Scott began his career in the home building industry after being graduated from Auburn University in 1992 with a Bachelor of Science in Building Construction. Upon graduation Scott moved to Charlotte, NC to work as a Project Manager for Centex Homes. Eventually, he returned to his hometown of Marietta, Ga and continued his Project Manager role with Colony Homes based out of Woodstock, GA. With this builder, Scott decided to pursue an estimating role within their Purchasing and Estimating Department. Here Scott was introduced to homebuilding software that streamlines the back-office processes of estimating, purchase orders, customer selections and options. Over many years he drew upon this skill-set, working with other builders to implement various software systems and become an expert in overseeing Purchasing and Estimating departments.

Coming out of the 2007 “Great Recession”, Scott was fortunate to work for a builder that allowed him to combine his Estimating and Purchasing experience with a new and unique opportunity to learn more about home design utilizing CAD. Over the next 12 years he honed his craft. As the market slowly recovered Scott has since been involved with designing many custom homes and renovations for builders and homeowners. A few of Scott’s townhome designs won gold and silver Obie Awards presented by the Greater Atlanta Home Builders Association in 2021.

Scott’s expertise in Purchasing, Estimating, and Design as well as desire to make a difference in the home building community, continues to lead him to grow Michael Scott Designs.

Scott currently resides in Suwanee, Ga, has been married for 27 years and has 4 children ranging in ages from 17 to 24.
