Building a new home? Start with the right fireplace.

New Construction

Get It Right from the Start

Choosing a fireplace during the design phase—not after the drywall's up—gives you the widest range of options and the cleanest installation possible. New construction fireplaces are factory-built units designed to frame into a wall during the rough-in stage, with venting, gas lines, and electrical run before the finishes go on. That means no retrofitting, no compromises, and a seamless look that appears custom from day one.

From direct-vent gas models and wood-burning zero-clearance units to ventless electric fireplaces that don't need a chase at all, the new-construction category covers every fuel type and style. Linear, traditional, see-through, corner, peninsula, and multi-sided configurations are all on the table when you're building from scratch. The key is selecting the unit early enough that your framer, plumber, and electrician can plan around it.

WilliamSmith Fireplaces works directly with Lowcountry builders, architects, and general contractors to make fireplace selection painless. We provide framing dimensions, venting specs, and clearance details so your trades crew has exactly what they need. Our team can also meet on-site for walkthroughs and deliver units on your build schedule. Browse the full new-construction lineup below, or contact us to schedule a builder consultation.
