Premium General Contracting. Engineered for Performance.
Delivering expert craftsmanship, precision detail, and modern building science to homes across Maine and New Hampshire.
Core Philosophy & Value List
- FIXED-PRICE GUARANTEE – We operate under a strict anti-change-order philosophy. The price remains unchanged unless you explicitly alter the Scope of Work.
- SINGLE-SOURCE MANAGEMENT – We oversee day-to-day site operations, manage vendor logistics, strictly enforce safety compliance, and maintain meticulous control over scheduling.
- RIGOROUS PROFESSIONALISM – Exceptional construction requires both skilled leadership and flawless execution. Driven by a second-generation builder and a dedicated team of estimators, project managers, and site superintendents, we coordinate all staging and materials directly out of our Yarmouth office and local facilities. The result is total logistical control, fewer delays, and a stress-free build from day one.
- GENERATIONAL HOMES – Our construction methods provide a durable, healthy home engineered to deliver superior indoor air quality, unparalleled comfort, and a structure built to stand the test of time for your family.
- UNCOMPROMISING BUILDING ENVELOPE – A home’s energy efficiency starts with the building envelope and the internal systems that support it. We refuse to compromise on the thermal enclosure, matching meticulous air-sealing with thoughtful material and systems selection to deliver peak energy performance.
Premium Renovations & Additions
Transforming an existing footprint requires a thorough understanding of complex existing conditions combined with modern engineering best practices. We excel in large-scale, comprehensive interior and exterior transformations and seamless additions that match the character and caliber of the original build.
Whether expanding a coastal property with a multi-room wing or executing a complete interior reimagining, we handle the intricate structural modifications, advanced mechanical updates, and premium finish work required for complex, high-tier remodeling.
The Multi-Division Advantage: We systematically engineer eligible Efficiency Maine rebates directly into your primary construction contract. When executing air sealing and insulation upgrades or mechanical system improvements alongside a remodel, we manage and deduct those state-backed financial incentives upfront so you maximize your returns via a single entity.
High-Performance Pre-Design & Custom New Construction
We bring vision to reality through exclusively high-performance, panelized new construction. Accommodating everything from curated pre-designed home packages to fully custom architectural estates, we bring our clients directly to our building partners, who handle the architectural design and high-tech panelization. From there, our team manages the entire on-site lifecycle—executing all site work, foundations, MEP rough-ins, and premium interior/exterior finishes while serving as the central hub of coordination between our building partners, our clients, and our trusted sub-trades.
Our High-Performance Building Partnerships: To accelerate the delivery of ultra-efficient structures, we serve as a qualified local building partner for premier regional panelization and timber-frame companies, including Bensonwood. We provide the local structural expertise required to construct, erect, and flawlessly deliver their advanced building assemblies.
Deep Energy Retrofits
True thermal efficiency requires looking at a structure as a complete, interconnected system. Rather than offering superficial modifications, we focus on comprehensive, full-scale deep energy retrofits. Because our team specializes in high-performance building assemblies and modern building science, we are uniquely equipped to meet the needs of a sophisticated demographic desiring luxury remodeling paired with cutting-edge thermal dynamics.
From historic preservation projects to modern estates in need of energy improvements, our weatherization services focus on high-R-value wall assemblies, targeted draft reduction, and the installation of triple-pane, European-style windows and doors to transform your property into an ultra-efficient living environment engineered for long-term durability, exceptional comfort, and healthy indoor air quality.
The LBS Pre-Construction Experience
The most successful builds are defined by the planning that happens before a single tool arrives on site. Our pre-construction consulting services align design intent with sound investment data early in the process, acting as a single point of accountability to deliver a highly organized, stress-free construction experience.
Track 1: Renovations, Remodels, & Additions
- Design & Architecture: As-built drawings, conceptual designs, spatial layouts, 3D renderings, and final construction drawings required for permitting.
- Site Evaluation & Engineering: Feasibility and zoning reviews, signed-off structural engineering reports for load-bearing walls/foundations, and existing utility capacity assessments.
- Living Logistics Plan: Detailed strategies for site access, material staging, advanced dust containment, and clear lifestyle planning for the family during construction.
Track 2: Ground-Up New Construction
- Site & Plot Planning: Documented property layouts showing the exact footprint, orientation, and positioning of the new home on the lot.
- Geotechnical & Engineering: Coordination of site-specific soil testing to determine exact foundation requirements alongside fully engineered structural plans.
- Utility Infrastructure:Comprehensive planning for bringing essential utilities to raw land, including electrical grid hookups, wells, and septic/sewer design.
Pre Construction deliverables
- Itemized Scope of Work: A granular, phase-by-phase breakdown of construction defining exactly what is included in your fixed price.
- Allowance Schedule: Clear, designated budget buckets for items not yet finalized to explicitly prevent future change orders before construction begins.
- Master Project Timeline: A preliminary construction schedule showing major milestones and your estimated completion date.
- Fixed-Price Construction Contract: The final, binding contract with a guaranteed price based on your approved designs, ready for signature with absolutely zero hidden fees.
The LBS Financial Transition Benefit: We provide a 100% Pre-Construction Fee Credit-Back. Upon signing your final fixed-price contract, 100% of your pre-construction agreement fee is applied directly as a deposit credit toward your build, making your comprehensive architectural, engineering, and logistics planning completely cost-neutral.
