Structures Building Inc. is a Sandwich, Massachusetts, custom home builder run by owner Chris Dougherty since the company's 2009 incorporation, doing new construction, additions, kitchen and bath remodels and custom interior woodwork across Cape Cod. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is verified active, and it carries an A+ BBB rating. The written record, running from 2014 to 2023, is built on full-scope projects rather than small jobs. In a 2015 review, a customer described Dougherty and his team rebuilding a 'little beach house' into a home three times its original size, calling both the design and construction 'phenomenal' and noting they stayed on schedule throughout. In a 2023 review, a customer covered a large teardown-and-new-build completed on time despite Covid-era supply-chain and labor disruption, saying that after working with 'many other builders over the years,' this was their best experience yet. A 2020 letter from an out-of-state family credited the team's attention to detail and communication building their vacation home from 700 miles away. The company has design-world recognition to back the reviews: Houzz lists a 2018 BRICC Gold Award for a new kitchen and a 2019 Sandwich Historical Preservation Award. A 2022 Cape Cod Times piece on a Sandwich home sale described a 'spectacular and complete renovation' that brought the house 'down to the studs' after its 2012 purchase. Ratings are strong and consistent — 5.0 stars on both Google (9 ratings) and Houzz (7 ratings) — with recurring praise for keeping big projects on schedule and coordinating subcontractors well. Given the scope of the work on record — teardowns, full rebuilds, custom new construction — it's worth confirming that a smaller project fits Structures' typical scale before reaching out.
“purchased the home in 2012 and embarked on a spectacular and complete renovation project. "They really brought it down to the studs," said Harrison.”
Chris did an amazing job on a very large tear down/new build for us. He had to manage through supply chain and labor issues related to Covid and still delivered the house on time. His work with subs was outstanding and I'd highly recommend him to anyone. Having worked with many other builders over the years, this was by far the best experience we ever had.
There are not enough words to describe how much we loved working with this company, and Chris in particular!! He is phenomenal, and we are delighted with the results!
Chris built our new home in Osterville and it was a great experience!! We love him and all of his subs! They did a fabulous job!!!
August 18, 2020 Dear Chris, Thank you so much for the wonderful job you did building our house. You and your team are outstanding! Thanks to your expertise and attention to detail we have had so many positive comments about both the quality of the construction and the diligence of your team. Your creative and technical input was valued throughout the process and your recommended vendors and subcontractors were a pleasure to deal with. Thanks to your strong communication skills, even though we live 700 miles away you made the building of our dream vacation home a pleasure. Our scheduled weekly phone calls and photos kept us up to date with the project and were so helpful. Your timely billing made the financial component clear and manageable. Not to be overlooked, you got us into our house on time despite the COVID-19 pandemic!!! Please know how much we appreciate your professionalism and all you have done to make this project possible. Many thanks, Bill/Jayne Hasler Mashpee, MA
Chris Dougherty and Structures Inc. rebuilt my little beach house into a gorgeous home, tripling the size. The design of the house is gorgeous and the job Structures did in the construction was phenomenal. They stayed on schedule throughout the process, were a pleasure to work with, and maintained the highest standards of quality and professionalism. I would strongly recommend Structures to anyone wanting to build or remodel a house. Chris Dougherty is extremely creative, and adds all sorts of great ideas and beautiful details to the house that make it look very elegant. He worked with me extensively on the design details and the budget for construction, and stayed within the budget throughout. We met on a regular basis and talked on the phone and e-mailed frequently, so I always felt in touch with him and part of the process. I have lived in the house for about 9 months now, and it is absolutely wonderful. Everything is of the highest quality. My neighbors were also very pleased with Structures Inc. during the 8 month construction project. The worksite was always kept very neat, and Chris and all of the workers were extremely respectful of the neighbors. I could not be more satisfied with the work that Chris and Structures did on my now beautiful home. Dianne S. Burden East Sandwich, MA
