How Genesis Construction and Development Works in Sudbury
Genesis Construction and Development is a builder-led general contractor delivering integrated design-build services to homeowners across Sudbury, Massachusetts, and the MetroWest / Concord Area region.
Three principals direct every project. Joe Fodera oversees field operations with more than 70,000 hours of hands-on construction experience. Guy Manganiello manages business development and client relationships. Lou Schena directs finance and operations.
Sudbury's housing stock centers on Colonial Revivals, Cape Cods, and ranches built from the 1950s through the 1990s, with older homes along Old Post Road and the Town Center Historic District. The town's strong school district and proximity to Route 20 and Route 117 drive steady residential demand. That context requires a builder who understands mid-century framing, aging systems, and the difference between a cosmetic refresh and a structural renovation.
Genesis Construction and Development holds a Massachusetts General Contractor License CS-000947, maintains BBB accreditation, and operates on a fixed-scope budgeting model with single-point accountability from concept through completion.

What We Build and Renovate for Sudbury Homeowners
Sudbury's mix of Colonial Revivals, Cape Cods, ranches, and historic properties along Old Post Road creates a market where renovation and new construction both require builders who read structural conditions before drawing plans. We deliver five categories of work here, each under a single contract with a single team.
Design-Build Contractor in Sudbury, MA
Sudbury properties range from 1950s ranches with original plumbing and electrical to Colonial Revivals with additions built across multiple decades. Design-build keeps architecture, engineering, and construction aligned so every structural layer gets addressed during design, not during demolition.
You work with one team from concept through certificate of occupancy. Your architect and builder share the same meetings, so a renovation in Sudbury Center or a new build near Willis Hill 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. Sudbury's Building Department (978-440-5461) processes standard applications on a typical municipal timeline.

Custom Home Builder in Sudbury, MA
Genesis Construction and Development is a custom home builder that Sudbury families choose for new construction on the town's residential parcels. Sites near Pantry Brook, Willis Hill, and North Sudbury offer wooded settings with conservation land, mature tree canopy, and lot sizes that support custom floor plans. Each site requires planning for septic systems, stormwater management, and wetland setbacks.
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. Septic design and conservation buffers are integrated into the project from day one.
Your build moves from site assessment through final inspection on a typical 10-24 month timeline. We coordinate with the Sudbury Building Department, Board of Health, and Conservation Commission as a single workflow.

Multifamily Home Builders in Sudbury, MA
Genesis Construction and Development serves as multifamily home builders for Sudbury property owners pursuing multi-unit development. Sudbury is subject to the MBTA Communities Act (MGL Chapter 40A, Section 3A), which creates by-right multi-family zoning pathways on eligible parcels. The town's school district reputation and Route 20 access make it attractive for small multi-unit investment.
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 Sudbury 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 and Remodeling in Sudbury, MA
Home renovations in Sudbury address a housing stock built primarily between the 1950s and 1990s. Colonial Revivals, Cape Cods, and ranches of this era share common conditions: galvanized plumbing, 100-amp electrical panels, single-pane windows, original HVAC equipment, 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 your existing footprint while meeting current Massachusetts building standards.
Your renovation runs on measured site conditions and a fixed-scope contract. We coordinate with the Sudbury Building Department (978-440-5461) and submit through the OpenGov portal for every required inspection.

Home Additions and Expansions in Sudbury, MA
Home additions in Sudbury let families expand while staying in the Sudbury Public Schools and Lincoln-Sudbury Regional School District. Common projects include second-story additions on ranch homes, rear expansions on Cape Cods and Colonial Revivals, and detached accessory dwelling units on lots with sufficient setback.
You get an addition designed to match the original home's roofline, siding, and proportions. The Massachusetts ADU law allows accessory units up to 900 sqft or 50% of the primary home. We verify your parcel's specific setback and conservation rules with the Sudbury Building Department before design begins.
Your typical addition project runs 4-6 months from permit issuance to final inspection. We submit plans to the Sudbury Building Department (978-440-5461) via the OpenGov portal and manage inspections through completion.

Lou Schena oversees finance and operations, bringing the systems discipline that scaled the company from $20M to $115M.
Three principals, one company, zero translation layers between the people who plan your project and the people who build it.
