it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Twenty-six years of building on this island, with our own crews on the core of every job and specialist trades we have worked with for years on the rest, instead of whoever happens to be available. That means the schedule is ours to hold, the quality is ours to control, and there's one person answering for the job. The owner is on site.
Everything from a single bathroom or a roof replacement up to a house built from the ground up. We run several projects at once and we'll tell you honestly if a job isn't a good fit for us or if the timing doesn't work.
Most of what goes into a build here is imported, so materials are costed delivered to your site rather than to a supplier's door. Long-lead items are ordered early, so the schedule is built around their arrival rather than interrupted by it.
The whole island, from Harbour Island in the north to South Eleuthera, and we're based in Palmetto Point. If you're unsure whether your site is workable for us, call and ask.
The site visit and the written estimate are free. The estimate is organised by CSI construction division, with the scope written out and the exclusions listed, so you know what you are buying before you commit to anything. Anything that isn't clear, ask and we'll talk it through.
