Inside the Beltline, the lot is often worth more than the house sitting on it. That leaves an owner with three choices: renovate, add on, or tear down and build new. Waypoint Builders advertises all three.
Waypoint Builders is a Raleigh home construction and renovation company led by Andrew Thompson. Its website shows project galleries from Glenwood Avenue, Mills Street, Rowan Street and North Ridge Country Club, including a time-lapse of a Mills Street teardown and new build. Written detail is limited, and the site’s footer is dated 2021. Confirm current activity and recent completed homes before you sign.
Who Is Waypoint Builders?
Waypoint Builders describes itself as a subsidiary of the Waypoint Companies, “a Raleigh institution founded and lead by Andrew Thompson.” The 2025 Home Builders Association of Raleigh-Wake County directory lists the company as Waypoint Companies of NC Ltd. dba Waypoint Builders, a builder member, at an Atlantic Avenue address in Raleigh.
The website says Andrew has spent about a decade in Triangle real estate, working with Berkshire Hathaway, Rich Realty Group and the Waypoint Companies, and lives with his family in the North Hills area of Raleigh. The site lists services in three categories: custom homes, additions and remodels.
The website gives no phone number, only a contact form. The HBA directory lists (919) 931-2868.

What Should You Verify Before Signing With Waypoint Builders?
Before signing with Waypoint Builders, confirm the entity, the license, and recent new-home work. Our guides to finding a Triangle builder and why the builder’s agent works for the builder explain how to keep someone on your side.
- Entity and license. The contract should name Waypoint Companies of NC Ltd. or the entity that holds the license. Match the name and license number with the North Carolina Licensing Board for General Contractors.
- Recent completed homes. Ask for addresses of new homes finished in the last three years, beyond the Mills Street project, and call the owners.
- Real estate roles. Andrew’s background is in brokerage. If Waypoint helps you buy the lot, ask who represents you. We represent the buyer; the builder’s side represents the builder.
- Warranty. The website does not describe one. Get it in writing and compare it with our home-builder warranty guide.
- Infill rules. For a teardown, check zoning, setbacks and tree rules first with our Raleigh infill lot checklist.
Final Thoughts About Waypoint Builders From Tim Clarke
Waypoint works where many buyers want to be: Glenwood Avenue, North Ridge, and older Raleigh streets like Mills, Rowan and Lenoir. A teardown-and-rebuild on Mills Street and a stack of renovation galleries show a firm comfortable with infill. The record stops short of a list of recent new homes, so ask for one.
I have spent 17+ years in Triangle real estate. Our team builds as well as sells, so we can tell you whether a house is worth renovating or whether the lot is worth more with a new one. Call us at (919) 355-8462.
