Featured Reviews for Design-Build Contractors & Firms in Boston

The Holland Companies
Design-Build Contractors & Firms in Boston
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 5, 2017
“It’s rare to meet a builder that not only “talks the talk” but also “walks the walk.” The Holland Companies were on time, on budget, and delivered a product superior to the initial quality promised. Basically the opposite of what typically happens. We would entrust our next project with them only.”
Lee Kimball
Design-Build Contractors & Firms in Boston
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 31, 2013
“Lee Kimball did a single story addition and kitchen renovation to our historic home. They were fantastic. Very respectful of us, encouraged open and frequent communication, used excellent sub-contractors, were committed to finishing on time, and meticulous about finish work. It was a wonderful experience.”
New England Design & Construction
Design-Build Contractors & Firms in Boston
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 15, 2012
“We love our kitchen, bathroom and expanded kids bedroom. Dave and Cory really understood our style and our budget. I loved the communication especially the ever other weekly meeting to discuss questions and progress.”
Villalona Design
Design-Build Contractors & Firms in Boston
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 10, 2019
“With so many options to choose from, it is helpful to have professional guidance. May not have been an Instagram worthy project, but your advice and patience was appreciated. When the larger long range remodel comes along, will be sure to contact you.”
Feinmann, Inc.
Design-Build Contractors & Firms in Boston
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 10, 2012
“Feinmann remodeled my business as well as our home. Their work is top notch and they are a pleasure to work with. Everyone is highly skilled and polite. I have no hesitation in recommending them highly to my friends and acquaintances.”
Refined Renovations & Refined Home
Design-Build Contractors & Firms in Boston
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 9, 2014
“Jim Buhrer of Refined Renovations offers incredible vision, efficient execution, and an exquisite design sense and attention to detail that is truly beyond compare. After listening to us talk about the many possibilities for our addition, Jim provided us focus and a fabulous concept for our new master bedroom suite. He collaborated with us and an architect to ensure a solid plan, and in a few short months, Jim and his team built the addition over our garage that blends as if it has always been a part of the house. While the entire Refined Renovations team was professional and efficient, it was Jim’s creativity and wonderful design sense that enabled us to realize our dream of a casually sophisticated sanctuary that is simply elegant.”
ARCHIA HOMES
Design-Build Contractors & Firms in Boston
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 20, 2012
“Peter and Archia did a major kitchen remodeling project for us in Duxbury MA. The project was done on time (and the schedule was very condensed), on budget and with great results. They were proactive in anticipating any issues and changes and made the project better then anticipated. They drove the punch list, coming by after the project on their own to tweak and tighten items and ensure that all was well. We have done a number of home improvement projects and would recommend Archia without reservation! Mark and Wendy Rayfield ”
BB&R Design-Build
Design-Build Contractors & Firms in Boston
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 22, 2015
“Kevin and Joe were excellent to work with. They were responsive when I had a question and respectful in our home. They solved my kitchen demands within my budget and I ended up with a kitchen where I would not change a thing! Thank you!!”
Monica MacKenzie Design Build
Design-Build Contractors & Firms in Boston
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 29, 2012
“Working with Monica was a pleasure from start to finish. She has both the knowledge of a general contractor and the vision of an interior designer, so the finished product was kept in mind from the very beginning. Monica’s attention to detail never wavered throughout the arduous process of re-configuring an antique cape, and she was able to help us turn many would-be issues into bonus features of the finished product. She was extremely attentive to our thoughts and ideas and accommodating of our needs throughout the renovation. We couldn’t have done it without her!”
Design Plus Construction Corp.
Design-Build Contractors & Firms in Boston
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 15, 2016
“As an architect, I've worked with Keith Tower on nearly a dozen projects since 2009. Keith is a knowledgable problem solver, whether it's finding ways to accomplish client goals within a limited budget or setting up a temporary kitchen during renovations or juggling schedules to accommodate a delayed tile delivery. He employs excellent craftsmen and subcontractors. It's a pleasure to work with Keith.”

When building a new house, people often turn to architects to kick off the project. However, a different model is becoming quite popular: design-build. Instead of dividing tasks between separate architecture and construction companies, you can hire a full-service Boston design-and-build company to complete your entire project, from initial sketches through final construction. Learn more about how to choose the right design-build pros in Boston, MA for your home project below:

What is a design-build firm?


Design-build firms take on the responsibilities of architects, contractors and construction companies, all under one roof. These full-service firms focus on a streamlined design-build process — from the initial design to the estimating phase to physical construction — in the hope of creating an efficient experience for both the client and the company. Because the entire project is happening within one company, Boston design-build firms are able to overlap the design and construction phases of the project, which often speeds up the project significantly. In addition, these firms work to minimize risks for the project owner through single-point responsibility contracts. However, depending on the firm, you may still want to contact an interior designer or architect to help create the exact look you want. Here are some related professionals and vendors to complement the work of design-build firms: Interior Designers & Decorators, Landscape Architects & Landscape Designers, Architects & Building Designers, Photographers.

Before deciding on a residential design-and-build company in Boston, MA, think about what you want from your new home. Do you want a large kitchen for entertaining? Do you need several bedrooms for children and guests? Do you want a finished basement for extra space or storage? Look for Boston design-builders that specialize in the areas you're looking for. Budget is obviously a determining factor in the outcome of your project. To make sure you stay within your means, consider making a must-have list and a wish list. Gauge where the estimates are falling to determine which design-build contract can realistically strike the balance between the two.

Questions to ask a prospective Boston design-builder:


  • How long have you been in the design-build construction business?
  • How many projects like mine have you completed?
  • Who will be working on the project?
  • Are the workers employees or subcontractors?
  • Can you provide me with references?
  • Who is your designer, and what are his or her qualifications?
  • Are your employees licensed and insured?
  • How do you charge, and what does that include?
  • Can you give me a written estimate?
  • What do your services include?
  • When can this job get done?
  • What happens when cost exceeds the budget? What about changes to materials or labor pricing?
  • What will I need to provide?
  • Are there any important considerations or concerns you foresee with this project?
