Your Lexington, MA Design-Build Contractor for Revolutionary-Era Homes and Mid-Century Renovations

Lexington properties carry structural histories ranging from 18th-century Colonial framing to mid-century modern post-and-beam construction. Design-build keeps architecture, engineering, and construction aligned so every structural condition gets addressed during design, not during construction.

You work with one team from concept through certificate of occupancy. Your architect and builder share the same meetings, so a renovation near Lexington Green or a new build in North Lexington accounts for actual site conditions and your budget from the start.

Your project runs on a fixed-scope contract with a single project manager. We prepare the full permit package and submit it through the OpenGov online portal. Lexington's typical permit timeline runs 20-40 days.

Genesis Construction and Development is a custom home builder that Lexington families choose for new construction on the town's residential parcels. Sites in North Lexington, Five Forks, and along the Massachusetts Avenue corridor offer established neighborhoods with mature landscaping and proximity to town amenities. Each site requires planning for zoning setbacks, stormwater management, and tree preservation bylaws.

You get a custom home designed around your lot's specific conditions and constraints. Architectural direction ranges from Colonial Revival to contemporary design, built to HERS 42-45 efficiency scores and the Massachusetts Stretch Energy Code. Foundation and site work integrate into the project from day one.

Your build moves from site assessment through final inspection over a typical 10-24-month timeline. We coordinate with the Lexington Building Department, Board of Health, and Conservation Commission as a single workflow.

Genesis Construction and Development serves as multifamily home builders for Lexington property owners seeking two-family and multi-unit development. We handle zoning analysis and construction under one contract. Lexington is subject to the MBTA Communities Act (MGL Chapter 40A, Section 3A), which creates by-right multi-family zoning pathways on eligible parcels. East Lexington's proximity to the Alewife transit corridor and the town's school district reputation position certain parcels for multi-unit development.

You get a builder-led team handling design, MEP coordination, structural engineering, and construction under one contract. Fixed-scope budgets lock your project costs before groundbreaking, giving your underwriting the predictability it requires.

Your project moves through the Lexington Building Department and Planning Board as a coordinated permit package. We handle zoning analysis, site plan review, and inspections to keep your capital aligned with your build schedule.

Home renovations in Lexington address a housing stock spanning Colonial Revival, Federal, ranch, split-level, and mid-century modern homes. Properties near Lexington Green and Massachusetts Avenue carry period details worth preserving. Ranches and split-levels from the 1950s-70s share common conditions: outdated kitchens, 100-amp electrical service, original HVAC systems, and floor plans designed before open-concept living became standard.

You get a builder who assesses your home's framing, systems, and layout before locking a design direction. Kitchen and bath modernization, open-concept conversions, energy code upgrades, and systems replacements work within the existing character while meeting current Massachusetts building standards.

Your renovation runs on measured site conditions and a fixed-scope contract. We coordinate with the Lexington Building Department (781-698-4530) and submit requests for every required inspection through the OpenGov portal.

Home additions in Lexington let families expand while staying in the Lexington Public Schools district. Common projects include rear additions on Colonial Revival homes, second-story builds on ranch and split-level structures, and detached accessory dwelling units on lots with sufficient setback from property lines.

You get an addition designed to match the original home's roofline, siding, and proportions. Mid-century homes require particular attention to original design intent and material compatibility. The Massachusetts ADU law allows accessory units up to 900 sqft or 50% of the primary home. We verify your parcel's specific setback rules with the Lexington Building Department before design begins.

Your typical addition project runs 4-6 months from permit issuance to final inspection. We submit plans to the Lexington Building Department (781-698-4530) via the OpenGov portal and manage inspections through completion.
