High-Performance Design Services for Home Builders
Today’s New England builder operates in a performance-driven environment. Stretch codes. HERS thresholds. Electrification readiness. Airtightness testing. Incentive compliance.
You don’t just need drawings. You need a design partner who understands how performance, code, and construction actually work in the field.
That’s where Beauchemin Designs' Pro Builder Services come in.
Design & Performance Support for Professional Home Builders
Built for Performance. Designed for Builders.
Pro Builder Services supports you in three ways:
- Stock Home Designs
- HERS Rater Services
- Custom Design Pro Partnerships
Each service is structured to help you streamline workflow, reduce field surprises, and deliver compliant, high-performance homes with confidence.
Flexible Configurations. One Thoughtful Design Approach.
Stock Home Designs for Builders
Our stock home designs are created specifically for New England’s climate and code environment. These are not generic plans — they are envelope-first designs aligned with modern performance standards.
What You Get
- New England–ready assemblies
- Stretch Code–compatible layouts
- Efficient mechanical pathways
- Electrification-ready design
- Clean permitting documentation
Builder Branding Included
We will customize stock plans with the builder name, client name, and Property address. There is no charge for basic branding updates. Further customization is available for a fee, including floor plan revisions, elevation changes, window modifications, and envelope upgrades.
You get speed when you want it — flexibility when you need it.
Performance is not optional in New England. It’s required.
HERS Rater Services
We provide HERS rater services aligned with Massachusetts Stretch Code, Rhode Island programs, and Connecticut IECC performance paths.
Services Include:
- Energy modeling
- Pre-construction compliance review
- Blower door testing
- Duct leakage testing
- Final HERS certification
- Incentive coordination support
We use HERS as a design tool — not just a compliance check. By modeling early, we help you avoid last-minute failures, redesign costs, and inspection delays.
Why Builders Work With Beauchemin Designs
- We understand the envelope — not just the software
- We anticipate common fail points
- We coordinate with your mechanical trades
- We protect your schedule
When HERS is integrated early, it becomes predictable.
Strategic Design Support for Professional Builders
Custom Home Design Services
For builders looking to elevate and streamline their product line, we offer Custom Home Design Services.
We design specifically for you — your methods, your trades, your build process.
We Help You:
- Develop repeatable high-performance models
- Refine structural efficiency
- Optimize envelope assemblies
- Improve mechanical coordination
- Reduce field changes
- Increase HERS consistency
If you build multiple homes per year, small design improvements compound into major operational gains.
Designed with Performance in Mind
Envelope-First Design = Fewer Field Surprises
High-performance homes begin with the envelope — insulation continuity, air sealing strategy, moisture control, and proper mechanical sizing.
When performance is designed in:
- Blower door targets are achievable
- Stretch Code compliance is predictable
- Mechanical systems are properly sized
- Incentive eligibility is clear
- Callbacks decrease
We don’t bolt performance onto drawings. We design it in from the start.
