The Challenge

11 Years of "Making It Work"

After more than a decade in their home, this Beverly family was ready to fix the layout that had frustrated them since day one.

The Kitchen

"You couldn't open the oven at the same time as the fridge. They would smash into each other. It was unbelievable."

Kitchen interior featuring wooden cabinets, granite countertops, and a window with a view, illustrating the outdated design before remodeling by Bradford Construction Management.
The Wall

"There was a huge wall that blocked off the whole kitchen. I'd be cooking and my husband couldn't see me. I'd have to peek my head around the corner."

Dining room featuring a long table with a white tablecloth, wooden chairs, a chandelier, and large windows with sheer curtains, showcasing natural light and a view of the outdoors, reflecting the first-floor renovation project in Beverly, MA.
The Dining Room

"Once you sat down, you were there for the night. If someone needed to leave, everyone had to get up."

Staircase leading to upper level, featuring wooden railings, decorative wall art, and a chandelier, showcasing the renovated interior design of a Beverly home.
The Staircase

"All the light from the skylight didn't go anywhere. There were walls blocking everything."

The Vision

Designed Entirely In-House

This wasn't a project that needed to be sent out. Our team designed every detail, from the floor plan reconfiguration to Rick's hand-drawn staircase plans.

The challenge: removing a load-bearing wall while rerouting all the plumbing that ran through it. The solution required walls positioned specifically to accommodate pipes from upstairs, turning an engineering problem into a design opportunity.

Design-Build Advantage When design and construction are under one roof, problems become opportunities. No back-and-forth between architects and builders, just solutions.
