A Deal Pack gives you a committed rehab price. From there: put the scope out to vetted local contractors and compare every bid side by side — including Southern Cities' own — or hand the whole build to a licensed NC GC, fixed-price.
Three ways in
A licensed NC GC puts your rehab price in writing, sealed with the license and transferable once to your end buyer. Ships with plans, renderings, market study, materials list, vendor list, permit memo, and risk report.
See what's in it →Already have a scope? Southern Cities takes it to vetted local contractors, normalizes the proposals, and shows you every bid side by side — ours included.
See how it works ↓Already own the deal? Fixed-price, on-schedule execution — Southern Cities carries the budget and schedule risk. You bring capital, we deliver keys.
See how it works ↓Don't guess what construction should cost
Once your scope of work is set, Southern Cities packages it into a real Bid Package and sends it to vetted local contractors in your market — not a random lead-gen list. Every proposal comes back normalized onto the same scope, so you are comparing apples to apples.
Vetted, not random
Contractors are checked for license, insurance, and real project history before they ever see a Bid Package.
Southern Cities bids too — transparently
Our own offer sits in the same comparison as everyone else's. It is never favored, hidden, or auto-recommended — you see every original proposal in full, side by side.
Decision support, not a ranking
Proposals are tagged — lowest price, most complete scope, fastest schedule — so you can see the tradeoffs. Nobody is declared the “winner.” The choice is yours.
Wholesalers put nothing down. We put a licensed NC GC's committed rehab price on the deal, and the fee comes out of your assignment proceeds when the deal closes. Nothing closes, nothing owed. Fee confirmed on a short scoping call.
If you own the deal · execution
For owners who already control the property and want a licensed NC GC to carry the budget and schedule risk — at whatever level of hand-off fits.
Eliminate the chaos that costs investors $10K+ mid-build. We structure your project end-to-end before the cracks split the deal — a one-time $3,500 setup, then step into Active Oversight for the build.
See Project Setup →We become your project manager. You keep the permits, the funding, and the upside — a licensed NC GC runs the execution layer so the job moves without you managing it.
See Active Oversight →Stop running your project on a permit and compliance prayer. Southern Cities pulls permits + owns compliance — you keep daily control.
See Investor-Led Build →Stop carrying budget and schedule risk yourself. Fixed-price + on-schedule penalty means Southern Cities carries both. You bring capital, we deliver keys.
