why sea-dar?Sea-Dar is a full service construction firm with average annual revenues of $40M. Our specialty is the construc-tion and renovation of luxury estates, town-homes, and condominiums.
Vice President/Principal Tony Salem President/Founder/Principal-in-Charge Jean Abouhamad, P.E.Vice President/Principal John Kruse, LEED AP
OUR APPROACHSea-Dar Construction has proven achievement across a wide range of residential projects. From historic Brownstone residences and luxury condominiums to fine custom homes, Sea-Dar has established a reputation for excellence. Whether it is new construction, conversion, renovation, or restoration, we consistently exceed the demands of all of our clients.
Sea-Dar’s success has been achieved through building trust one project at a time. Trust is only gained through constant communication and the delivery of exceptional results. We invite you to explore our work through our portfolio of selected comparative residences.
PROJECT STAFFINGLed by a principal, each project is staffed with a full-time, seasoned master builder, a part-time project manager, and required support staff. Combined, the field and office staffs collaboratively manage the project to provide a high-quality result, a safe work environment, proper insurance and contracts for all subcontractors, and timely communication to the client and the entire project team.
PRECONSTRUCTION SERVICESSea-Dar’s Preconstruction Services gets involved when documents and scope are being developed. This early involvement allows Sea-Dar to manage our projects to aggressive schedules while maintaining the projected budget. Our knowledgeable and experienced preconstruction staff is accustomed to working closely with client teams to fully assess budget, schedule, procurement, and logistics well in advance of the actual commencement of each project, thereby minimizing the potential for changes and delays. We take pride in our ability to deliver accurate project pricing by collaborating in key decisions concerning product and design prior to construction, identifying maintenance and material lifecycles to determine best product selection, and assisting with logistics planning to ensure construction safety and schedule accuracy.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT PROCESSESDelivering projects on time and on budget is a core value at Sea-Dar and so we use the most advanced, integrated project control tools available to enable our project teams to effectively control budgets, manage tight schedules, and track project issues and concerns. The team begins by preparing a master schedule and a 3-week look ahead, and then uses procurement logs to ensure material deliveries do not impact the schedule. We stay on top of the project financials by using robust accounting programs that allow us to have real-time financial status of the project. All the while, we utilize strong communication tools to manage owner, architect, subcontractor & vendor Q & A, and to resolve issues in the field.
FAST TRACK EXPERTISE Sea-Dar has successfully completed fast-track and occupied space projects in all residential environments. We understand that it is necessary and realistic, through solid planning, to accomplish a great deal in a few short months. We choose our staff carefully, and we pride ourselves on having a diverse team of individuals that are all committed to the big picture of completing the project in the scheduled timeframe while never losing sight of details such as the comfort of building and neighborhood residents.

“building trust”is not a
catch-phrase;it’s at the
coreof every
project weundertake
Boston | Cape Cod | New York
why sea-dar?Our breadth of experience includes new building con-struction, total renovation of historical urban buildings, tenant interiors, and high end residential construction as well as numerous envelope renovations. Our experience in these areas has exposed us to all ele-ments of construction.
COST EFFECTIVEOur business model is simple. We do not require a deposit to initiate a project. Instead, our clients have the luxury of making payments on a monthly basis for work performed to date.
As an open-shop company, Sea-Dar closely monitors our cost structure and strives to maintain a competitive platform within the markets in which we operate. We have a loyal group of sub-contractors and vendors who have worked with us on numerous projects. Our capitalization allows us to gain better than average rates from them and allows us to easily provide bonding for your project if you desire; and our payables turnaround is one of the most aggressive in the industry making us a desirable partner for even the most particular vendors.
SINGLE FAMILY SUBURBAN RESIDENCESAward-winning Sea-Dar Construction is one of the premier home builders in New England’s suburbs and has set the standard for custom home construction. We work closely alongside the homeowner with the architect and interior designer to craft a home that can be enjoyed for years to come.
COASTAL DWELLINGSWhile coastal homes are ideal for vacation spots and retirement living, they also make lovely year-round homes. Building unique homes on the waterfront takes experience. Understanding the site - its terrain and flood zones – as well as its vantage points for views and privacy are key when developing a residence that incorporate aesthetics and endurance to withstand humidity, salt air and sometimes hurricane winds. Approaching each project with full knowledge of the site’s environment has benefited every one of Sea-Dar Construction’s cape & islands cli-entele.
HISTORIC PRESERVATION AND RENOVATIONSea-Dar knows the importance of operating within the confines of code compliance and historical preservation. We understand the necessity of accessibility upgrades, modernization and enhancement of space efficiency. We have developed a solid practice of meeting the exacting require-ments of architects, engineers, and designers, and have established the communication skills necessary to engage with demanding organization-al boards and community associations. Our success in this area is exemplified by detailed historic restoration projects like the Urban Townhouse shown in the attached Portfolio, Zero Marlborough and 126-130 Beacon Street which earned us awards from The Boston Preservation Alliance.
URBAN EXPERTISESea-Dar is among the areas best when it comes to logistically challenging urban projects. We’re known for managing the unique demands of projects located in tight settings and occupied environments. Our site management practices are intended to minimize the impact that construc-tion noise and dust has on the surrounding community and we operate within working hours considerate of the neighbors.

why sea-dar?We celebrate our 25th year of business in 2016. Our success is best demonstrated by the high frequency of business referrals.
INTERIOR DETAILSea-Dar consistently delivers high quality interior design elements and finishes. Whether it is the ornate details of traditional design, or the clean, refined lines of contemporary architecture, Sea-Dar attends to these details with exacting precision. Beginning with numerous loft conversions, to total gut and reconstruction of urban townhouses, to suburban custom construction, Sea-Dar has developed the expertise and creativity required to construct every detail contained in these designs. Our knowledge of the materials and techniques specific to traditional and contemporary projects enables us to provide accurate pricing and scheduling, and to deliver flawless construction results.
SAFETYSafety is also of prime importance at Sea-Dar. All project employees are OSHA certified, and instructed to follow our comprehensive safety manual on every project. We were awarded First Place, 2013 NAHB/Builders Mutual Insurance Company Safety Award for Excellence, the Clifford E. Simmons Memorial Award for Safety in 2009, and we have received Exemplary Safety Record Merit Awards from the AGC every year since 2000. We have also achieved the Gold designation from ConstructSecure for demonstrating outstanding performance in their Contractors Safety Assessment Program.
INSURANCE & BONDINGSea-Dar takes risk management very seriously. In addition to our own Liability and Workers Compensation insurance, we require all of our subcontractors to provide the same coverage with adequate limits for the work being performed. We recognize the complexity of the insurance industry and work with an outside Risk Consultant to ensure that the interests of the owner and the contractor are adequately protected at all times during the project.
Our bonding capacity is $20M for a single project and $40M in aggregate, and is provided by Acadia Insurance.
TRUST“Building Trust” is not just a catch-phrase at Sea-Dar; it is at the core of every project we do. From the executive office to the project site, our mission is to ensure our client’s satisfaction and to earn their loyalty by delivering quality projects and processes on time and on budget. Our success is best demonstrated by the high frequency of referral business. If you look at our testimonials, you will see our motto resonates through many of them.
DESIRESea-Dar carefully considers every project opportunity very seriously. We know that we are better than the majority of our competitors and only request the opportunity to show you what we can do.

goals
Boston | Cape Cod | New York
preconstructionOur mission in the preconstruction process is to utilize
our historical data and construction expertise to plan a
project that achieves a client’s goals.
PROCESS
Our preconstruction process starts with the initial budgeting phase, with the following goals:• In the initial kick-off meeting we will seek information to gain an understanding of the client’s goals and the design team’s vision. • Often this vision is built around a specific project component & our goal is to understand these “non-negotiable” items.• We prepare a detailed cost estimate based on our historical data and construction expertise. In addition, we break down the estimate by
project specific areas such as the exterior of the residence, master bedroom, master bath, kitchen, etc. so the owner can understand the major cost drivers of the project.
• We analyze the project schedule, permit process, and site logistics and ensure all potential costs are captured at this stage.• We proactively analyze and study the proposed design to propose potential cost savings ideas.• This budget is presented in a bound book with an executive summary that effectively communicates the project value, potential key risk
areas, and material allowances.As a member of the team, we stay close to the process after the initial budget phase by attending design meetings or establishing weekly project meetings. Our involvement is paramount for us to manage the schedule, provide constructability input and budget validation.
PRICING
When construction documents are complete we will price the project with the following goals:• Prior to the receipt of drawings, we pre-qualify the subcontractors to ensure a wide pool of appropriate bidding subcontractors. • We prepare a highly-detailed “in-house” estimate that is used to confirm we are receiving subcontractor quotes that reflect what the project
is worth.• We develop subcontractor bid packages to confirm all the various scopes of work are covered.• Each subcontractor quote is analyzed to ensure the subcontractor understands the project, the schedule and has included the correct scope
of work. The lowest responsible bidder is compared to our target budget. If there is a discrepancy, the values are reconciled.• Our final pricing effort is open book – clients will receive our bid evaluations as well as our subcontractor quotes.Our well defined preconstruction process sets up our construction team to execute the project without surprises.

Boston | Cape Cod | New York
environmental stewardshipAt Sea Dar Construction, we recognize the impact
that our industry has on the natural environment and
incorporate environmentally-conscious practices into
many aspects of our business.
OUR OFFICEWe understand that it all starts with how we operate our business and we drive the following goals:
• We have an active inter-office recycling program which includes a designated area for recycling bins paper and plastic and organization. • We embrace ‘pedal power’ and many of our employees ride bicycles to work and to meetings instead of driving or utilizing taxis.• Whenever possible, employees carpool to sites that are outside cycling or walking distance.• We have several LEED accredited professionals, and participate in the USGBC. • We incorporate the use of smart phones and other technologies in efforts to limit the amount of paper the construction industry consumes.• We spend time during the year doing office-wide community service events like the Charles River Clean-up each spring and the Rodman
Ride for Kids each fall.
PRECONSTRUCTIONWe embrace and continue to develop our green initiatives:
• To reduce the amount of paper consumed in the preconstruction phase, we use digital software to perform quantity take-offs, and distribute information to subcontractors via email. This saves resources on large-format documents, traditionally printed for each bidder.
• We introduce our subcontractors to the latest software to help them limit the amount of paper consumption as well. • We consult with experts about the most efficient materials, methods and systems for the construction industry, so that we can educate our
clients and make our projects more sustainable.
CONSTRUCTIONWe embrace and continue to develop our green practices:
• We utilize techniques to lower the impact to our environment in many ways. Several of our previous projects have had sustainable compo-nents, not least of which include geothermal wells, solar hot water, energy efficient lighting, prefabricated construction, and super-insulation.
• We sort construction debris for recycling, on-site. • We put negative air machines on every job site to improve air quality during construction as well as during the final cleaning stages so that
we can ensure clean, dust-free air quality at the time of completion.• Most of our subcontractors and vendors utilize green materials as their standard practice.

testimonials
Dave and Chris have been (even more than) amazing these past few days. They have really been proactive with the permitting process. Robert and I are breathing several sighs of relief! We are sure that Sea-Dar’s reputation has been incredibly helpful, but we wanted you to know they have left nothing to chance. They are stars, and they are stars in an amazingly well run company. We are lucky!
Heather and Robert KeaneBeacon Street Residence
Sea-Dar delivered on time and on budget the build out of our 6,100 SF condo. We are thrilled with the result. The project team was fabulous to work with. I couldn’t imagine anyone doing a better job.
Frank ResnekNewbury Street Residence
On time...On budget...As promised! Three words that you always want to hear at the end of a very large, very complex building project. The folks at Sea-Dar accurately projected the cost, the timing and the completion of our renovations at our new home on Beacon Street! Everyone that they brought into our home was professional, courteous and skilled. We have built three homes and renovated two others so we have a lot of experience with building contractors. Sea-Dar is, without question, the best company with whom we’ve worked and we would highly recommend them to anyone who is considering a building project of any kind!
Ted and Maureen English Beacon Street Residence
I took on a major customization project of a new condo. As I had no real experience with something of this scale, I was a little nervous. Jean and his team exhibited great patience, honesty, and pride in working with me to produce a unit that I love.
Penthouse Owner 6 Arlington Street
When I began renovating my Beacon Hill townhouse, I wanted a brand new, modern home and I wanted it quickly and cheaply. Sea-Dar took on the challenge. Sea-Dar kept on schedule, kept within the very tight budget, and made it an absolute pleasure to go through what could have been a very painful project. The people working on my project were capable, intelligent, and talented. I slept in my incredibly well-built and beautiful house for the first time last night... a full week ahead of our projected finish date.
