SHAKE architecture: construction LLC

SHAKE is a design-build firm on Beacon Hill that does both halves of the job: the architecture and the construction. Its Houzz listing puts typical projects between $200,000 and $2.5 million — new builds, gut renovations and large additions rather than small repairs. The published work spans a Mattapan bungalow, a Winchester colonial remodel and addition, a Charlestown bathroom, a Somerville renovation near Union Square, a Jamaica Plain remodel and a passive house in Old Lyme, Connecticut. Six project sets in all, covering architectural design, drawings and 3D rendering through demolition, remodeling and new construction. What is published about the firm at this point is its own listing, so treat the fit rather than any track record as what you can judge from here. If your project is an architect-led renovation or addition in the Boston area at that budget, ask for two or three completed projects and the owners' contact details, and confirm who holds the construction supervisor licence and HIC registration for the build side.
