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 Cape Elizabeth

Coastal Plans That Fell Short You have seen this before.

House plans and design Cape Elizabeth ME Legacy Construction
You have a property near Shore Road and a clear idea of what you want to build. The plans you explored did not account for coastal setbacks or the material demands of a build that sits close to the water. Another season passed and the design never moved forward.

A designer quoted you plans without visiting the site. The drawings came back and no local contractor could price them correctly. The design-build disconnect cost you months and the build date moved 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 letting coastal plans go nowhere. Call (207) 544-4607 for a consultation.
