Phi Builders + Architects

After considering a number of Maine firms, we selected Phi Home Designs to design and build a new house for us in 2013. The house was completed on schedule in May, 2014. From start to finish the team at Phi exceeded our expectations, and delivered on every promise. Phi offered us a collaborative approach to home building, and throughout the design/build process we experienced their good humor, warmth, patience, and expertise in all aspects of design and construction. Phi cares about nurturing long lasting client relationships, and we saw evidence of this at every turn. On and off site, our project manager smoothly steered our building process, always making time for our comments and questions. We also had regular progress meetings at Phi's Rockport headquarters, and together we reviewed the myriad particulars that are part of the building of a house. Looking back, it seemed as if the house had been so completely thought out before construction began that we wouldn't need a single change order, but the reality of building is such that change orders are nearly inevitable. Phi handled our changes efficiently, with creativity and flexibility. We are still in awe of all the work and attention to detail that our house embodies. We had some of the very best framers, finish carpenters, subs, and woodworkers around, and we believe that they built a house for us that will endure and age gracefully for generations to come, just as honestly and carefully built Maine houses have always done. We couldn't be more pleased, and we highly recommend Phi Home Designs. Thanks Phi!

The Phi Homes team surrounds themselves with the most talented and experienced designers, tradesman and craftsman in Maine! I've been in many Phi built homes, and I'm always amazed at the incredible high quality results. The bottom line is they take your vision and work with you to make it reality! - Dan Engelhardt from www.lightingconcepts.com

We hired PHI home designs to help us remodel our home with an eye towards resale. Bob Talbot met with us initially to set up a plan and then guided us through the entire project. He helped us determine where to focus our efforts and suggested changes that would improve resale value. His guidance was consistent and ongoing. We were kept up to date on costs and timelines, warned when our changes or requests went beyond our stated budget, and assisted in making decisions about both large and small details while also getting us discounts on many items. He remained in constant contact as the project progressed and has been continuing to monitor our satisfaction now that the project is complete. The personell working the job were all very courteous and respectful of our property and privacy. They were friendly and offered assistance or advice on projects not directly related to this job. The quality of the work is excellent. The end result is that the house came out so nice that we may not sell it now. We will definitely use PHI for future projects.

Phi Home Designs built my house in Camden...the first hole was dug in August of 2009 and I moved in May of 2010. My architect, a good friend in NY, was only able to provide schematic drawings so Phi prepared the construction drawings, which were sent to the architect by computer for his review, followed by conference calls to discuss details and resolve any outstanding issues. The project team was professional and very competent which was critical since the architect was in Camden only when the house was being framed and then not until the weekend I moved in!! I met with the project team on-site every week to review progress and in the office when product decisions were being made or to review proposals or the budget. I selected Phi because of their "team" approach and my experience with the entire team was outstanding and fun.

Can't recommend Phi highly enough. Did a kitchen refit for us that transformed our home and now they are our goto for any and all projects. Their craftsmen are all experts in their respective fields, polite and a pleasure to work with. Important to note - no job is ever too big or too small to warrent their complete attention.
