What Our General Contracting
Services in Boston Include

Construction involves decisions that affect one another. A change to the layout can alter the scope of electrical work, while a delayed material delivery can affect when a subcontractor is needed on site. As your general contractor in the Greater Boston area, we manage those connections and keep you informed about their impact on the work.​

Our team at McPherson Development coordinates the people, schedules, and day-to-day activities involved in your project, giving you a central point of contact for progress updates, questions, and decisions throughout construction.

01

Subcontractor Coordination

We hire and oversee subcontractors, define their responsibilities, and coordinate their work with the rest of the team. Each trade needs the right information and access to the property to complete its part of the project.

​

You have a central point of contact for questions and updates, without having to follow up with individual contractors or resolve conflicts between trades yourself.

03

Cost Estimating and Budget Oversight

Our general contracting services begin with understanding your scope and developing a budget around the work involved. We help you assess costs and make informed decisions about materials, finishes, and priorities before construction starts.

​

During the build, we track costs and discuss proposed changes with you. If a renovation reveals an unexpected condition, we explain the additional work and its effect on your budget and schedule before proceeding.

02

Scheduling and Progress

Our construction project management covers the sequence of work, subcontractor availability, and the preparation needed for each stage. We monitor progress and coordinate upcoming tasks so the team understands what needs to happen next.

​

If material deliveries, site conditions, or changes to the scope affect timing, we adjust the schedule and explain the implications for your residential or commercial project.

04

Construction Oversight 

Our general contracting services in Boston include daily site oversight for residential renovations, commercial build-outs, and new construction. We check that the work follows the agreed plans and specifications, monitor workmanship, oversee site safety requirements, and address issues with the responsible trade.

​

As construction approaches completion, we review the work with you, identify outstanding items, and coordinate all tasks.

Serving Greater Boston
One Door at A Time

I bought a 4-bedroom home on Martha’s Vineyard which needed what I considered some relatively “easy” updating. Lu McPherson was referred by a friend and after viewing his prior work online I took a leap of faith and decided to work with him. It was the best decision I ever made! While I had done renovations on prior homes in the past, they were much less complex and I was present to oversee the work. In this case, not only was I remote but I asked for a very tight timeline – I needed to be in the house within 6- 8 weeks. McPherson and his team were 100% professional from beginning to end. Communication throughout the project was excellent and he worked to my budget and level of comfort. The house (not surprisingly) needed a bit more work than I’d originally anticipated but everything suggested by McPherson and his team was necessary and communicated ahead of work being started.

​

The renovations were absolutely exactly as I wanted and exceeded my expectations! Importantly, with this team I did not have to fly over to the island to review work - updates by photo and video were made available constantly.  

​

Finally, the work was done on budget and completely early  (despite my adding several new requests in the middle of the project)!  I would recommend McPherson Development LLC, for any home renovation/construction project without reservation. I’m already planning to get on their schedule for the next phase of my home renovations!
