For 20+ years NEDC has been bucking the status quo as Architects who Build.  We simplify the process by integrating the architect, interior designer and builder into one, helping you close more deals when you have a client whose property purchase is tied into a significant renovation project.

Here’s how it works:

When a buyer is interested in purchasing a home that needs remodeling but won’t commit fully to the purchase before knowing the costs/feasibility of doing so: CALL US! 617 708 0676.

We will come out to the home and walk the space with you and your client for a complimentary design consultation.  Using our Architectural expertise, we will sketch out potential design solutions grounded in real-world constraints of time and cost.

This detailed knowledge of what is possible in the home will give the buyer enough information and confidence to make an offer on the home!

3. WE PROVIDE EDUCATIONAL SHORT FILMS ON THE CLIENT BENEFITS OF ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN BUILD & THE ENVIRONMENTAL AND HEALTH BENEFITS OF PASSIVE HOME OPTIONS (GOLD-STANDARD ECO HOMES).

WHO WE ARE:

NEDC is a creative architectural design build firm of nearly 20 architects, interior designers, administrators and artisan builders. 

CEO David Muniz Supple is a graduate of Tufts University with a degree in Architecture. A standout Lacrosse player in college, David proactively took a job as a carpenter after graduation to round out his Architectural theory with an ability to actually build. In California, he further trained as an architect for three years, designing, directing, and managing 50- 100,00 square foot renovations. David founded New England Design & Construction in 2005 and the company has grown every year since. David’s mother’s family originally immigrated from Puerto Rico to outside New York. Raised in New England–David is now a proud father of two little ones of his own and has been directly involved in over 100,000 square feet of home design and renovation projects over the years in Cambridge, Wellesley, Back Bay, Brookline, Somerville, and throughout the GBA.  

These projects have been featured in local media, including Modern Luxury Boston Common, Remodeling Magazine, Boston Voyager, and The Boston Globe.  

A passionate humanitarian, David and NEDC’s recent caring community work in Boston during Covid has been featured on NBC10, NECN, and Boston25. NEDC was recently awarded a Guild Quality with Distinction award. David and NEDC do ample pro-bono work in the community. 

WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING:

“What stands out in my mind about NEDC is the reliability of the workmanship… and I have great faith in follow-up as well.   I mean the follow-up has been fantastic! 

The quality of work that NEDC does is exceptional–proof of that is that we started with a deck outside and when we needed bathroom renovations we asked David (Supple, CEO of NEDC) back.  In addition to that he also redesigned the front of our house–so he has done work for us on three different occasions.  If we ever had to do anything again we’ll definitely ask them back for the fourth time!”

“I wouldn’t actually trust anybody else with my house!”

David lifts spirits with spaces because he has a unique ability to see where there’s room for improvement and he has a vision how it can be improved to make it more useful and simply make you happy to walk into the space 

He likes to work with light; he likes to work with natural materials, and his vision to improve a space to make it more livable is simple–it’s very unique… 

The advantage of having a Design Build firm versus having an architect or designer and a separate contractor is whatever is being designed is built as it was envisioned. 

There’s going to be no shortcuts, there’s going to be no conflicts, there’s no contractor who comes in and says ‘I can’t do this.’ 

You can be absolutely certain that whatever you had envisioned will at the end be there, and in addition to that the construction process is very smooth because everybody works hand in hand.  There’s no schedules to worry about, and in my experience it’s actually a lot faster than having somebody design it and then bringing in separate people who are trying to fit all the different ideas together. 

“They (NEDC) delivered what they promised and more…

The collaboration process with NEDC is really extraordinary.”

He will never push you into cutting corners and I’ve never heard him say ‘this cannot be done.’ 

His communication style is really unusual–he’s very very transparent and very hands-on. 

It’s a very unusual company. 

The design and build process is smooth–it’s seamless it’s as far as construction goes.  It’s about as pain-free as it gets.

“At the end of the project you can be 100 certain that you’re happy with what they’ve created–there’s absolutely no doubt, and I would never work with anybody else.”

NEDC Client, Chestnut Hill

 

“NEDC did a gut renovation of our house. The process with them was amazing from start to finish. From our first meeting with the president, Dave Supple, who inspected all corners of house and talked about our goals, to the wrap-up of the punch list with the project manager and lead designer, everything went exceedingly well.

The process began with a series of broad design options and price ranges, then settled to one primary design during which we refined all the details and finalize the budget; then we moved onto all the material, appliance and finish selections, which is also done hand-in-hand with NEDC’s designers.

Once construction began, we had a weekly meeting with the project manager to discuss what had been done the prior week and what was coming. This allowed for timely course correction.

The project was completed on time – maybe even a bit ahead of schedule, I don’t remember, despite some COVID permitting setbacks – and at the budget that was set at the end of the design process. We were very happy with NEDC.” 

NEDC Client, Cambridge

“I have nothing but glowing remarks for NEDC. I have worked with many home remodeling firms over the years regarding many small to medium to large remodeling projects and NEDC by far has been the best contractor I have ever dealt with for a host of reasons. 

 First, they really care about their clients and their home. They are good listeners and work really hard to get you the results you’re looking for on your project.  

Second, they don’t nickel and dime you and their work is of the highest quality and at a fair price point.  

Third, the company is well staffed which means their is always multiple individuals connected to your project to answer questions or address needs or concerns. 

 I have had the best experience with NEDC and can guarantee you that you will too!” 

NEDC Client, Boston

 

NEDC REVIEWS ON GUILDQUALITY

NEDC REVIEWS ON HOUZZ

WHAT OUR BOSTON REAL ESTATE NETWORK COLLEAGUES ARE SAYING:  

“I love the concept of Design Build as you bring the architecture and planning under one roof…!

I prefer renovation over new build as I love breathing new life into an older home. This takes vision and a lot of perseverance.

I have had more than 30 years of experience working with Design Build firms. Behind every wall is an unknown story–meaning unexpected repairs you may have to tackle. This is where the value of a strong Design Build firm comes into play. Managing expectations, establishing clear communication channels and expert project and budget management are important steps when interviewing a firm.”

Jamie Grossman, MGS Group

“NEDC did an absolutely phenomenal full bath, powder room, laundry and kitchen in my client’s home!
