McLean Custom Builders
My Hands-On Approach to Your Home
I believe that building a home is one of the most personal journeys you will ever take. That’s why I don’t hide behind project managers or sales agents. Those seeking to understand the full scope of what may be created are invited to meet directly with the builder to explore possibilities face to face. This is a conversation best held in person, where vision, scale, and discretion can be fully appreciated.
The opportunity is not simply to purchase land, but to shape something enduring—thoughtfully, privately, and without limitation.
When you choose McLean Custom Builders, you are working directly with me, the builder, Sidd Kashyap.

A Legacy Built Since 1996
Since 1996, my team and I have been at the forefront of luxury residential construction in Virginia and the DC Metro area. Over the decades, we have navigated the complexities of this local market to deliver homes that stand the test of time. Whether you envision a 10,000-square-foot modern estate or a traditional family residence, we bring the same commitment to architectural precision and durability to every project.
For more than three decades, I have built homes as a discipline of judgment, care, and accountability. My education began early—at fifteen, alongside my father, building a home for our family—and it shaped how I approach every project to this day. I am a Class A contractor licensed in Virginia and Maryland, with experience spanning affordable housing and tax-credit developments throughout Montgomery County, condominium buildings in Arlington and Washington, DC, and private luxury residences across the DMV. I also hold an MBA in Real Estate and Finance from George Washington University, grounding each build in both craft and financial clarity. Across every scale and setting, the principle remains constant: when the transaction fades, the quality of the work is what endures.

I remain deliberately present in the field, walking each site daily, reviewing details before and after drywall, verifying materials, and standing personally behind every decision made. While select homes are offered for private sale, my work extends well beyond what is listed. I am deeply engaged in evaluating land, advising on feasibility, refining selections, and guiding construction strategy—particularly on complex or constrained sites, which I approach with the same rigor and care as the most traditional parcels. Many projects are currently under construction and may be visited and toured with me. Thoughtful guidance, shared openly, is part of the craft itself—conversations around building, value, and long-term outcomes are always welcome.
