Featured Reviews for Design-Build Contractors & Firms in Dorchester

Northcape Design/Build
Design-Build Contractors & Firms in Dorchester
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 17, 2013
“We have been living in our Northcape built house for over 2 years now,and couldn't be happier. The process of designing and building the house was delightful, the finished product our dream come true. Designer/decorator Pat Westgate was so easy to work with, accompanying me to granite, tile, appliance and plumbing showrooms, all of which were totally overwhelming. She gently guided me to the best choices, gave her opinions when asked, whittled choices down when there were too many, etc. She was also a great resource when choosing lighting, always difficult for us since my husband and I have different tastes in that regard. She and Project Manager Jim Goin suggested some design changes that we are very happy with. Friends comment on how "solid" the house is--so well insulated from outside noise. It's an exceptionally well built house, with great attention to detail.”
Yankee Barn Homes

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 21, 2013
“Right from the start (telephone, meet and great) through design; cost estimates; meeting owners of Yankee Barn Homes; choosing a contractor; Yankee Barn follow-up; quality control: and quality of the staff...by far a fabulous experience. An now the fabulous experience continues with living in this spacious, beautifully designed home. The feedback from friends and neighbors says it all..."WOW...it is beautiful." Thank you, thank you to all of the Yankee Barn staff. You are simply the very best.”

“Wade is an outstranding carpenter with a great eye for detail. His design sense is spot on and knowledge of green building is vast. On top of all this, his work ethic is second to none!”
Cargill Construction Co LLC
Design-Build Contractors & Firms in Dorchester
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 1, 2016
“Cargill designed and built our new home three years ago. They did a great job and we could not be happier with the result and the on going attention they have shown us since completion. We would use them again for sure.”
Fenton W. Varney - Master Builders
Design-Build Contractors & Firms in Dorchester
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 20, 2013
“Quality that is rare today. Fenton Varney was recommended to me by a very happy client, after I bemoaned the lack of "old-world" quality in home construction . I plan to have them handle our kitchen, formal entrance, master bath, and porch remodel.”
Northstar Contractors, LLC
Design-Build Contractors & Firms in Dorchester
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 22, 2013
“Our experience with Northstar was top notch! As soon as we met Wes and Mcgregor I knew this was the Contractor to build our retirement home. They are both very professional and personable. We worked on the plans for our home and met with Wes and Mcgregor at least twice a month to lay out the rooms and make additions or deletions for 9 months before we broke ground. Once the project began we had open communication and never did we feel like we couldn't interject and make a change after the fact. Every day during the building process felt like Christmas. Something new and exciting to see! Wes spent his Saturdays sitting with us and the kitchen designer (for hours), looking at windows and sliders, taking us to a custom hardwood shop to choose our flooring. We didn't expect such personal treatment and it was so nice to have his expertise throughout the project. This is not a job for Wes it's a labor of love! That is evident and what I saw in Northstar the very first time we met them. Nortstar is a full service Contractor! They work very hard to make your vision and your dream become a reality!”
JH Design Build
Design-Build Contractors & Firms in Dorchester
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 8, 2018
“Couldn't be more pleased with the design and construction work of Andreas and Jamie in renovating the 1960's ranch house we purchased last year. Their design sense is exceptional, their craftsmanship and carpentry skills meticulous and exacting. They approach each challenge with a great deal of thought and caring, adding small touches of unique artistry which resulted in our home becoming a lovely and nourishing place to live. Andreas is a thoughtful, respectful communicator which made this difficult time for our family SO much easier! You can count on him to listen carefully, work closely with you, and stand behind his commitments. We feel very fortunate to have had Jamie and Andreas as our builders.”

Forty4 North Restoration
Design-Build Contractors & Firms in Dorchester
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 22, 2013
“Joel did a complete renovation on my main bathroom, stripping it down to the bare bones, including removing walls, and then building it up again. My house is 260 years old and I was very concerned about it fitting in with the rest of the house. Joel did a fabulous job, including refinishing the original pin floor and pine vanity, building a laundry closet and a beautiful corner cabinet for sheets and towels. He did complex tile work and installed all new lighting as well as a new clawfoot tub, toilet and marble top for the vanity. He even helped me pick out new colors for the walls. I highly recommend Joel for all your remodling needs.”
Davis Frame Company
Design-Build Contractors & Firms in Dorchester
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 28, 2014
“The Davis Frame Company hosted a visit to Claremont, NH, where my wife and I stayed in their model home, toured their production facility, and were made to feel at home. In the design phase they were very responsive - they modified a stock design to suit our needs. During design and construction they were very available to our architect and subs. I was on the phone frequently with questions and problems - the hand-holding was extraordinary. The business side was clear and straightforward. All targets were met. There was no quibbling. Our house is complete and it is a stunner! The Davis frame is a house....and it's a work of art. If there were 7 stars I'd give them seven.”

When building a new house, people often turn to architects to kick off the project. However, a different model is becoming quite popular: home design-build. Instead of dividing tasks between separate architecture and construction companies, you can hire a full-service Dorchester 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 Dorchester, NH 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, Dorchester design-build services 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 other design-build architect to help create the exact look you want.

Before deciding on a residential design-and-build company in Dorchester, NH, 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 Dorchester design-build architects 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 home design-build contract can realistically strike the balance between the two.

Questions to ask a prospective Dorchester design-builder:


  • How long have you been in the house 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?
