What hardwick general contracting does

Hardwick General Contracting, Inc. is a privately held, family-owned luxury custom home builder founded in 2004 by Greg Hardwick, P.E., and headquartered in Maitland, Florida. The firm designs and constructs bespoke single-family residences, executes whole-home luxury renovations, and delivers FGBC-certified high-performance sustainable homes for affluent homeowners across Central Florida — including Winter Park, Windermere, Lake Nona, Bay Hill, Dr. Phillips, and Lake County — with project values typically ranging from $500K to over $5M. HardwickGC was the first-ever recipient of the Florida Green Building Coalition's Platinum Level certification and holds NAHB Master Certified Green Professional and Certified Master Building Professional designations, anchoring its technical differentiator around engineering rigor (the founder is a licensed Professional Engineer) and sustainability performance, including measured outcomes such as a HERS score of 15 on a prior project.

The company's core offerings — Custom Homes, Luxury Renovations, and High Performance Homes — are delivered through an end-to-end model spanning preconstruction planning, design collaboration, specification management (via UDA Construction Online, a 15-year technology partnership), full construction, and final walkthrough. Revenue is generated through one-time project fees based on home size, specifications, and scope; pricing is quote-driven and not publicly disclosed. The firm operates with approximately ten team members led by Greg Hardwick (President & CEO) and Donna Hardwick (CFO), supported by a Director of Operations, Preconstruction Manager and Coordinator, Project/Production Manager, and multiple Construction Supervisors.

Go-to-market relies on consultative direct sales, a portfolio-driven website and social presence (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Houzz), recurring Parade of Homes participation (Showcase Builder 2026 in Orlando; Dream Home 2026 in Lake Sumter), and a strong referral network from past clients, architects, and design partners such as Nasrallah Architecture Group, SoCo Interiors, Winter Park Design, LC Interiors, and Concrete to Cotton. HardwickGC has accumulated two decades of regional recognition, including multiple Greater Orlando Builders Association Remodeler of the Year awards (2017, 2018, 2020), Florida Remodeler of the Year (2019), Master Custom Builder Council Builder of the Year (2016), AIBD Grand ARDA, and Parade of Homes Grand Awards, reinforcing a brand position as a premier boutique luxury builder in the Orlando MSA.

Direct peers

• Phil Kean Design Group: Winter Park, FL-based architect-led design-build firm specializing in ultra-luxury custom homes and whole-house renovations. Directly comparable to Hardwick on geography (Central Florida), product (bespoke single-family luxury), and design-driven, award-winning positioning.
• CastleWORKS Custom Homes: Orlando-area custom luxury home builder serving Winter Park, Windermere, Lake Nona and surrounding communities. Comparable scale and customer profile (affluent Central Florida homeowners seeking high-end custom builds and renovations).
• Akers Custom Homes: Long-established Central Florida luxury custom home builder competing for similar affluent buyers across greater Orlando. Similar project-value band ($1M+) and custom single-family focus make it a direct comparable for Hardwick.
• Jorge Ulibarri Custom Homes: Orlando-based custom home builder serving the same Winter Park / Dr. Phillips / Isleworth corridor as Hardwick, with comparable project scale and high-net-worth clientele.

Broad incumbents

• Arthur Rutenberg Homes: Florida-focused franchise luxury homebuilder with deeper scale and national brand recognition. Overlaps with Hardwick in the $500K–$2M+ custom-luxury segment but operates across a broader Florida footprint rather than a single metro.
• ICI Homes: Florida-based production and luxury homebuilder offering custom-design programs across multiple metros. Comparable in serving Florida luxury buyers, but at materially greater scale and with semi-custom rather than fully bespoke delivery.
• Toll Brothers: National luxury homebuilder with a strong Florida presence including Central Florida communities. Competes for the same affluent buyer at higher scale and with more standardized luxury product offerings versus Hardwick's fully custom model.
• Taylor Morrison: Large publicly-traded homebuilder with deep Florida operations including luxury product lines. Comparable end-customer segment but with vastly greater scale, production-builder model, and balance sheet versus Hardwick's boutique custom approach.
• WCI Communities: Florida-focused luxury and upscale homebuilder and community developer with operations across multiple metros. Comparable end-customer segment in Florida luxury housing, though operating as a community-scale developer rather than a purely custom builder.

Regional players

• Goehring & Morgan Construction: Boutique custom home builder in Austin, TX focusing on high-end single-family residences in central Texas. Comparable bespoke-luxury positioning and project scale to Hardwick, though operating in a different geography.
