Verified record
By Design Construction Inc. is a Bedford-area Massachusetts builder and developer. Its website says the company was founded in 1989, and identifies Charles A. Giacchetto as founder and principal; it describes medical, commercial, and residential construction, development, and management work across the region. A High-Profile report identifies By Design as the general contractor for the Canton Ice House project, while the company website lists medical offices, hotels, restaurants, retail, subdivisions, and townhome communities among its work. The company says its principal has more than 25 years in real-estate experience, and a third-party business page describes more than 20 years in construction. Before booking, confirm the current status of the project type, licensing, and who will manage the work. The Massachusetts HIC record in the registry is marked expired, so a current license position should be checked directly. OSHA reporting also shows a current penalty of $1,500; the supplied page does not provide enough context to assess the matter. By Design appears best suited to clients seeking a larger development, commercial, medical, or substantial residential build. Ask for current references, a written scope, and confirmation of active credentials before signing.
