Northcape Design/Build

We hired Northcape Design to remodel our second home in Newbury, NH. We were extremely happy with the overall experience with Northcape including their in house team, trade partners, quality of work, professionalism and responsiveness during our project. The NC team consisting of Brett, Nate, Becca, Tim and Monique were fantastic to work with! Thank you Northcape for a great experience!

We worked with Northcape to design and then build our family retreat home on Lake Sunapee in Newbury, NH. The outcome was stellar and our new home is everything we had hoped for and more. The house looks, and more importantly, feels, exactly as we hoped it would. Northcape delivered our home on time despite the insanity of building during COVID and both the human and material resource constraints. Building on a sloped lot, on a lake is not small task, and there were a lot of real time changes we had to make to comply with codes and accommodate the lot. Northcape handled these challenges, smoothly and confidently. The project management was excellent, and working with Nate Nichols, the project manager, could not have gone better. Communication was excellent, and Nate made sure the integrated team of trade partners were flexible and responsive to our needs. The four stars vs. five stars, comes from some bumpy roads we hit transitioning from the design to the build stage. This happened during a period where there were substantial changes in personnel which was part of the challenge. We also had to work through differences in opinions on how some aspects of the financials of the project should be managed, but in the end we came to a good balanced approach and as stated above the outcome was amazing.

We hired Northcape for the design and build for an addition to our cottage on Lake Sunapee. We added a second floor with a master bedroom suite, loft, new siding, new roof, foundation work, stonework, and improved stormwater management. We were very happy with the planning, quality of the build and finished results. Brett and team were very professional and responsive to questions and change control. We enthusiastically recommend Northcape.

When we first bought our home, we knew going in it would require a substantial remodel. We saw the potential of the property, but also knew we could not take on this level of work ourselves and needed to partner with someone that could really bring that potential to life. When Brett first visited us and the home, and we talked about what we wanted to do and he explained everything that came with engaging with North Cape, the diverse management team, their processes and technology, and the skilled craftsman, we knew right away that we wanted to partner with them. It was an extensive project and it was important to us that it would not only be sound from an engineering perspective, but it would be quality work and the team involved would take the extra care that you yourself would apply if doing the job personally. The North Cape team delivered! They provided the visuals and details we needed to feel comfortable with our decisions, were highly attentive and responsive as questions came up along the way, flexible and adaptable when changes were required and they didn’t hesitate to provide guidance and support when we needed it. The speed of which they were able to complete the work and get us back into the property was incredible. The transformation of the home was beyond what we could have fully comprehended. It really made our house a home, and a place where our family can be fully comfortable and enjoy our time together, which is priceless to us. We highly recommend North Cape and would not hesitate to work with them again on a future project!

Northcape originally built our home about 7 or 8 years ago. Obviously they did a fantastic job, as we then asked them if they would do an addition for us. They are professional, very detail oriented, and treat your home as if it were their home. We live 4 hours away so they are on top of everything when it comes to communication! Northcape has an exceptional process Including daily pictures of the progression of the project, the time line of the project, and all the checks and balances. We highly recommend Northcape Design and their top notch Project Coordinator/General Contractor!

I have worked with Amy and Brett for years now as their tile supplier. They both always show the utmost excitement when any new project comes along. A genuine love for the work produces a quality result. They fine tune to each individual project, and truly listen and provide what the homeowner wants. Their guidance through a building process is both thorough and enjoyable.

Brett and the Northcape team members are the absolute best to work with time and time again! They are absolutely stellar in all aspects of their project management from start to finish. I would highly suggest giving Brett a call for your next dream home!

We love working alongside the team at Northcape Design/Build. Brett and the team are very energetic and strive to foster great long term relationships with their clients and partners alike. They can offer excellent service and guidance through the journey of designing and building (or renovating) your home! We have collaborated (worked with the same clients) with Northcape Design (as Design/Build landscape architects) on many projects over the past 7 years. We greatly enjoy working alongside the Northcape Design/Build team.

A true professional in every way ! The quality of the workmanship was equal to the ease of the process. World class organization.

As an interior design consultant I have collaborated with Brett on several projects over the years and always found him to be the ‘best of the best’! His passion for design and construction is unsurpassed and every project will be met with knowledge, enthusiasm and a positive outlook. You absolutely can’t go wrong with Brett and the entire Northcape team. Highly recommend!

If you are looking for a first class firm to help you through the design process, the construction process, and the project close out you will have found the right company. I have personally witnessed Northcape help many customers through this what can be grueling process. They take care of all the details by using high tech software, great communication skills, quality craftsmen, and a true compassion for what they do.

We love working with North Cape, Brett and his team are professional, enthusiastic, detail oriented and a pleasure to work with. North Cape's project coordination and focus on communication minimizes downtime and keeps the project moving forward.
