We spoke with several contractors before choosing Legacy Construction and are glad we did. Their communication was excellent, and they handled every detail of our project with care. They take pride in their work, and it shows in the final product.

It’s hard to find a trustworthy contractor these days, let alone one that cares about the all the details that can easily get lost in the grand scheme of the project. Legacy Construction threaded that needle, and many others, expertly. Looking forward to the next time we can work together.

House Plans and Design in Scarborough

Plans That Could Not Survive Permitting You have run into the design-build disconnect before.

House plans and design Scarborough ME Legacy Construction
You drive along Route 1 every day knowing your property in Scarborough is ready for the build you have been planning. The design process stalled when drawings came back with questions that a separate designer could not answer quickly. Another season passed without a permit.

A designer handed off plans to a contractor who found inconsistencies that required revisions. Multiple rounds of back-and-forth added months to the timeline and the build date you expected kept moving further out.

Every month without finished plans costs you:
  • We show up when we say we will, every single time

  • We build exactly what we planned and agreed on


  • A building permit clock that has not even started yet
  • Months of delays once construction starts due to incomplete drawings


  • The design you want next year will cost more than it does today

Stop cycling through designs that stall. Call (207) 544-4607 for a consultation.

Your Scarborough Design Goes Straight to Build

We design around your Scarborough property, your budget, and the construction sequence we will follow. Plans drawn by the team that builds them go to permit ready without the revision cycles.
