At Benjamin & Company, we do more than simply build houses. We build with great care to create homes that function as well-integrated systems, leaving our clients with spaces of exceptional quality, efficiency, and durability. No matter the scope of your project, we will approach it with the same mindfulness we bring to everything we create. Above all, we want to make the journey to your new front door as smooth as possible. Building an extraordinary home is an endlessly complex, challenging, and rewarding process.
Benjamin & Company was founded in 2003 on strong, honest New England values passed down through generations: Ben Hemberger's father, an architect with deep passion for his work and commitment to his projects, inspired Ben's his own career in construction. Today, our entire team brings those same principles-hard work, integrity, and fine craftsmanship-to every phase of every project. Growing up around the industry, Ben had many part time gigs as a craftsman's helper. After high school in New Hampshire's Upper Valley, he took a break from building and earned a degree in computer science from Hampshire College in Massachusetts, but realized quickly that he'd rather not have an office job.
There are many different ways to get started with the new custom home building process. Often, people come to us with a general idea of what they want, but no construction documents. We are always in favor of having an architect involved, but that's not for everyone. Nonetheless, someone needs to get your ideas out and onto paper! You may be at the very beginning, or somewhere closer to having a conceptual design, or maybe you have a concept and need help with design development, but somehow we need to get the construction(and budgetting) process rolling with construction documents.
Beautiful small barn project with @michaelmaines . So many sweet details. Fun design, all local materials: hemlock beams, pine wall and ceiling covering, eastern white cedar. .This was phase one of a wonderful local project that became a pandemic story with a great ending.
