Designed and built as a long-term family retreat, this mountainside home in Sandwich, New Hampshire blends classic New England character with modern performance and livability.

The ground may be covered in snow, but if you’re planning a home building or remodeling project this year, now is the time to get your project started. An experienced design-build firm like Cormack Construction Management will help you every step of the way.


Why do you need to plan so far ahead?

There’s a lot that takes place before construction begins. “Planning ahead gives us the time to thoughtfully design, secure permits, coordinate trades, and prepare the site properly—so when the project is approved, we’re ready to build without delays,” says Cormack Vice President of Design and Development Joseph De Serrano.

3-D Design Benefits

At Cormack Construction, every homebuilding or remodeling project starts with a detailed design.  “We offer 3-D design services so our clients can clearly visualize the layout, scale, and overall look of their project space from multiple perspectives,” Joseph explains.  “This allows homeowners to confirm that their new space will truly meet their needs before construction begins,” he adds.

Allowing time for custom woodwork

Getting a jump on your project now gives our woodworking team the time needed to complete the custom projects—such as handcrafted cabinetry and built-in storage and furniture—that make your living space uniquely yours.
