The Focal Point Homes team

Meet the team

Our story

Scott Murray founded Focal Point Homes in 2010 after twelve years at two national homebuilders. He studied construction management at Brigham Young University and earned an MBA at Harvard. Since then the company has built hundreds of custom and semi-custom single-family homes on scattered in-fill lots in McLean, Falls Church, Arlington, Vienna, Great Falls and nearby.

The goal has been the same from the start: an enjoyable building experience for every client, and homes that make their neighborhoods a little nicer. To get there we hired people who are strong in their fields, productive and honest. We think you will like working with them.
