Berkshire Mountain Design Build, LLC
Home Builders & Construction Companies in Manchester Center.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars19 August 2016
“We hired Tony and crew to design and execute a Post and Beam front porch using our own cherry harvested from our property. Tony chose the trees, harvested them , planed the beams , and designed and erected the most beautiful, elegant front entry we've ever seen or could have imagined. It has a simplicity that makes the most of the wood and complements the design of the house. His enthusiasm and craftmanship with the project was unparalleled in our experience.”
Jamaica Cottage Shop Inc
Home Builders & Construction Companies in Manchester Center.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars16 April 2015
“Jamaica Cottage Shop is awesome. We had a playhouse (Writers Haven) and a shed (Potting Shed), and both are extremely well built. They're very sturdy, and they delivered it to the exact spot we wanted. Our customer representative, Mindy, made sure we got everything we wanted for specifications. She let us customize the buildings so that they were exactly what we wanted! You can always check out pictures on their website.”

Dufour Design LLC
Home Builders & Construction Companies in Manchester Center.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars8 November 2013
“Project: Redesign small, 1970's era outdated galley kitchen to make more open/inviting/up to date. Dufour Design was selected after a thorough review process amongst other local contractors. Jamie stood out as someone with integrity and honesty, a willingness to work within a budget, and an ability to think "outside the box" for concept, design and efficient/responsible use of materials. Deadlines were met with effective communication of progress--this was especially important as we were not physically at the project during renovation. Superb craftsmanship and attention to detail. We are thrilled with the finished product, and would highly recommend Dufour Design.”
Vermont Barns
Home Builders & Construction Companies in Manchester Center.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars22 March 2018
“The Wadsworth Company/VT Barns built our dream home near Mount Snow in 2015. We could not be happier with their level of execution and the quality of the workmanship. Rob Wadsworth and his team have a unique ability to turn dreams into reality and this is largely due to the incredible group of designers, carpenters and subcontractors that they assemble for the project. They truly cared about turning the collective vision for the project into reality. A key testament to their professionalism and capability is that they remain great friends with so many of their clients. We love being part of the Wadsworth family :-)”
Bensonwood
Home Builders & Construction Companies in Manchester Center.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars24 September 2013
“Excellent firm. Every employee is courteous & extremely knowledgeable. They listen to your wants and needs & devise a plan around that. Very professional. Beautiful wood-working. All builders should strive to reach their level. Definitely recommend them as number one for a timber frame home.”
Bonacio Construction, Inc.
Home Builders & Construction Companies in Manchester Center.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars22 September 2015
“Having been in the real estate business for a lot of years I could not have been happier with my building experience with Bonacio Construction. This is the fourth house I have built and this is by far the smoothest and most enjoyable building experience I have had. The process starts with the estimate (they were the lowest of five local builders) which is gone over from start to finish with everything explained and itemized. Constant updates from the office and a schedule for the anticipated completion, which they hit on the day. A few minor glitches (totally normal with new construction) after we moved in and someone was here within 24 hours to fix it. When people think they can not go through the building process I encourage them to give them a call and see how smoothly it can go. a 100% satisfied customer.”
Davis Frame Company
Home Builders & Construction Companies in Manchester Center.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars28 January 2014
“The Davis Frame Company hosted a visit to Claremont, NH, where my wife and I stayed in their model home, toured their production facility, and were made to feel at home. In the design phase they were very responsive - they modified a stock design to suit our needs. During design and construction they were very available to our architect and subs. I was on the phone frequently with questions and problems - the hand-holding was extraordinary. The business side was clear and straightforward. All targets were met. There was no quibbling. Our house is complete and it is a stunner! The Davis frame is a house....and it's a work of art. If there were 7 stars I'd give them seven.”
Real Log Homes
Home Builders & Construction Companies in Manchester Center.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars8 January 2014
“"We looked extensively at many log home kits and after much consideration made the decision to go with Real Log Homes. The home is closed in at this point and each stage of the build gets more and more exciting. The staff at Real Log Homes addresses and resolves any issues pertaining to the build, courteously and promptly. Their design team drew the plans according to our suggestions and their technical expertise has been greatly appreciated. In particular, Mike Heffernan is a wealth of knowledge and ensures satisfaction on all levels. We are do-it-yourselfers and his technical advice and the friendship that developed over time has been invaluable. We could not be happier and are proud to recommend Real Log Homes to everyone." Best regards, The Kerpel's Killington, Vt”
Van Natta Builds
Home Builders & Construction Companies in Manchester Center.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars8 September 2017
“I have worked with the Van Natta's for many projects over the past 15 years. We have done major renovations as well as smaller projects such as window and door replacements. The work was always of highest quality and they were a pleasure to work with. Communication was excellent - they show up when they say they will.”

When building a new house, people often turn to architects to kick off the project. However, a different model is becoming quite popular: design-build. Instead of dividing tasks between separate architecture and construction companies, you can hire a full-service firm to design and build your entire Manchester Center, VT project, from initial sketches through final construction. Learn more about how to choose the right design-build construction for your home project below:

What is a design-build firm?


Design-build companies take on the responsibilities of architects, contractors and construction companies, all under one roof. These full-service firms focus on a streamlined process — from the initial design to the estimating phase to physical construction — in the hope of creating an efficient experience for both the client and the company. Because the entire project is happening within one company, design-build firms are able to overlap the design and construction phases of the project, which oftens speeds up the project significantly. In addition, these firms work to minimize risks for the project owner through single-point responsibility contracts. However, depending on the firm, you may still want to contact an interior designer or architect to help create the exact look you want. Here are some related professionals and vendors to complement the work of design-build firms: Interior Designers & Decorators, Landscape Architects & Landscape Designers, Architects & Building Designers, Photographers.

Before deciding on a design-and-build firm, think about what you want from your new home. Do you want a large kitchen for entertaining? Do you need several bedrooms for children and guests? Do you want a finished basement for extra space or storage? Look for aVermont design-builder who specializes in the areas you're looking for. Budget is obviously a determining factor in the outcome of your project. To make sure you stay within your means, consider making a must-have list and a wish list. Gauge where the estimates are falling to determine which design-and-build contract can realistically strike the balance between the two.

Questions to ask a prospective design-builder:


  • How long have you been in the business?
  • How many projects like mine have you completed?
  • Who will be working on the project?
  • Are the workers employees or subcontractors?
  • Can you provide me with references?
  • Who is your designer, and what are his or her qualifications?
  • Are your employees licensed and insured?
  • How do you charge, and what does that include?
  • Can you give me a written estimate?
  • What do your services include?
  • When can this job get done?
  • What happens when cost exceeds the budget? What about changes to materials or labor pricing?
  • What will I need to provide?
  • Are there any important considerations or concerns you foresee with this project?
