We interviewed Scott Simpson, Partner at Scott Simpson Design + Build.

What does your company do?

Scott Simpson Design + Build is a 25-year North Shore pillar, specializing in architecture-construction of new homes, historic renovations, and eco-conscious, green building projects. Offering design and build under one roof allows us to tackle the most challenging projects on the market. It is the best way we know to ensure a client’s goals are supported by beautiful, realistic and cost-efficient design and construction plans – made even better with our three-year warranty and 24-hour emergency service.

Tell us about your company’s journey:

We celebrated our 25th anniversary last year so it’s been a time of reflecting and planning for the next 25. It’s been a challenging, wonderful, long road of designing and building great homes – but it’s the lifelong friendships formed and watching families grow in spaces we built that make all the difference.

What has been your company’s greatest success?

Our team is our greatest success. We are sincerely devoted to each other, our subcontractors and our clients. There has been an unspoken rule at our company from the beginning – we show up for each other. It feels a bit like living in a “Friends’ episode with lots of laughs and lots of heartfelt joy.

Do you have special quarantine hours?

No.

What are your company’s goals for 2020?

2020 has been a deeply challenging year on so many levels but we believe that you should never let a crisis go to waste. SSDB has been around a long time. We’ve weathered the great recession, 9/11 and now Covid-19. What we know for sure is that we are resilient. We will adapt and take action with the best of them. There’s no getting around it – only through it…together. We also think there will be a lot of new construction in the suburbs for past city dwellers who are looking for the openness and perfect fit of a home they design and build so that it grows with their needs and with their family – and we look forward to helping them realize their vision.
