GDL Solutions is a licensed and insured New Jersey general contractor building ground-up custom homes, teardown rebuilds and large additions. One builder, one schedule, one number to call — from site work and foundations through final trim and the certificate of occupancy.
Full builds on your lot — architectural coordination, permits, foundation, framing, systems and finishes under one contract.
Great neighborhood, tired house. We demo the existing structure and rebuild a modern home on the same lot.
Add the square footage you actually need without moving — bump-outs, rear additions and full second-floor builds.
Self-contained living space for family or rental income, built to NJ code with separate entrances and utilities where allowed.
We work alongside your architect — or bring ours — so the drawings match the budget before a shovel hits the ground.
Because we run our own asphalt and masonry division, driveways, walkways, patios and grading finish with the house.
We walk the lot, talk budget honestly, and tell you what is realistic before you spend money on drawings.
Plans, engineering, allowances and a line-item budget. You see the whole number before we sign.
We handle the township submittals, zoning, and utility coordination — and we keep you posted on where each item stands.
Demo, excavation, footings, foundation waterproofing and drainage engineered for North Jersey soil and frost depth.
Framing, roof, windows, rough plumbing, electric and HVAC, then insulation — each stage inspected and signed off.
Cabinets, tile, trim, paint, fixtures, punch list and final C.O. — plus a written warranty and a real follow-up.
“They tore down our 1950s cape and had us in a brand new home the following year. Weekly updates the whole way.”
“The budget we signed is the budget we paid. No surprise change orders, which is unheard of around here.”
“Second story addition on a house we live in with two kids. They phased it so we never had to move out.”
Most of our ground-up builds in North Jersey land between $325 and $550 per square foot depending on finish level, site conditions and township requirements. We give you a line-item budget in preconstruction, not a vague per-foot guess.
Plan on 12 to 18 months from signed contract to move-in for a typical build — roughly 3 to 6 months of design, engineering and permitting, then 9 to 12 months of construction.
Yes. Zoning, building, plumbing, electric, fire and final C.O. are all part of our scope, and we manage the inspection schedule so trades are not sitting idle.
Absolutely. We work with your architect, or bring one of ours in, and we budget the drawings early so the design matches your number.
