BB&R Design-Build

What BB&R Design-Build does

BB&R Design-Build is a privately held, family-owned residential design-build remodeling firm founded in 2004 by Kevin Barnes in Worcester, Massachusetts. The company operates an integrated design-build model that consolidates architecture, interior design, cabinetry design, and construction management under a single point of accountability, addressing the fragmentation homeowners typically face when coordinating separate designers and contractors. Its service portfolio covers kitchen remodels, bathroom remodels, living and family room remodels, mudroom and laundry remodels, home additions, and dedicated work/play spaces, with a standalone cabinet design and supply offering layered on top. Preferred cabinetry partnerships include Dura Supreme, Custom Wood Products, Holiday Kitchens, and RiverRun Cabinetry, spanning premium to budget tiers.

The firm targets mid-market to high-end residential homeowners in Central Massachusetts and parts of Rhode Island, covering approximately 40+ communities from Wellesley to Worcester. Its go-to-market is consultative and relationship-driven, anchored on a "Listen-Design-Build" process with "Schedule a call" calls-to-action throughout the website, supplemented by a multi-channel digital presence (Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Houzz, YouTube, blog, newsletter) and location-specific SEO landing pages. Revenue is generated through project-based professional-services fees with custom quote-based pricing; no standard pricing tiers are publicly disclosed. The team consists of 1-10 employees, led by Kevin Barnes (Founder-President), Jane Barnes (Lead Interior Designer), and Casey Delia (Architectural-Cabinetry Designer), with active hiring for Lead and Assistant Carpenters signaling capacity expansion.

BB&R holds industry credentials including NARI CotY Awards, Certified Professional NARI CKBR designation, GuildQuality membership, Pro-NE Awards, and 4x Best of Houzz recognition, alongside a 4.9/5 Houzz rating. It is a member of SEN Design Group, a national network of design-build remodelers. The company has no disclosed external funding, no parent company, and operates as an independent going concern with founders retaining full ownership. It is registered under three trade names: BB&R Design-Build, BarnesBuilding, and Jane Barnes Interiors, headquartered at 99 Prescott St, Suite 101, Worcester, MA.
