Custom Home Building in Massachusetts — Built Exactly as You Envision It

Building a custom home from the ground up is the most personal construction project you can undertake — and the most complex to execute well. Kenmore Construction Group manages the entire process: site assessment, design coordination, permitting, and construction, with a single PM accountable for every decision.

We work with homeowners across Massachusetts who want a home designed and built specifically for them — not a builder's spec home adapted to their preferences, but something genuinely original.

What We Build

Every Type, Built to the Highest Standard

Ground-Up Custom Builds

Site selection through final Certificate of Occupancy — every phase managed by one team. Design-build or construction-only against your architect's plans.

🏡

Luxury Spec Home Construction

High-finish homes built for Massachusetts's premium markets — exceptional architecture, superior materials, and craftsmanship that stands out.

🏛️

Historic District Compliance

Navigating HDC approvals, preservation requirements, and period-appropriate design details — without sacrificing livability or modern performance.

♻️

Teardown & Rebuild

Demolish an existing structure and build new from scratch on the same footprint — a fresh start with full modern performance and design freedom.

🌿

High-Performance Construction

PassiveHouse-informed design, superior air sealing, heat pump systems, solar-ready construction — homes built for energy efficiency and long-term comfort.

📐

Design-Build Custom Homes

Our integrated design and construction team works from a single contract — one team, one schedule, no gaps between designer intent and construction reality.

Our Process

From First Call to Final Walkthrough

01

Site & Feasibility Analysis

We review the property, assess utilities, evaluate zoning, and confirm buildability. If you're still selecting land, we advise on site considerations before you commit.

02

Design Development

Architectural design, structural engineering, MEP coordination, and interior design — all developed collaboratively with you before permit submission.

03

Permitting

Custom homes require building, zoning, electrical, plumbing, HVAC permits, and often historic district or conservation commission reviews. We manage every application.

04

Construction

Foundation through framing, rough-in through finishes — your dedicated PM is on-site regularly, communicating clearly and proactively throughout.

05

Closeout & Certificate of Occupancy

All inspections passed, punch list completed, Certificate of Occupancy issued. We walk the home with you before handing over the keys.

What Our Clients Say

★★★★★

"Building a custom home is the most complex thing I've ever undertaken. Kenmore made it manageable — one PM I could always reach, honest communication throughout, and the craftsmanship is extraordinary. I'd do it again with them in a heartbeat."

Douglas & Catherine W.
Custom Home — Dover, MA
★★★★★

"We went through the Historic District Commission in Concord, which added significant complexity. Kenmore managed every aspect of the HDC process — the design, the presentation, the revisions — and the final home honors the town's character while meeting every modern need we had."
