Green Building Companies in Manchester

“We worked with GMT on an addition for a 1st floor primary suite plus laundry and office space. Glenn understood our needs and listened to our design preferences. We wanted an addition that fit the scale, age, and style of our house. The end result is seamless and blends perfectly into the existing home. GMT Connected us with general contractor, Erik Salmi of EWS Building, who was a pleasure to work with. Erik drove the schedule, completing the addition ahead of the projected timeline and included thoughtful details in the execution of the design.”

“We had Sam and Ian help us with our year-long gut renovation of our victorian house. Given the intensity of the project, the challenge of building at the peak of Covid supply chain concerns, and with the unending zoning and town procedural processes, I cannot recommend SKA enough. They were, by far, the most reliable partner in our project. Their ability to help with the architectural work, navigating policies of our town, and project managing an extremely complex project, and providing fantastic design guidance, singlehandedly made this project a real success. I would happily recommend SKA to any of my friends and family, and have been a huge advocate of the team. I would particular recommend Ian for his fantastic attention to detail, prompt response, and ability to navigate complex situations. Thank you team!”

“I hired Chris to do a major remodel to update my Cambridge Philly-style condo. Chris and his team did a phenomenal job, delivered the project within budget and on time, and was communicative throughout the entire process. I can't say enough good things about how this project turned out - it exceeded my expectations. The scope of my project included: open up a major structural wall, widen and improve the out-of-code stairs leading up to the "Philly" room, remove old built-in storage pieces, remove some non-structural walls, rearrange the entrances to some rooms, and a complete cosmetic update to all of the interior trim, walls, ceilings, floors, and lighting. This project was to take place over the course of 3 months in the winter, while I was temporarily relocated/moved out of my house and communicating with Chris remotely from across the country. I interviewed a lot of design-build firms to take on this job, and I hired Chris for his honesty. When I described the project goals to Chris during the initial consultation, the first thing he did was measure the distance from my floor to ceiling, before telling me that he couldn't realistically promise the staircase I had described (others simply insisted that it would be possible, no problem). The subsequent visits of his tradesmen to scope and quote the project were worth the modest price for a detailed quote (especially compared to other firms who went from "free consultation" to "multiple thousand dollar deposit to lock into a contract"). I was insistent on certain changes to the staircase, and Chris was incredibly accommodating - he modeled up a number of different solutions with calculations, in addition to communicating with the building inspector at the Cambridge office to make sure the changes would meet code far in advance. I am so glad that I trusted him to plan the stair design and do his utmost to provide me with alternatives and backup plans. I also appreciate his eye for design - he perfectly captured the modern style I wanted for this unit. His team worked every day on my condo. Chris professionally repaired every construction "surprise" that came up (a corroded pipe sprung a leak in the basement during construction, a broken key, a porch stair was damaged by a third-party - not part of Chris' crew, etc). When there were issues of paint fumes drifting to an adjacent unit (normal part of the construction process), Chris responded to my texts to resolve the issues, even though I was across the country. His attention to detail and communication made this project smooth and I felt like he dealt honestly with me where others in the construction industry have not before (I am female in my 30s). Chris' pricing is transparent and very fair for the level of service he offers. I would wholeheartedly recommend this company to anyone. It is 100% possible to have a stunning renovation done to your home while you are not in-state to micromanage the work, and to not be intimidated by the process.”
