Building in Marietta

Start with the property

Whether a property sits inside Marietta city limits or in unincorporated Cobb County determines who reviews the plans and issues the permits. We sort that out at the start, along with surveys, setbacks and drainage, so the design is built around what the lot allows.

He expertly handled City of Marietta permitting, surveys, setbacks, drainage, and even prepped the site for a future pool.

Why GCG

One accountable team

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.

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.
