Not just a process, a collaborative journey.

Guide Construction Solutions is a father-son design-build team based in North Ferrisburgh, Vermont. With experience owning and working for larger construction companies, we bring the expertise and knowledge of a larger firm to a more personal, adaptable, and creative building experience.

Guide Construction Solutions is here to guide you on a personal journey through the design & build landscape with open communication and integrity.

Every project we take on, large or small, is an expedition driven by our dedication to you and our craft.


Hear from a family who took the journey.

A low-plastic, energy-efficient home in Ripton, Vermont, built to adapt to the needs of a growing family.

30+ years building & renovating in the sustainable building industry.

19 years partnering with Efficiency Vermont.

500+ unique design & build projects.

Expert design leads to efficient builds.

At Guide Construction Solutions, small is a big word for us. We find over and over again that Vermont homeowners are happier living in well-designed, smaller spaces rather than larger ones. Efficient design means an efficient home. We strive to build net-zero ready whenever we can, utilizing our experience with passive house design and alternative energy integration.

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

What our clients say:

  • "Because you're talking to the same team who's both imagining, as well as going to have to do the work, I feel like they brought an air of practicality to it. The balance there is what I enjoyed the most. There are days when the conversation is entirely inspirational and there are days when the conversation is entirely pragmatic. Mark and Liam act as a guide for us through this process."

    — McDevitt | Lake Champlain House Renovation

  • "They make homes that look like they’ve been built with human hands and we love that about their work. "

    — Heather Pask | Ripton VT Design & Build

  • "Real professionals every step of the way. Demonstrated knowledge and competence in the analysis, scope of work and execution/completion. Great people to work with. Would highly recommend Mark and Liam to anyone interested in getting a thorough assessment of energy efficiency (or rather energy inefficiency) and effective solutions."
