About Us
The Principles Behind Every Project We Build.
Craftsmanship
Craftsmanship, to us, isn't a finishing touch — it's engineered in from the first line of the budget and the first day of the schedule. Every material, every system, every detail is chosen to perform for decades, not just to photograph well on move-in day. Delivering on that promise, every time, is how we define our work.
Communication
Even the most meticulously planned project will hit the unexpected. What sets us apart is how we respond: with clarity, speed, and accountability. Our philosophy is simple — "Things happen; let's address them and move forward" — and it's why our clients trust us through every phase of a complex build.
Vision
A distinguished home or restaurant space is never just built — it's envisioned first. We bring a clear, comprehensive view of the full scope of your project from day one, allowing us to anticipate challenges before they arise and consistently exceed expectations. It's a forward-thinking approach that has defined our work for over 25 years.
Excellence
Our clients hold us to an exceptional standard — and we hold ourselves, our trusted subcontractors, and our team to that same standard, without exception. It's this uncompromising consistency that has made Eco Custom Homes a trusted name behind some of Atlanta's finest residences and most celebrated restaurants.
Our Approach
At Eco Custom Homes, craftsmanship, communication, and vision aren’t separate values — they’re a single discipline, applied without exception. It’s the discipline behind every custom home, renovation, and restaurant we’ve built for over 25 years: proactive communication instead of surprises, transparent problem-solving instead of finger-pointing, and a shared sense of ownership between client, builder, and designer from first sketch to final walkthrough.
The result is more than a finished space. It’s an experience our clients and partners are proud to have been part of — and a project that performs exactly as promised, long after the last coat of paint has dried.
This is what Timeless Craftsmanship. Enduring Performance. means to us in practice — not just a line on our homepage, but the standard behind every project we deliver.

Chris Miller
Jeffrey Dinkle
Founder & Principal Builder
Jeffrey Dinkle founded Eco Custom Homes on a simple conviction: that a luxury home should perform as beautifully as it looks. As Principal and owner of Eco Custom Homes and ICON Development Corporation, Jeff has spent over 20 years building some of Atlanta’s most distinctive high-performance residences — homes where uncompromising design and rigorous building science are never treated as separate pursuits.
A graduate of Emory University with degrees in Economics and Sociology, Jeff brings a rare combination of analytical precision and design sensibility to every project. His EarthCraft training and deep expertise in energy-efficient, low-toxin construction have made him one of Atlanta’s most respected voices in high-performance luxury building — work that has been featured across regional design and building press. Jeff leads every project personally through a collaborative design-build process, ensuring each home reflects not just his clients’ vision, but a standard of craftsmanship few builders in the market can match.

Partner
Chris Miller brings an executive’s discipline and a craftsman’s eye to every Eco Custom Homes project. After a distinguished two-decade career leading large-scale data and operations initiatives for multinational corporations, Chris turned a lifelong passion for architecture and sustainable design into his second calling.
That rare pairing — rigorous operational precision and genuine reverence for design and craftsmanship — now shapes how Eco Custom Homes delivers on its promise to clients: bespoke residences built with the same discipline and attention to detail as a Fortune 500 initiative, and the same care and artistry as a signature architectural commission. Chris is deeply invested in ensuring every home the firm builds harmonizes with its setting and reflects an uncompromising standard of quality.
