Guy Manganiello manages business development and homeowner relationships. Lou Schena oversees finance and operations, bringing discipline to every phase of the project.

Genesis Construction and Development delivers five core services to Wilmington homeowners. Each service follows our integrated design-build process, with fixed-scope budgets and transparent timelines. Below are details specific to your town and the types of projects we handle in your neighborhood.
Design-build means one team, one budget, one accountability point. We handle architecture, engineering, and construction in-house. You don't talk to an architect, then a contractor, then a project manager. You talk to us.
Your project starts with a clear understanding of what you want, what your lot allows, and what Genesis Construction and Development can deliver within budget and on schedule. We integrate design decisions with construction realities at every step.
Your fixed-scope contract locks the budget. No surprises, no change orders for the scope you approved upfront.
Genesis Construction and Development is a custom home builder that Wilmington families choose for fixed-scope certainty from day one. Building a new home in Wilmington means understanding your lot, the neighborhood context, the zoning on Route 128, and the quality bar that Genesis Construction and Development sets for every home. Custom homes in our Wilmington service area run 10-24 months, depending on scope and permit timing.
Your custom home will meet Energy Code requirements. Genesis Construction and Development typically builds to HERS 42-45 efficiency standards, reducing long-term utility costs and meeting lender expectations. Your home takes shape under a single project manager with daily on-site presence.
You control the schedule, the materials, the finish level, and the budget. Fixed-scope eliminates guesswork.
As multifamily home builders Wilmington developers work with, Genesis Construction and Development handles MBTA-era zoning and delivery under one contract. Wilmington qualifies under the MBTA Communities Act, which allows by-right permitting for multi-family projects on eligible parcels and opens new development opportunities. Genesis Construction and Development works with developers and homeowners on multi-family builds, accessory units, and adaptive reuse projects that fit Wilmington's housing goals.
Your project benefits from our permit experience in MBTA Communities and established relationships with the Wilmington Building Department. We coordinate all plan submissions and inspections.
You get a builder who understands both the regulatory environment and the construction quality required for successful multi-family outcomes.
Home renovations in Wilmington span several eras of construction. Wilmington's housing stock includes colonial and Victorian homes, 1920s-through-1950s Colonials, and 1960s-through-1980s ranches. Each era brings its own renovation challenges. Genesis Construction and Development handles structural updates, system replacements, and interior reimagining while preserving character.
Your renovation stays on schedule and budget because Genesis Construction and Development coordinates design, permits, and construction as a single process. You're not juggling separate consultants.
You get a builder who has renovated homes like yours across the North Shore and understands what works, what costs, and what timelines look like.
Home additions in Wilmington require understanding zoning setbacks, lot coverage, and the Building Department's review process. Genesis Construction and Development handles additions ranging from 400 to 1,500 square feet, plus accessory dwellings (ADUs) up to 900 square feet (50% of the primary home's size under state law).
Your addition requires approval from the Wilmington Building Department. Contact the inspector at 978-658-4531 or visit wilmingtonma.gov/building-inspector for current application requirements. Office hours are Monday through Friday. Additions typically take 4-6 months from permit approval to final sign-off.

We start with a phone or in-person meeting to understand your project goals, budget range, and timeline. No commitment, no pressure. Just a clear conversation about what is possible for your property.
Our team visits your Wilmington property to assess site conditions, zoning constraints, structural considerations, and any factors that affect design and scope. We document existing systems, lot dimensions, and neighborhood context.
Architecture, engineering, and interior selections happen under one roof. You work with our team, not a disconnected architect, so design decisions stay aligned with construction realities and your budget from the start.
We prepare and submit all permit applications to the Wilmington Building Department (978-658-4531), handle plan reviews, and coordinate inspections. Permit details are available at wilmingtonma.gov/building-inspector. Office hours are Monday through Friday. Verify current processing timelines with the inspector before locking your schedule.
The build phase begins with a fixed-scope contract. One project manager, one team, regular progress updates. No subcontractor shuffle, no surprises.

Budget for potential foundation work, system replacements, and surprises that older homes reveal during demo.
Massachusetts law allows accessory dwellings up to 900 square feet or 50% of your primary home's floor area, whichever is smaller. Wilmington's zoning and lot dimensions determine feasibility.
