ADU Construction (Accessory Dwelling Units)
Massachusetts's ADU law has created major opportunities for homeowners. BCM builds garage conversion ADUs and detached new-build ADUs, handling zoning, permitting, design, and construction under one roof. Whether you want rental income, a multi-generational suite, or a dedicated guest space, we make the process clear and manageable.

Home Renovations
From single-room refreshes to whole-home renovations, BCM brings the same project management rigor to every renovation as it does to new construction. That means no scope creep, no disappearing subcontractors, and no mystery invoices at the end. We handle kitchen remodels, bathroom renovations, basement finishes, and full interior transformations across the North Shore.

Custom Homes
Building a custom home is the most complex construction project most people will ever undertake. BCM's design-build model simplifies it - one team manages design, engineering, permitting, and construction, so nothing falls through the cracks between your architect and your builder. We build fully custom homes across Haverhill and the greater North Shore with the same accountability we bring to every project.

Kitchen & Bathroom Remodels
Kitchen and bath remodels rank among the highest-ROI home improvement projects - and among the most disruptive if managed poorly. BCM coordinates design, demolition, plumbing, electrical, tile, cabinetry, and finishing as a single integrated project, not a relay race between separate contractors. The result: a remodel that finishes on time and delivers what was promised.

Most residential contractors run jobs loosely - verbal agreements, shifting timelines, inconsistent communication. BCM was built differently. Founder Rick White spent his career managing commercial construction at the highest level: data centers, large-scale facilities, and projects where schedule, budget, and accountability weren't optional. When he launched Bradford Construction Management, he brought that same discipline into the residential market.
