Since 2003, RMB Building and Design, LLC has set the standard for luxury custom homes in Wilmington, North Carolina. With hundreds of custom homes completed in the communities of Landfall, Porters Neck, and Wrightsville Beach, and surrounding areas, we understand what it takes to create a home that is not only beautifully designed, but truly one of a kind.

Mack and Travis Braxton lead RMB with a five-person team covering design coordination, project management, client selections, and construction.

Drafting, design, and construction stay connected, giving clients one team from early planning through the final walk-through.

Both owners hold North Carolina Unlimited General Contractor licenses and are NAHB Certified Green Professionals.

To create custom homes that reflect each client's priorities, with integrity and careful attention throughout design and construction.

The RMB building process

Everything that happens before we break ground.

Every successful custom home starts with a thoughtful plan. Here is how a project moves from a first conversation to a signed construction contract.

01

Initial Consultation

Begin with a meeting to discuss the home, property, budget, priorities, and RMB's custom home building process.

02

Home Design & Planning

The team develops preliminary architectural designs, handles planning details, and coordinates any necessary community approvals.

03

Selections & Cost Estimates

You'll make personalized selections with guidance from our trusted partners, allowing us to prepare an informed preliminary cost estimate.

04

Final Approvals & Documentation

We complete detailed construction plans, coordinate engineering, and manage all final approvals to set the stage for the build.

05

Construction Contract Preparation

With every detail in place, we prepare your contract and timeline, ready to bring your custom home to life with expert precision.

Before we build, we plan

We begin each new build with a Preconstruction Services Agreement. It covers all the early-stage work, including site evaluations, design collaboration, and comprehensive estimating, that lays the foundation for what is to come. This agreement makes sure that your new home build starts with clarity, efficiency, and a shared commitment to excellence from day one.
