New England Design & Construction

What New England Design & Construction does

New England Design & Construction (NEDC) is a privately-held, founder-led design-build firm headquartered in Lexington, Massachusetts, serving affluent homeowners across the Greater Boston area within the Route 128 radius. Founded in 2005 and incorporated in 2006 by David Muñiz Supple, a Tufts-trained architect, the firm operates with approximately 25 staff including licensed architects, designers, project managers, and a CFO. NEDC delivers integrated architectural design and construction services under a single roof, eliminating the traditional split between architect and general contractor.

Its core offering is a proprietary 8-step design-build process that runs from a complimentary in-home evaluation through pre-design laser scanning, schematic design with VR walkthroughs via Oculus headsets, fixed-budget construction, weekly on-site project manager meetings, and a 5-year warranty. The firm uses millimeter-precise laser scanning and high-resolution 3D rendering as differentiators, and reports an average change order rate under 3% versus an industry norm of 11-20%. Service lines include whole-home remodels, kitchen and bathroom remodels, historic home renovations, home additions, built-ins and storage, bedroom remodels, and basement/attic conversions, with typical project values ranging from $500,000 to $1M+ and premium projects reaching $3M+ when exterior renovations and additions are included.

NEDC runs a direct-to-consumer enterprise field sales model targeting high-net-worth homeowners, supported by content marketing (a free Boston Remodeling Cost Guide), PR features in Modern Luxury Interiors and Boston Magazine, and reputation platforms including GuildQuality and Houzz. Pricing is project-based and not publicly disclosed. The firm has accumulated 35+ industry awards, including 12 consecutive Guild Master Awards, multiple Best of Houzz honors, and a 2026 PRO NE Gold Award, and operates a long-standing pro-bono partnership with the Room to Dream Foundation.
