I would highly recommend North America Development. They did a fantastic job for a property renovation in Medford. They even completed the renovation under their projected timeline and budget! The communication was amazing and whenever I had a question I felt like they actually took the time to explain everything. 5 Stars!!

We built a single family house with NAD 2017-2018 - the project was not their typical bread and butter city condo - but a suburban single family that we planned to live in versus sell. We were pretty green coming into the world of construction, so we relied heavily on Jason and his teams expertise. We are so happy we did- we were able to build the house of our dreams. Any regular build/permit challenges we encountered Jason and his team handled with professionalism and swiftness. Our lot in particular had unique circumstances that required a GC with creative solutions. Overall NAD demonstrated

Their commitment to customer service and finished product is second none. The entire team is great at planning, communication and execution. It's critical to have a team of experts in all facets of a construction project and property development in one place and working together towards a common goal, and that's what you get with NAD. They stand behind their work and are always focused on learning, market/design trends and perfection. They

Jason and his team are highly skilled and true experts in their field. They are the quintessential real estate development group in the Greater Boston region and industry leaders in their quality of design and work. Their communication throughout the building process is beyond excellent as we were able to follow along with every process and expense in their personal app and timely consultation.
