BuildX is a Hanover-based design-build outfit run by Buz Artiano that's become a go-to name for accessory dwelling units on the South Shore, though its range runs well past ADUs — full custom-home rebuilds, disaster restoration, and structural repairs all show up in its record. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is registry-verified active, and its Better Business Bureau profile is accredited with an A+ grade. The most striking job on file: in a 2023 review, a homeowner described BuildX demolishing and rebuilding their entire house after it was destroyed by an August 2022 fire, finishing in about eight months and treating the reconstruction like a full custom build, complete with weekly planning meetings so nothing got missed. A separate 2023 review described a different large job — restoring all three floors of a home after a major insurance claim for water damage, with the family staying in residence throughout and the project finishing before its target date. The everyday work is just as detailed. A review from this July describes BuildX adding a deck and a new mudroom door onto a home mid-ADU-build, and one from March describes a 900-square-foot ADU built in Kingston for a customer's parents. In a January 2026 review, a family described an ADU in Marshfield built around a daughter's autoimmune needs, with cleanliness and safety built into the design. A separate 2025 review described a different family hiring BuildX to build the first ADU in Plymouth for an autistic brother-in-law, completed in just a few months. In a 2024 review, a customer described BuildX being called in after a different contractor damaged their mother's garage and allegedly took her money — BuildX repaired the actual damage at what the reviewer called a fair price. In a 2025 review, a customer described BuildX installing a structural LVL beam to fix a sagging garage floor, carefully controlling the jacking process so no plaster cracked during the leveling. Several reviews specifically credit named project managers — Kevin Healey, Justin, Stevie — for staying in daily contact by text and phone. Trade partners show up in the record too: in 2025 reviews, an insulation subcontractor and a separate contractor who'd worked alongside BuildX on multiple jobs both describe it as well organized and easy to coordinate with — the kind of endorsement that's harder to fake than a homeowner testimonial. BuildX looks like a strong fit for anyone planning an ADU, a full rebuild, or a project that needs real project-management muscle — permits, subcontractor coordination, disaster restoration — rather than a single trade.
“I reached out to Millhawk, Buildx, and MA Tiny Homes.”
“We had a tree fall on our house during a terrible storm, and Build X was an absolute godsend. They turned what could have been a nightmare into a smooth and stress-free experience”
BuildX's craftsmanship is outstanding. They were already building our ADU, and we decided to have them add a deck to the back of our main house and replace our mudroom door as well. Everything turned out beautifully. The quality of the work and materials is top-notch, and we were amazed at how quickly they completed the project without sacrificing attention to detail. We couldn't be happier and are looking forward to spending the rest of the summer enjoying our new outdoor space.
My wife and I live in an ADU which BuildX constructed, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. Throughout the build process, BuildX was responsive, efficient, and accommodating. Our home was customized to fit our personal needs using high quality materials, and the result was a beautiful 900 sq. ft. home. We were so impressed by how kind and professional the BuildX team is, and we would highly recommend BuildX to anyone looking to build an ADU.
My wife and I have had the opportunity to visit four of the BuildX ADU homes and what stands out with all of them is the exceptional quality of work. No doubt that quality is achieved with the BuildX team coming together from sales to the final product. And having owners of the ADU on site to talk with prospective clients is a nice touch, shows pride in ownership and their willingness to share their experiences with the project certainly helped my wife and I make our decision to move forward with our own ADU. Well done BuildX. A shout out to John Perry, BuildX Client Experience Guide and Veteran for always making us feel welcomed at each site we visited. Paul & MaryAnn Bristol, RI
