Above all, we pride ourselves on one simple principle – your home will never be your neighbors’ home.

ABOUT

Pittsburgh Custom Home Builder

WELCOME TO BENJAMIN MARCUS HOMES

Benjamin Marcus Homes specializes in building high-quality, hand-crafted, custom built homes in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and its surrounding areas. Family owned and operated, the BMH team has been building homes for nearly 40 years. Our customers are involved in the process from beginning to end. You will be able to help with the design, select finishes from our 12,000 sq-ft Design Gallery, and plan the layout of your dream home. We strive to make each house different and unique, while continually demonstrating fine craftsmanship and attention to detail.

OUR MISSION

Quality You
Can Trust

The quality of our homes is paramount to our mission. We use the highest-grade materials in constructing your home and refuse to cut the smallest of corners. From the oversized footers and steel beams to the roof rafters and sealed duct work – the quality and craftsmanship of our homes is not just recognized in what you can see, but also in what you cannot. These key foundational pieces are part of every Benjamin Marcus Home. Competitors may find ways to upcharge you for a service or item, but oftentimes those same items are simply standard at BMH.

Innovation

We stay ahead of design trends to bring you the latest in luxury living, combining aesthetic brilliance with practical functionality.

Quality

We use only the finest materials and finishes, ensuring every detail of your home is constructed to the highest standards of durability and beauty.

Integrity

We are committed to transparency, honesty, and exceeding expectations, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable building experience from start to finish.

Our Values

Meet The Team

Our staff is comprised of creative, energetic and character-driven individuals who work tirelessly to ensure that you are involved throughout every step of the building process, so that you fall in love with the home we’ve built together.

As a family-owned and operated business, family values are at the core of everything we do at Benjamin Marcus Homes. Because of this, we treat each and every one of our customers like family. Additionally, we take the art of building dream homes very seriously, but often with a lighthearted approach.  Please take a moment to “meet” each of our team members and learn about what makes them tick.

MARK HOSKINS

Founder/President

Mark Hoskins started his career as a Master Home Builder in 1979 with one simple goal. That goal was to provide a custom building experience and superior homes while making customers' dreams a reality.

Now, with almost four decades of experience designing and building luxurious homes and estates, Mark (and BMH) continues pioneering in the custom home building sector. Therefore, he is recognized in the upper echelon of builders in the Pittsburgh Real Estate Market. Mr. Hoskins still spends more than half of his days on-site to ensure the homes get built to BMH standards.

Mark believes that his customers should be involved in the process from beginning to end. In today’s world of cookie-cutter, recycled architecture and corner-cutting “custom home building,” BMH strives to build unique and distinguishable houses with customized floor plans that become beautiful new homes.

It’s the level of attention and care put into each home that has allowed him to be twice recognized by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB). Additionally, he earned the Residential Development of the Year Award and was recognized three times for a best-in-class award for home building and design.

Marks favorite pastimes are spending time with his wife Liz and hitting some great tapas spots. Mark is also learning to speak some Spanish with his wife’s family. He also loves spending time with his three grandkids.

BARRETT HOSKINS

Vice President

Barrett has been around the family business since birth but started officially working circa 2001. It was the first day of summer after finishing 7th grade...Barrett had grand dreams of a fun summer with his friends. However, there aren’t any child labor laws with a family-owned business, so Mark had other plans. The young dreamer was sprayed with water at 6:30 AM while sleeping and dragged out of bed to join the workforce. As they say, "The rest is history.” He continued to work seasonally throughout high school and became full time while commuting to Robert Morris University, where he graduated with honors from the business school. Barrett recently married his wife, Jess, in 2018 and spends his free time homebrewing and loves all things MOPAR.
