Frequently Asked Questions About Multi-Family Construction Near Boston

How long does it take to build a multi-family or multi-unit property in Massachusetts?

Timelines for construction depend on design complexity, permitting, and site conditions, but a typical multi-family construction project in Greater Boston takes:

  • 2–4 months for pre-construction and permitting

  • 8–14 months for active construction

  • 2–3 months for final inspections and occupancy

We often recommend planning for a 12–18-month total timeline for townhomes, duplexes, or small apartment buildings, especially in Newton, Somerville, or Waltham, where zoning and historical reviews can extend approvals.

What’s the difference between multi-family and multi-unit housing?

Honorato Company happily builds both. The terms are often used interchangeably, but technically:

  • Multi-family refers to residential buildings with multiple dwellings in one structure (e.g., an apartment building or duplex).

  • Multi-unit may include separate buildings on one parcel, like a townhouse cluster or condo-style development.

How does multi-unit residential development work?

Every multi-unit development follows three main stages:

  1. Pre-Construction — Feasibility studies, zoning analysis, architectural plans, and permit applications.

  2. Construction Management — Groundwork, utilities, framing, and trade coordination under our cost-plus contract model.

  3. Completion & Turnover — Final inspections, HERS and energy compliance, punch list, and client handover.

Do I need an architect before hiring a construction manager?

Not necessarily. Many of our most efficient projects begin with our Pre-Construction phase, where we help you assemble the right team, including architects, engineers, and designers, to align scope and budget from day one.

For investors and developers, this integrated model prevents costly redesigns and ensures all documents meet zoning and permit submission standards.

Why should I work with a construction management firm instead of a traditional general contractor?

A construction management firm like Honorato Company focuses on strategic oversight, transparency, and adaptability, not just execution. We handle:

  • Cost tracking and reporting

  • Trade and vendor coordination

  • Client communication and schedule forecasting

  • Change order control and accountability

Can Honorato Company handle both design and construction for my development?

Yes. We operate under a design-build framework through our Pre-Construction program. This allows our team to collaborate directly with architects and engineers while managing budget constraints, zoning compliance, and construction sequencing, creating one cohesive process from concept to completion.
