A design-build general contractor crafting custom, new-construction homes in Boston and on the South Shore.
ORCA Construction is a design-build general contractor. We work at the intersection of architecture and craft — bringing discipline to the design phase and beauty to the build.
With active construction projects on the South Shore, and a pipeline of custom new-construction and remodeling projects on the boards. We take on a limited number of builds each year so every client gets our best.
A builder earns their reputation in subtleties — proof that the details are not the detail. They are the design.
