Construction and Owner’s Representation
We can build and renovate your property or represent you while another contractor carries out the work.
Plan for Construction
We work with your design professionals on drawings, permit applications, material orders, and the construction schedule.
Represent the Owner
We coordinate design professionals and expediters, manage the budget and schedule, and oversee the contractor’s contractual work on your behalf.
How We Manage the Work
You should know what the price covers and how the project is progressing.
- 01
Explain the Price
We explain what is included, what is excluded, and allowances for finishes you wish to select. We review the cost and schedule impact of changes before the work proceeds.
- 02
Maintain the Schedule
We tell you when decisions are needed, update the schedule as work progresses, and flag issues that could affect timing.
- 03
Report Progress and Check the Work
We send regular photo updates. As general contractor, we inspect and test the work as appropriate during construction.
Selected Project Work
Our projects include a complete home renovation for resale and the conversion of a former textile mill into artist live/work spaces.
Lofts at Beacon
We adapted Beacon’s former Groveville textile mill for artists to live and work. Construction restored structural integrity, rebuilt interiors, and upgraded underground utilities. Exposed brick and original steel preserved the mill’s industrial charm, while workshops, a gallery, and shared amenities supported the artist community.

Complete Home Renovation for Resale
We renovated a lender-owned home at Russell Avenue for resale, making structural improvements and modifications, opening the first-floor kitchen, living room, and dining area, and reworking the upper floors. The renovation created a primary suite, preserved and refinished the wood staircase, and renewed the exterior with standing seam siding chosen to fit the budget.
