The name Verdigris (VURR-di-gree) comes from the patina that forms on copper over time—a mark of age, story, and beauty earned. It’s a reflection of what I build: homes that grow richer in character as the years go by.

Ian Ogilvie, Founder & Certified Builder

As a born and raised Winter Park native, my appreciation for the undeniable charm and natural beauty of the area runs deep. The laid-back nature of the town has informed who I am as a builder, and certainly, who I am as a person. I’ve had the opportunity to cut my teeth under some of the most respected builders in the state of Florida (Z Properties and Floridian Custom Homes), making my construction experience well-rounded and well-poised to work within many design styles and tastes.

Whether managing the construction of a modern new-build, a restoration of a beloved mid-century home on the chain of lakes, or my own humble, yet elevated, 100-year-old craftsman-style bungalow, I pull from a deep well of knowledge and learning.

With pinpoint processes, warm and effective client service, and a discerning eye for high design, I bring an innate understanding of how to build beautiful residential homes with top-tier execution and quality.

Let’s work together on your dream renovation or custom home, and I’ll bring to life a thoughtfully done space where Wednesday nights feel as special as a holiday.
