Decks used to be a luxury "extra." Now, they’re the centerpiece of the home. We just wrapped 64 Baxter St in #Southie—a masterclass in urban outdoor living.

A master bedroom should be more than 4 walls and a closet. Vaulted ceilings for breathing room. Radiant heat for winter mornings. Soundproof envelopes for city quiet. If your bedroom doesn't feel like a retreat, it's time to rebuild the "bones." #AbacusBuilders #Southie

Combine a run-down single-family and a two-family home into one cohesive, high-value asset. We had to demolish and rebuild significant portions of the lot while the direct neighbor stayed in their home. The outcome:

In Boston, the sun sets at 4:30 PM. Light is the ultimate luxury. ☀️ Why the "White Kitchen"? It’s an engineering choice. Reflective surfaces act as light amplifiers, pulling sun deep into a Southie condo. We design for the winter solstice, not just the summer one. 🏗️❄️

Great builds don't just happen on paper; they happen in the dirt. 🏗️ Meet Gerald McGuigan, our Lead Field Project Manager. With 15+ years at Abacus, he started as a carpentry assistant and now executes our most complex Boston builds with surgical precision. ☘️🧱

In the South End, stepping out your own door for a breath of fresh air is the ultimate luxury. A small space requires "Surgical" design. • Built-in seating to hide HVAC. • Vertical planters to save floor space. • Flawless water management. Small footprint. Massive impact.

Before ➡️ After in Southie’s East Side. Just steps from L Street Beach, we transformed this lot into a high-performance 4-family building. • Off-street parking for ALL 4 units 🚗 • Rear decks & a massive roof deck • Sprawling 2 & 3-bed layouts • Surgical, high-end finishes

True sustainability isn't just about bamboo floors and LED bulbs. It’s about not filling dumpsters with careless mistakes. At Abacus, our surgical approach means precision ordering, strategic demolition, and engineering building envelopes that save energy for decades.

Getting higher ceilings means underpinning 100-year-old foundations and fighting the city water table. If a quote looks "fast and cheap," they are skipping the engineering. Fast and cheap is how buildings settle and flood. #BostonRealEstate #AbacusBuilders #Construction

12 Months. 130 Years of History. 5 Luxury Units. 🏗️📉 Transforming the historic Lavey family corner parcel in Southie took more than just a permit. It took ZBA appeals, community consensus, and surgical ground-up execution. #AbacusBuilders #BostonRealEstate #SouthBoston

The ultimate test of a ground-up build isn't opening day. It’s a decade later. Throwing it back to 2018 when Boston Homes featured our ground-up project at 654 East 7th Street. Trends fade, but surgical, high-performance craftsmanship holds its value.

Most developers copy-paste the same kitchen 4 times to save money. We went a different route. 1 building. 4 unique, surgically executed kitchens. Same high-performance standard, 4 totally different vibes. Which one are you choosing: 1, 2, 3, or 4? 👇

A luxury roof deck is only as good as the 30-year-old roof underneath it. For this Beacon Hill project on Revere St, we didn't just build a massive deck with Charles River views. We tore off and completely replaced the aging roof below it first. l #BostonRealEstate #RoofDeck

Just steps from L Street Beach, we engineered the three hardest things to find in Southie into one 4-family building: • Off-street parking for ALL 4 units 🚗 • Massive 2 & 3-bed layouts • Rear decks + a sprawling roof deck 🏙️
