MVA Design/Build puts design and construction under one roof. The company describes itself as a residential and commercial general contractor that now offers full construction services for projects it designs in house. A post on thebberkshires.com says Mike Valenti's team can handle architectural drawings, permits and floor plans. A 2025 customer said MVA designed and constructed their new home in the Berkshires, after they had first worked with another local builder who didn't quite "get us." That 2025 customer said MVA had "great relationships with local building inspectors and conservation committees" in an area of strict building codes and environmental restrictions. A 2022 customer praised the firm's renovations of older buildings and called it a pillar of Great Barrington. A 2022 reviewer described it as an architecture design business and advised asking for Michael Valenti.
“Mike Valenti’s team can handle everything: architectural drawings, permits, floor plans. We do a lot of design and collaboration together, where they build the project and I do the daily site visits to update the client.”
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from MVA Design/Build. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.

MVA designed and constructed our new home in the Berkshires, and we've been thrilled with our experience. We came to MVA after working with another local builder who didn't quite "get us," and we couldn't be happier with our decision to move forward with MVA instead. The entire MVA team is creative, hard-working, ethical, and they actually LISTEN to their clients. They've demonstrated their ability to successfully work across many design vernaculars - from beautiful renovations of centuries-old colonials, to construction of inspiring new contemporaries - which is a rare capacity in the custom-build space. The trades they brought to our project have all been wonderful, and they've got great relationships with local building inspectors and conservation committees, which is extremely critical in this area where strict building codes & environmental restrictions rule the day on every building project. MVA has earned our highest recommendation!
They have THE nicest office and staff. Very helpful, easy to work with, a pillar of Great Barrington. The renovations of older buildings have been incredible.
Very professional Architecture Design business. I highly recommend them for your building objectives. Ask for Michael Valenti.
