In a September 2019 Houzz review, a client who was living in London while building in Vermont described Birdseye bringing a basic 'Modern Barn' concept to life, then contracting with the construction side of the business as well. The Richmond company describes itself on BuildZoom as an architecture and building company established in 1984, and on Houzz as an architecture studio specializing in custom residential design. Houzz lists AIAVT awards from 2004 through 2015. In a June 2014 Houzz review, a client described a lakefront home at Shelburne Point designed by architect Brian Mac and built by a team of craftsmen from Birdseye Building. In a November 2013 Houzz review, a farm client wrote of three projects since 2007 — a storage barn turned guest house, a design/build main house, barns and equipment sheds, a processing pavilion and major sitework including two ponds, a well, irrigation and a septic mound — and said Birdseye followed up after each project. A July 2013 Houzz reviewer and their husband renovated 3 homes, a cottage and built a barn with Birdseye Building Company, citing punctual contracting and accurate invoicing. In November 2013 a Houzz reviewer wrote that Birdseye designed a restaurant space in a 150 year old building in downtown Burlington. In July 2023 an r/vermont commenter wrote that they had worked with Birdseye on multi million dollar houses and called the company "cream of the crop." In January 2026 one r/vermont commenter called Silver Maple and Birdseye high end builders for whom "reasonable price is not an option"; another commenter the same day recommended both for "very reasonable prices." BuildZoom lists Vermont architect licence 003.0002166 for the company. Houzz shows 5.0 stars from 7 ratings, Google 4.6 from 11, and the BBB grade is A+.
“Silver Maple and Birdseye are high end builders. Reasonable price is not an option. Both are amazing as far as craftsmanship is concerned, but affordable for anyone with average income, not so much.”
“Try Silver Maple or Birdseye. Great builders and very reasonable prices. They serve Addison County”
“Birdseye”
“Birdseye is cream of the crop. I have worked with them on multi million dollar houses. They do amazing work and seem to treat their employees well. They are no doubt the best.”
“Right now I have my eye on this company called Birdseye. Looks like they do a lot of their own design and building.”
“Birdseye Design integrates Bank Barn house into Vermont hillside”
“Vermont Business Magazine The American Institute of Architects Vermont Chapter (AIAVT) honored Richmond-based Birdse”
“Recently, Richmond, Vermont–based design firm Birdseye updated”
Jaime great service
Stunning architecture!
Great Company
Appreciate the assistance and working with needs. I have updated the review to reflect a good business practices. Thank you
Birdseye has been amazing from start to finish. The project began 2.5 years ago, we were living in London and building in Vermont, we wanted a Vermont Architectural Firm and discovered Birdseye. We had a basic concept of a 'Modern Barn' they brought the concept to life brilliantly. It was an amazingly collaborative process, dozens of decisions throughout the building phase. They were respectful and accommodating when we felt strongly about something but we could also count on them to give their professional perspective if they disagreed. The project is now complete, I would recommend Birdseye without hesitation. This is not the only amazing house they have designed but you really sensed their professional pride and excitement in what they do. Also, they are really super people to work with and we enjoyed the engagement in every step of the process. The second best decision we made was to contract with their construction side of the business, equally as amazing!
