A lot depends on the size, complexity, and how quickly decisions get made. On average, you're looking at 10 to 16 months from breaking ground to move-in. If you’ve got a clear plan and keep changes minimal, things move faster. If there are design shifts mid-build, expect some extra time. Quality work takes time, and we don’t cut corners.

There’s no one-size-fits-all number. Cost depends on size, materials, design complexity, and site conditions. We work within realistic budgets and keep you informed at every stage so there are no surprises. The best way to get a solid estimate? Let’s talk about your vision, priorities, and must-haves.

Absolutely. It’s your home, not ours. We collaborate with you and the architect to ensure the final design reflects your style, needs, and how you actually live. We’ll also guide you on practical choices—because some ideas look great on paper but don’t always work in reality.

The biggest culprits are scope changes and material upgrades mid-build. We help you plan thoroughly upfront to avoid surprise costs. We’re also transparent about pricing, so you’ll know what’s included and what could push the budget higher.

Massachusetts weather can be unpredictable, but we build year-round. Some prefer to break ground in spring or summer to minimize weather delays, but with proper planning, winter builds aren’t a problem. What’s more important is securing permits, locking in materials, and being ready to roll when it’s go-time.
