NEDC BOSTON – HOW AND WHY WE HELP

December 9, 2022

 HOW AND WHY WE HELP

Boston has been my home for nearly two decades.  I attended Tufts, met my North Shore wife here and have raised my two little children in this vibrant, inspirational, innovative and incredibly real city.  I have met many brilliant and dynamic individuals who have inspired me to think broadly, envision higher, and to reach and do bigger.

Boston is a city which seems to truly touch all corners of the world.  Many great and brilliant minds come here and call Boston home. Many of these visionaries are now clients of ours. I like to think we design and craft the homes for those changing the world.

I founded NEDC nearly 20 years ago with the simple vision of bringing truth to the industry—in doing so restoring the simplicity of client experience in the creation of their ideal homes, and in doing so rekindling the innate joy, aesthetic and creativity inherent in the creation of the built environment.

 

THE JOY OF CREATING 

We started initially with me and one other.  Today we are a vibrant group of nearly 20 – a collection of architects, interior designers and master builders.  A true team.  Utterly professional and passionate about what we do—and I am very proud of them.  Sustainable luxury aesthetics, integrity and service are the creative pulse of NEDC.

In doing so, we seek to help and service our Boston Community as much as we possibly can.  Some of these actions are seen.  Many are not.  Visibility is not the point—the genuine desire to help and the wellbeing of our city residents is. I’m proud of my team and grateful for their humanity, care and for being genuinely good people.  I wanted to express my thanks here, as well as to all of our trade partners, clients and friends.

 

A Few Examples:

 

WAYLAND, MASS – ROOM TO DREAM FOUNDATION 

 

THE G – CODE HOUSE 

  

 

SANITIZATION STATIONS DURING COVID 

 

 

HELPING LOCAL BUSINESS – URBAN GRAPE & DARTMOUTH VISION

 

 

NINE TAILORS & ASSISTED LIVING FACILITIES

 

 

Thank you again to my team and the wonderful residents of this vibrant and powerful city.  It is a joy to have you as clients and friends! If we can help in any way, please reach out. Have a wonderful Holiday Season! 

Love, 

David Muniz Supple and all of NEDC

DO I NEED AN ARCHITECT TO REMODEL MY BOSTON HOME?

WHAT IS ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN BUILD? 

 

ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN-BUILD vs DESIGN-BID-BUILD

 

There are two primary approaches to a major home design and remodel. While this can be made very complex as a subject, the natural creative process is fundamentally simple. I will cover both here: 

Design-Bid-Build is the process that has been introduced over the past 150 years or so whereby you as the client directly hire an architect to draft plans and design your project — to then have it bid out to multiple contractors seeking to win the bid and perform the project. This approach has been generalized as mainstream over the past decades and sold to homeowners, often creating client stress and potential loss of both client funds and time. This approach has many liabilities for the client due in no small part to the fragmented spheres of responsibilities which this system and method creates. 

There is no single person or entity fully accountable to the client for the entire project’s success. 

This single factor alone can create a host of problems for the client. 

By default the client is ultimately responsible for both Architect and Builder as well as the ultimate success of the project. Thus one can have impractical and expensive design work, impractical planning, numerous change orders, shoddy craftsmanship, and projects which are off timeline and over budget. In the end, the client can be left damaged. You or a family member or friend may have experienced this in the past. We have many clients come to us after poor experiences with this approach. 

Architectural Design-Build (also Design Build) is the natural approach to creation of the built environment and has been used for thousands of years to create many of the beautiful structures of earth. Architectural Design Build is the route of choice if one desires to save on time and money, reduce stress, and eliminate a fragmented sense of project responsibility in the people working for you. 

Architectural Design Build is a model that stresses single-source accountability with the creative design, planning, and remodel executed start to finish by one firm. 

Architectural Design-Build in Boston is currently being turned to by professionals, families, and individuals as the cutting edge of efficiency, aesthetics, practicality, and accountability when it comes to designing and remodeling a home. This approach packages architectural design and interior design services with artisan-level building and remodeling services. This natural synthesis makes for a simple, efficient, and accountable creative process followed by a streamlined and responsible build phase, reducing cost, time of execution, and client stress throughout. With the Architectural Design Build approach, the client is dealing solely with one fully accountable firm. 

New England Design and Construction specializes in Architectural Design Build with a specific focus on sustainable luxury homes. We are extremely mindful of environmental impact and passionate about project efficiency and client comfort. 

 

 

"Overall, we received excellent value for our money from New England Design & Construction. They worked within our budget, stayed on the agreed time schedule and provided good quality work. On a daily basis, they were reasonable about daily clean up and construction noise, friendly to my children, and good about communicating what would be happening each week. Two particular highlights include bringing to our attention a serious safety issue from work done by a previous owner and providing a truly innovative design for getting a stairway into a difficult space. We have already recommended NEDC to several friends for future construction needs."

NEDC is a great choice for a busy working professional.  They accommodated my schedule for design appointments and took the time to understand my goals.  I felt very comfortable with the lead carpenter and subcontractors and appreciated their focus on minimizing disruption to my condo unit and building.  Additionally, their focus on client satisfaction/feedback and continuous improvement is refreshing.  Although renovating is not always fun, NEDC helps to make it worth the time, effort, and cost.
