Genesis Construction and Development Working in Weston
Genesis Construction and Development is a builder-led general contractor delivering integrated design-build services to homeowners across Weston, 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.
Weston's housing stock includes estate homes on multi-acre lots, mid-century moderns valued for their architectural character, and contemporary colonials built from the 1980s forward. Conservation land borders many residential parcels. The town's school district and proximity to Route 128 and the Massachusetts Turnpike drive demand from families seeking custom-quality homes. That context requires a builder experienced with high-specification construction, conservation-sensitive site work, and the expectations that come with Weston properties.
Genesis Construction and Development holds 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.

Construction and Renovation Services for Weston Properties
Weston's estate-scale lots, conservation restrictions, mid-century modern homes, and high-specification construction standards create a market where every project demands precision in both design and execution. We deliver five categories of work here, each under a single contract with a single team.
Design-Build Contractor in Weston, MA
Weston properties range from mid-century moderns with post-and-beam framing to estate colonials with additions spanning multiple decades. 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 on Highland Street or a new build near Silver 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 coordinate with the Weston Building Department (781-786-5066). We handle plan reviews and inspection scheduling through completion.

Custom Home Builder in Weston, MA
Genesis Construction and Development is a custom home builder that Weston families choose for new construction on the town's residential parcels. Sites along Glen Road, Highland Street, and Chestnut Street, as well as near Case Estates, offer wooded settings with conservation buffers, mature tree canopy, and lot sizes that support architecturally significant homes. Each site requires planning for septic systems, stormwater management, and conservation setbacks.
You get a custom home designed around your lot's specific conditions and constraints. Architectural direction ranges from contemporary colonial to modern design, built to HERS 42-45 efficiency scores and the Massachusetts Stretch Energy Code. Septic design and conservation buffers integrate 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 Weston Building Department, Board of Health, and Conservation Commission as a single workflow.

Multifamily Home Builders in Weston, MA
Genesis Construction and Development serves as multifamily home builders for Weston property owners pursuing multi-unit development. Weston 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 and Route 128 access position certain parcels for multi-unit development where zoning allows.
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 Weston 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 Weston, MA
Home renovations in Weston address a housing stock that includes estate colonials, mid-century moderns, and contemporary homes built to high original specifications. Mid-century moderns carry distinct structural conditions: post-and-beam framing, flat or low-slope roofing, floor-to-ceiling glazing, and mechanical systems designed for a different era of energy performance.
You get a builder who assesses your home's framing, systems, and layout before locking a design direction. Kitchen and bath modernization, energy code upgrades, roof system replacements, and open-concept conversions work within your home's architectural character while meeting current Massachusetts building standards.
Your renovation runs on measured site conditions and a fixed-scope contract. We coordinate with the Weston Building Department (781-786-5066) for every required inspection.

Home Additions and Expansions in Weston, MA
Home additions in Weston let families expand while staying in the Weston Public Schools district. Common projects include rear additions on estate colonials, second-story builds on ranch-era structures, and detached accessory dwelling units on lots with sufficient setback from conservation boundaries.
You get an addition designed to match the original home's massing, roofline, and proportions. Mid-century moderns require particular attention to original design language and material palette. 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 Weston Building Department before design begins.
Your typical addition project runs 4-6 months from permit issuance to final inspection. We submit plans to the Weston Building Department (781-786-5066) and manage every inspection through completion.
