We founded Archwright to bridge the gap between expectation and execution.

It was 2016. Brian Lafauce and Cara Meneses had been working together for years within the high-end residential construction industry across coastal Massachusetts.

But something was missing.

They imagined what the experience could be if there were a shared vision between the client and contractor, working together as partners, with complete transparency and trust.

So, they embarked on a journey to build a firm that could embody these ideals and deliver an unparalleled experience to their clients.

They co-founded Archwright and thoughtfully assembled a team of partners who would champion this vision.

Over the following years, Archwright has grown deliberately and purposefully, aligning with homeowners, architects, and designers who share similar values, earning a reputation for exceptional craftsmanship and an elevated client experience.

Your partner today. Your partner for life.

Our clients feel like they are part of our company, because they are. We thrive on learning what you want, what interests you, and what excites you–and then thoughtfully crafting a home that achieves your dream.

And although no two clients–or homes–are alike, our results are the same. That's because we apply three guiding principles to every engagement.

Communication

Phone, text, email, or in-person. We work in whatever manner works best for you. And you can be involved as much–or as little–as you'd like.

Transparency

With our open-book policy, you'll have full access to every detail of your project, from drawings to detailed project accounting and cost control. There are no secrets here.

Innovation

We stay current with advances in technology and products, allowing us to provide you with informed guidance to build a home that will last for generations. Our customized software system provides a hands-on approach for clients to stay involved throughout the project.

  • When Ellen and I were thinking about designing and constructing our new home, we had a lot to consider. We found an interesting lot near our current home that, while it had great water views in an area we wanted to live in, was also constrained by setbacks, conservation issues, and varied elevation.

    We needed a partner who understood the site's technical challenges and our quality expectations, could offer solutions, understood our desires, and, frankly, would be fun to work with.

    Archwright exceeded our expectations. Given the site's challenges, it is amazing that we achieved our budget and were able to move in on the date we needed.

    The partnership and working relationship were great throughout. The best compliment I can give is that we would look forward to working with Archwright again on our next home without hesitation.

  • "We’ve completed two major projects with the Archwright team. They were with us from design to assistance in meetings with the Historic Commission through construction and beyond.

    We are thrilled that we selected Archwright after interviewing three to four other builders. Once we bought the property next door, we simply handed them the keys and said,‘Here we go again!’ They are solid in every way, and we have complete trust in them."

  • I have extensive experience with residential builders and have never worked with better professionals. Archwright did everything right from start to finish. When the project was completed, they provided management support and services to protect our home.
