What a GC Actually Does

You Hire One Person.
We Manage Everyone Else.

A general contractor is the single point of accountability on a construction project. We hold the license, pull the permits, hire and schedule the subcontractors, order the materials, sequence the inspections, and answer for the result.

The alternative — hiring a concrete guy, a framer, an electrician, and a roofer yourself and hoping the schedule lines up — works right up until it does not. Then you are the one standing in the yard at 7 a.m. explaining to a framing crew why the slab is not cured.

On accessory structures specifically, the value shows up before construction even starts. Most projects that die, die at zoning. We find out what your parcel allows first.

What We Build

Specialists, Not Generalists

We do not do bathroom remodels, kitchen updates, or whole-house renovations. We build accessory structures, and we build them repeatedly — which is why our schedules and our numbers hold.

Permitting

The Part Everyone
Underestimates

Four counties, multiple municipalities, and rules that differ by district. This is where projects stall, and it is why we handle it.

New Hanover County & City of Wilmington

City limits and unincorporated county operate under different rules, including on accessory dwelling units and short-term rental. Impervious surface, stormwater, and setback requirements are strictly applied. Some parcels also fall under CAMA jurisdiction.

Brunswick County

Leland, Southport, Bolivia, Winnabow, Belville, Navassa, Shallotte, and Oak Island. Rapid growth means permitting volume, and coastal wind zone requirements tighten as you move toward the water.

Pender County

Hampstead, Burgaw, Surf City, Rocky Point, Currie, and Maple Hill. More agricultural parcels, more septic-dependent lots, and soil evaluation requirements that can control an ADU project's feasibility.

Onslow County

Jacksonville, Holly Ridge, Sneads Ferry, and Richlands. Significant military-adjacent housing demand, and its own permitting cadence and inspection scheduling.

The Process

How a Project Runs

01

Conversation

What you want to build, where, roughly when, and roughly what you want to spend. Ten minutes on the phone usually tells us both whether this is a fit.

02

Site Visit & Assessment

We come out, measure, check setbacks and access, and evaluate utility and septic feasibility. $250, credited back at signing.

03

Written Proposal

Itemized scope, allowances, permit and fee estimates, and a schedule that includes permitting time instead of pretending it takes a week.

04

Contract & Design

Signed agreement, construction drawings, engineering, and any required survey or soil evaluation.

05

Permitting

Submittal, plan review, comment response, and permit issuance in the correct jurisdiction.

06

Construction & Closeout

Site prep through final inspection, with one point of contact the whole way. Walkthrough, punch list, and handoff.

One Contractor. One Point of Accountability.
