# Absolute Building Consultants Inc. **Trade:** General Contractor / Remodeling · **Address:** 114 Hedges Pond Rd, Plymouth, MA 02360, USA · **Phone:** (508) 833-1111 · **Website:** http://www.absolutebuildingconsultants.com/ · **Languages:** English **Rating: 4.0/5** (medium confidence) — from 14 reviews across 4 sources. A 0–5 star rating built from what customers and the public say (every review and mention weighted by where it was posted, how old, how detailed and how credible it is, shrunk toward a 3.5★ baseline when evidence is thin) plus what the record shows (Reddit recommendations or warnings, a registry-verified licence, how recently they were reviewed, customer work photos, BBB grade, negative news, a revoked licence). Positive record counts only as far as the reviews have earned it; penalties count in full. Confidence describes how much weighted evidence stands behind the number, never the number itself: low when fewer than about five normal reviews' worth of weight (or mentions only) support it, medium up to about twenty, high beyond that across at least two sources. An operator flag for a suspicious review pattern caps a rating at 3.5★ and marks it low. 100% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 1 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read Absolute Building Consultants is a Plymouth custom home builder that Michael Mulligan founded in 2008, continuing a family building tradition now into a fourth generation with his son Shane working alongside him. The reviews describe a genuinely family-run operation -- Michael, Shane and Gina come up by name across nearly every account, not as a marketing line but because homeowners dealt with the same few people start to finish. What stands out across the record is how completely the company handles a build. In a 2025 review, one homeowner described ABC managing everything soup to nuts -- survey, permits, demolition, septic, the build itself, landscaping -- with the schedule set at the start and held to it: demolition in October, an occupancy permit by April, no delays. Other reviewers echo the same theme from different angles: prompt return calls before signing on, clear communication and quick answers to questions during construction, and change orders and upgrades that were fairly priced rather than used to pad the bill. In a 2023 review, a family moving from Texas said they built sight-unseen and never doubted the project was progressing, crediting the team for helping rein in design ideas that would have blown the budget. Across 14 Google reviews from 2023 through mid-2026, every one is five stars, and the Better Business Bureau gives the company an A+ letter grade, though the BBB profile notes the business isn't formally accredited and lists it as roughly 10 years old -- a bit shorter than the 18 years the company's own site claims since its 2008 founding. Reviewers consistently point to quality craftsmanship and attentive service, from a single family building one dream home to a real estate agent whose clients needed a fast turnaround before the holidays and got one. There's no complaint in the record to weigh against that. Before signing on, it's worth confirming current lead times and how a project timeline would work for your specific lot and design, since these reviews mostly describe ground-up custom builds rather than renovations. **Strengths:** - On-time delivery — quality workmanship, met deadlines - Family-owned — multi-generation pride in detail - Clear communication — responsive throughout the build - Full-service builds — survey through occupancy permit - Fair change orders — upfront, transparent pricing **Where sources disagree:** - BBB lists the business as roughly 10 years old, while the company's own site says it was founded in 2008 (about 18 years) as a multi-generation family business. ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Quality workmanship delivered on schedule _(confidence: high)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT2pKUFVVNU5TazV2Ym5wM1FtaEpVRE5pYzBaQk9GRRAB!2m1!1s0x0:0x4978d5fc7e2f06c!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOjJPUU5NSk5vbnp3QmhJUDNic0ZBOFE%7C%7C?hl=en) — “5★ Thanks to Mike Mulligan and his group for making our dream come true!
