My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Featured Reviews for Multigenerational Home Builders in Portland Maine

Maugel DeStefano Architects
Multigenerational Home Builders in Portland Maine
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 21, 2014
“We hired DeStefano Architects to assist us with drawings and permitting on a property we were renovating in the Historic District of Portsmouth. We saw the value in their services and actually had them represent us with the Historic Commission as well. They were professional and responsive throughout the entire process. We couldn't have been more pleased with the work and service they provided. We're looking forward to working with Lisa and her amazing team on the next project. Brian A.

John Cole Architect
Multigenerational Home Builders in Portland Maine
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 1, 2013
“John designed our lakefront 2nd home,now ten years+ years ago and I can say without reservation, that his final product has delighted us ever since. His combination of professional experience in both large firm design, woodframe construction techniques, and an ability to grasp our intentions early on, allowed us to achieve our goals. We got great design, an efficient process, and with costs that reflected excellent value. Our comfortable home has at least seven locations-from a cozy reading nook to a breakfast bench that bring smiles every sitting! His practical oversight during construction ,together with his ability to relate to rural craftsman helped keep any cost related changes to a minimum.”
Reiter Architecture & Design
Multigenerational Home Builders in Portland Maine
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 2, 2021
“We used Lauren for a complete remodel including kitchen, multiple bathrooms, playroom, and bedroom. We used her for complete architectural and interior design. She was with us from start to finish of the project and we owe the success to her. Lauren has great design skills which is completely obvious by viewing her portfolio. The equally as helpful (and likely more important) skills that she brings to the table are her attention to detail and her perseverance in dealing with the contractors. She is there at every meeting to crack the proverbial whip and is very responsive (NYC responsive ;) to email/ phone/ text. I have and will continue to recommend her without reservation.”

Custom Home Builder FAQs
The duration of a multigenerational home project varies based on the projectʼs scope, complexity, and size. Generally, designing and building a custom multigenerational home can take anywhere from 10 to 18 months from initial consultation to completion. Projects involving significant modifications to existing homes may have shorter timelines. Early engagement with a builder to establish a realistic timeline is crucial for planning purposes.
Material and design trend selection is a collaborative process that considers durability, maintenance, sustainability, and aesthetics suitable for all ages. Multigenerational Home Builders often recommend materials and designs that offer long-term value, are environmentally friendly, and can be easily adapted or updated. They stay informed on the latest trends and innovations in home design to suggest options that blend style with functionality, ensuring the home remains modern and accommodating for years to come.
Homeowners should start by defining their familyʼs needs, preferences, and budget. Researching local zoning laws and restrictions is essential to ensure the planned project is feasible. Gathering inspiration for design and functionality can help communicate your vision to the builder. Additionally, having an open dialogue about expectations and roles among family members will facilitate smoother decision-making during the building process.
Builders address challenges such as privacy concerns, differing design tastes, and budget constraints by engaging in thorough planning and communication from the outset. They employ creative design solutions to ensure private spaces for each family unit while optimizing communal areas. Transparent, regular communication helps manage expectations and mitigate conflicts. Builders also work closely with homeowners to navigate budget constraints, offering alternatives that align with the projectʼs goals without compromising quality.
Accessibility considerations include ensuring that the home can accommodate family members with mobility challenges. This includes incorporating features like wider doorways, no-step entries, bedroom and full bathroom on the main level, and potentially installing assistive devices like stairlifts or elevators. Multigenerational Home Builders can advise on universal design principles that make the home accessible and comfortable for all ages and abilities.
To keep a multigenerational home project on budget, clear and detailed communication with your builder about financial limits from the start is vital. Request a comprehensive, itemized quote to understand all potential costs. Regularly review expenditures and progress with the builder to ensure the project remains aligned with the budget.
