General Contracting
Licensed to build the whole project, not just a piece of it.
We are a licensed Georgia residential general contractor, RBQA008500, and CPESC certified stormwater professionals. That lets us legally take on the large, full-scope outdoor living projects specialty contractors cannot, coordinate the engineers and architects those projects require, and stand as the accountable contractor of record. Serving North Metro Atlanta and beyond.
Request a ConsultationThe License Difference
A general contractor can do what a specialty contractor legally cannot.
Most outdoor companies hold a specialty license, which limits the size and scope of what they can legally build. A licensed residential general contractor can take on the full project, pools, structures, walls, grading, and drainage, under one contract and one accountable party.
As metro Atlanta tightens who can legally build pools, walls, and structures, the line between a general contractor and a specialty contractor is only going to matter more. The work that once slipped through as specialty is moving toward requiring a licensed contractor, and we are already on the right side of that line.
Our goal is to design and curate stone at the highest level, and to hold the license, the certifications, and the professional team to step in and carry an entire project when that is what a build needs.

What our license lets us do.
The difference between a licensed general contractor and a specialty contractor is the difference between building the whole project and building a piece of it.
Licensed Residential GC
Georgia license RBQA008500, the credential that legally allows us to build full-scope projects, not just isolated pieces.
Larger, Full-Scope Projects
Pools, structures, walls, grading, and drainage delivered under one contract instead of stitched together across specialty trades.
CPESC Stormwater Certified
Certified professionals in erosion and sediment control, so land disturbance, grading, and drainage are managed and permitted correctly.
Permitting and Code
We pull the permits and build to code as the licensed contractor of record, carrying the responsibility for the whole project.
A Network of Professionals
Architects, landscape architects, civil and geotechnical engineers, and surveyors brought in as each project requires.
Step In and Take Over
When a project stalls or outgrows its builder, we can step in, design and curate the stone, and carry it to the finish.
The Team
A full professional team for large projects.
A large outdoor living project is not one trade. It takes a contractor who can hold the license, coordinate every professional, and keep the whole thing moving to one plan.
Engineers and Architects
Structural, civil, and geotechnical engineers, plus architects and landscape architects, coordinated under one contractor.
Surveyors and Stormwater
Surveyors to set the site, and CPESC certified stormwater management so grading and drainage meet code.
One Contractor of Record
We hold the license, pull the permits, and carry the accountability so the entire team answers to one plan.
How We Run A Project
One contract, one accountable team.
From the license down to the last inspection, the whole project runs through one contractor of record.
01
Licensed Contractor of Record
We carry the license, the permits, and the responsibility for the build from start to finish.
02
Stormwater and Erosion Control
CPESC certified plans and management for land disturbance, grading, and drainage.
03
Engineering Coordination
Structural, civil, and geotechnical engineering brought together under one schedule.
04
Design and Architectural Coordination
Architects and landscape architects integrated so design intent carries through construction.
05
Survey and Site Layout
Surveyors set the site so the project is staked and built exactly where it belongs.
06
Project Takeover
We can step into a stalled project, assess where it stands, and carry it across the finish line.
Why It Protects You
The Protection a Licensed Contractor Provides
A large outdoor living project carries real legal and financial weight. Building it with a licensed general contractor of record is what keeps that weight off you.
Legal to Build It
A licensed general contractor can build the full project legally, where a specialty contractor cannot, protecting you from a build that should never have been permitted to them.
One Accountable Party
One licensed contractor of record carries the permits, the team, and the responsibility, instead of finger pointing between trades.
Built to Code, Permitted Right
Permits pulled and inspections passed by the contractor who is legally responsible for them.
Ahead of the Regulation
As licensing requirements tighten, your project is already built by the kind of contractor the rules are moving toward requiring.
The Whole Team, One Plan
Engineers, architects, and surveyors coordinated under one contract so nothing falls between the cracks.
A look at our projects.
Capital Allocation
Built for large, full-scope projects.
We take on complete outdoor living projects as the licensed general contractor, typically beginning at $200,000 in total scope and scaling well beyond for full estate builds.
We also step into existing projects that have stalled or outgrown their original builder, assess where they stand, and take over as the contractor of record.
When A Licensed GC Matters
- Projects that cross specialty license limits
- Pools, walls, and structures on one site
- Significant grading, drainage, or land disturbance
- Multiple engineers and design professionals involved
- A project that has stalled and needs taking over
Clear Answers
Frequently asked questions about our contracting.
What is a residential general contractor license, and why does it matter?
It is the state credential that legally allows a contractor to build full-scope residential projects and act as the contractor of record. It matters because it sets who can legally permit and build larger work, and who is held accountable for it. We hold Georgia license RBQA008500.
How is that different from a specialty contractor?
A specialty contractor is limited to a specific trade and to the scope and project size that license allows. A general contractor can take on the full project across trades and stand as the single accountable party for the whole build.
Can you take over a project another contractor started?
Yes. We can step into a stalled or troubled project, assess where it stands, design and curate the stone and the remaining scope, and take over as the licensed contractor of record to carry it to the finish.
Do you handle permits and stormwater compliance?
Yes. We pull permits and build to code as the contractor of record, and as CPESC certified professionals we handle the erosion, sediment, and stormwater requirements that come with grading and land disturbance.
Can you work with my architect or engineer?
Yes. We regularly coordinate architects, landscape architects, civil, structural, and geotechnical engineers, and surveyors, and we will work with your professionals or bring in ours.
What size projects do you take on?
We focus on large, full-scope outdoor living projects, the kind that combine pools, structures, walls, grading, and drainage and need a licensed contractor to tie them together. Reach out with your scope and we will tell you how we would approach it.
