By Design Construction

By Design Construction is a Canton, MA firm that builds and develops residential, commercial, and medical-office space — the kind of company a hospital system or a developer calls when a building needs to go from plan to occupancy, not a shop most homeowners would hire for a single-room job. The company's own site says it has roughly 20 years in the building business, is run by principal Charles A. Giacchetto, and points to work spanning medical practice buildouts, hotel renovations, and residential subdivisions. In 2016, trade coverage of the Canton Ice House development named By Design Construction as general contractor on that project, working alongside architect Pando Associates and building group BARNES — a real, if now nearly a decade old, credit on a sizable local build. There's no customer-review trail here to check day-to-day work against — no Google, Yelp, or BBB reviews turned up — and the Massachusetts and Rhode Island builder's license Giacchetto claims hasn't been checked against either state's registry. Anyone considering By Design Construction should ask directly about current licensing and recent references, since the public record right now amounts to the company's own account plus that one older press mention.
