Haycon

Business Description

Boston’s Builder of Sustainable, Affordable Housing

We are an award-winning design/build firm dedicated to innovating and diversifying Boston’s built environment through High-Performance and Passive House building.

Energy efficiency has always been one of our top priorities. Several of our team members have taken the necessary steps to become certified Passive House builders and consultants, and we have decided to design and build all future projects to meet Passive House certification standards.

Haycon’s broad scope of services include pre-construction, construction management, design-assist, and general contracting.

Our diverse portfolio includes single and multifamily residences, commercial fit-outs, passive houses, and renovation projects. However, we currently prioritize midsize multifamily Passive House projects.

HY PASSIVE HOUSE?

To meet stringent Passive House standards, we must minimize our buildings’ energy usage and energy loss to the greatest extent possible! We do so by: avoiding the use of fossil fuels, creating tightly-sealed and insulated enclosure systems, utilizing renewable resources, and installing central ERV systems, high performance windows, etc.

These building methods can also be useful in reducing the time and money spent working on a project, making our builds more lucrative for us and for building owners.

OUR APPROACH

We prioritize vital information for permitting, scheduling, and cost throughout the design and entitlement process. We remove needless soft costs and planning efforts in order to yield high-quality finished builds in a timely manner.

Haycon provides clients with a sma‍‍‍ll company experience while providing levels of expertise and project accounting found in large companies. As a result, our clients can expect an extremely smooth building process.
