Our Story
Founded in 2015 by William Gwathmey, Gwathmey Residential Group set out to challenge the status quo in luxury residential construction. From our humble beginnings, we have grown to a team of over 20 like-minded individuals that share a passion for perfection and exceeding client expectations. Through persistent dedication we live out our culture of innovation, craftsmanship, and dedication and Gwathmey Residential Group has emerged as the standard of excellence in the realm of luxury residential building.
Coastal Luxury Home Builder Design Approach
Our unique custom home builder design process is a cornerstone of our work. We blend artistic vision with practicality, ensuring every house reflects our client’s dreams and our commitment to excellence. From the initial sketches to the final details of the floor plans, our experienced team in Wilmington, NC, pays meticulous attention to each aspect. We discuss every element with our clients, making adjustments and customizations to meet their lifestyle needs and exceed their expectations in every aspect of quality and design as a luxury custom home builder.
Site Selection and Analysis for Custom Homes
Choosing the right site is crucial, especially in coastal areas like Hampstead or Wrightsville Beach. Our expertise as a custom home builder and contractor in Wilmington, NC, guides clients through this complex process. We evaluate every lot not just for its aesthetic potential but also for practical considerations such as soil quality, zoning laws, and long-term value, ensuring the location fits the grandeur and functionality of a luxury custom home.
Designing and Constructing Beachfront Properties
Beachfront properties are among the most coveted, and as a beachfront home builder, designing homes for these locations requires a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of the environment. Our projects on beachfront sites focus on maximizing views and enhancing direct access to the water while ensuring privacy and comfort. Every design is personalized, from expansive windows offering stunning sea views to robust building techniques that protect the home from the elements. Our role as a beachfront home builder ensures that each home not only stands out for its aesthetic appeal but also its resilience and functionality.
Piling and Foundation Solutions for Elevated Homes
In areas prone to flooding, such as many parts of coastal North Carolina, elevated homes are not just a luxury but a necessity. Our expertise as piling home builders in piling and other foundation solutions ensures that each home is built on a solid base, safe from environmental threats. This method not only secures the home structurally but also provides peace of mind for homeowners, knowing their dream home is built to last.
Luxury Custom Home Interiors
Interior design in luxury homes is about creating spaces that reflect the homeowner’s personality while incorporating high-end materials and state-of-the-art finishes. Our luxury home builder team works closely with each client, selecting custom elements that enhance the home’s comfort and elegance. From bespoke joinery to luxury fittings, every interior we design is a testament to our dedication to quality and craftsmanship.
Landscaping and Exterior Design for Luxury Homes
The exterior of a home is just as important as the interior. Our landscaping designs are crafted to complement the architectural style of each home and are tailored to the lifestyle of the homeowner. Whether it’s a tranquil garden for relaxation or an elaborate outdoor entertainment area, we ensure every outdoor space enhances the overall beauty and functionality of the home, making it a haven of luxury living.

PROCESS
WE TAKE PRIDE IN OUR AIM SMALL, MISS SMALL APPROACH.
At Gwathmey Residential Group, our work is a testament to our commitment to superior quality and passion for lasting beauty.
With our comprehensive build process, you can enjoy making the decisions while we handle the details.
We use online collaboration software to manage our projects and provide clients access to real-time costs, an organized schedule, and daily job logs. In addition, we arrange all information by division, so there are robust records of issues and discussions related to the specifics of the project. Our streamlined process makes things smooth for us and keeps things simple for our clients.
We incorporate this quality and cost procedure into every phase of our process. That means unlimited access to us, and the advice you need, detailed information about your project, as well as the confidence that your home is being built with superior materials.
Preconstruction
This is where the magic begins, so show us your inspiration!
Collaborating alongside the design team, we will identify the best use of space and materials while focusing on efficiency and costs.
Our focus is working with the client and the architect to provide support and input that will drive the final design to meet the client’s budget, while exceeding their needs and desires.
Construction & Build
We feel client education is critical to a happy outcome. Our job is to present all the facts to allow the client to make an informed decision. At this stage, we will discuss all processes and procedures, so our clients know what to expect. We will have a dedicated project manager for each job who is supported by a team of dedicated staff to ensure he/she has everything they need for success. Emphasis on efficient job practices and quality control, as well as issue identification and resolution, are essential to our mission. We also have reliable support staff in the office who will assist and facilitate the project manager as well.
Post Construction & Finalization
One step closer to your dream, this is where we manage, closeout, and complete any outstanding items. This is our opportunity to showcase how we exceed client expectations. We will spend countless hours with the client reviewing all aspects of the home, so you understand how to operate, enjoy, and maintain your home. We will walk through the home with you and together review every detail, the warranty process, and ensure you are thrilled with the final product.
