★ General Contractor & Real Estate Perspective

Raw Land to Real Vision

From the first walk of the property to a fully permitted, buildable site — White Mountain General Contractor helps landowners turn raw acreage into real opportunity.

From First Walk to Finished Site

Every property WMGC builds on today started as raw land — that's the first step in our Our Process approach on every job, and it's also where we can add the most value, long before a shovel goes into the ground.

Landowners sitting on significant acreage face the same questions: What can this land actually become? What will it take to get there — zoning, permitting, utilities, access? And who are the right partners to make it real?

WMGC brings a rare combination to that conversation: a general contractor's understanding of what it actually takes to build, paired with a real estate professional's market and deal perspective. We've spent years navigating New Hampshire's permitting and entitlement process, coordinating engineers and surveyors, and managing multi-year builds from raw ground to finished product.

For landowners considering a larger opportunity, we offer:

  • Site evaluation and highest-and-best-use perspective
  • Local permitting, zoning, and entitlement navigation
  • Utility, access, and site infrastructure planning
  • A single, continuous point of contact from first conversation through construction

Own Land With Development Potential?

If you're evaluating raw acreage — for a custom home, a subdivision, or something larger — we'd welcome the conversation.

Design Visualization Practicum

Confidential Luxury Real Estate Development Project

This is a one-time, project-based academic practicum for design concept visualization — not an ongoing internship position — supporting a confidential, multi-year, multi-phase luxury residential development. The scope is limited to producing a conceptual visualization of proposed architecture sited on the property, for use in investor and development-partner outreach materials. Actual engineering and building design are outside the scope of this project. Site location and project details are shared only after a signed non-disclosure agreement (NDA).

Deliverables:

  • A realistic conceptual rendering of the proposed tower(s) integrated into a LIDAR-based terrain model of the property.
  • Second phase (contingent on scheduling): a composite of the rendering with drone video footage of the property for a simulated aerial fly-over.

Architecture Track

Undergraduate / Graduate Architecture Program

Build a 3D massing model of the proposed tower(s) and integrate it into a LIDAR-based terrain model of the property, producing a photorealistic rendering for outreach materials.

Responsibilities
  • Build a 3D massing model from provided reference material and site data
  • Integrate the model into a LIDAR-based terrain model at accurate scale and siting
  • Produce a photorealistic rendering communicating the design concept
  • Incorporate feedback and iterate as the concept is refined
  • Second phase: composite the rendering with provided drone footage for a simulated fly-over
Qualifications
  • Currently enrolled in an accredited architecture program
  • Working knowledge of 3D modeling/rendering tools (SketchUp, Rhino, Revit, Lumion, or similar)
  • Ability to work from reference materials and geospatial/terrain data
  • Comfortable working under NDA

Digital Media / Game Design Track

Game Design & Digital Media Program

Build or import a 3D model of the proposed tower(s), integrate LIDAR-based terrain data, and produce a photorealistic rendering or short animated sequence, including a composited aerial fly-over.

Responsibilities
  • Build or import a 3D model from provided reference material and site data
  • Integrate LIDAR-based terrain data into a 3D environment at accurate scale and siting
  • Produce a photorealistic rendering or short animated sequence
  • Composite the rendering with provided drone footage for a simulated fly-over
  • Incorporate feedback and iterate as the concept is refined
Qualifications
  • Currently enrolled in a Game Design, Digital Media Design, or related program
  • Working knowledge of 3D modeling, rendering & compositing tools (Blender, Unreal Engine, Unity, Lumion, After Effects, or similar)
  • Experience with terrain/environment/geospatial data a plus
  • Comfortable working under NDA

Structure

Each track is a one-off, project-based practicum intended to be pursued for academic credit through the student's department, under faculty supervision — not an ongoing internship. Scope and duration are limited to the deliverables above. Should the development advance, there may be future opportunities for continued design involvement; none is implied or guaranteed.

Candidates and their faculty sponsor will be asked to sign an NDA prior to receiving specific project details, including site location, ownership, and development partners.
