## FAQ
### Who is Georgia Contractor Group Home Builders?
Georgia Contractor Group Home Builders is an award-winning Metro Atlanta design-build firm specializing in custom homes and select high-end renovations. Since 2013, GCG has helped clients turn their property, ideas, and lifestyle into thoughtfully designed, expertly built homes.

### Who leads GCG?
GCG is led by Ronald Lester, an NAHB Graduate Master Builder and Certified Professional Home Builder of Georgia with Metro Atlanta homebuilding experience since 1998. He brings seasoned judgment and direct leadership to every project.

### What services does GCG offer?
GCG designs and builds custom homes and takes on select high-end renovations. Design is done in-house, so the same team plans, designs, and builds each home.

### What does design-build mean at GCG?
GCG designs the homes it builds. Design and construction are brought together under one accountable team that coordinates architectural planning, 3D visualization, budgeting, scheduling, permitting, and construction from the beginning. This integrated approach gives clients clearer expectations, better-informed decisions, and greater control over the finished home.

### What budget does a GCG project require?
GCG's custom homes start at $500,000 in construction cost, not including land, and renovations start at $150,000. Every project is priced to its own design, site and selections, and design and budget are aligned before major commitments are made.

### How does GCG price its work?
GCG builds on a cost-plus basis: you pay the actual cost of the work plus GCG's agreed fee, so you can see where your money goes. Clients receive clear weekly updates on progress, upcoming decisions, schedule and budget throughout the build.

### Do I need to own a lot before contacting GCG?
No. You can start the conversation before you own land. Bring any properties you're considering to the first conversation, and we'll talk through how each could fit the home you want.

### What happens after the first conversation?
If the project is a good fit, we move into design and 3D visualization, developing the home around your property, lifestyle and architectural preferences. Design and cost are considered together, so the scope is aligned with a realistic budget before major commitments are made. Selections, engineering, permitting and scheduling are then coordinated before construction begins.

### How is GCG different from high-volume builders?
Unlike high-volume builders, GCG intentionally limits the number of custom homes it accepts, which allows for personal oversight, transparent communication, careful craftsmanship, and hands-on attention throughout the entire process.

### Where does GCG build?
GCG builds custom homes and select high-end renovations throughout Metro Atlanta and North Georgia, in Cobb, Fulton, DeKalb, Cherokee, Forsyth and Gwinnett counties, including Marietta, East Cobb, Vinings, Roswell, Sandy Springs, Buckhead, Brookhaven, Chamblee, Dunwoody, Decatur, Milton, Alpharetta, Johns Creek, Canton, Woodstock, Cumming, Kennesaw and Acworth.
