Approach

Build a lasting legacy.

We listen, collaborate and care

Knickerbocker Group is committed to delivering exceptional results on every project. We strive to make a lasting, positive impact on our clients, communities, people, business partners and our industry. We approach each project as a partnership, drawing from our vast network of resources and experience. Quality comes in both vision and execution; we pursue big ideas, while concentrating on the finest details.

Our values define our work

01

We listen, collaborate, and care

With over 46 years of designing, building, and crafting homes and spaces throughout Maine, we have learned many important lessons. Good design starts with caring, thoughtfulness, and attentive listening. We create client-driven designs that reflect our practice at listening.

Our work is often custom because our clients are as diverse as the homes we build for them. Our houses are deeply personal to our clients and as such, our relationships with our clients are close and personal as well. Equally as important is the energy and excitement for the vision we create together and being able to express that vision from the first design meeting to the last day on the construction site.

02

Process-driven delivery

We are always getting better. Our work is underscored by process-driven delivery and each time we strive to do it better. Guiding our clients from start to finish, we find success comes from frequent and effective communication. We like to tell our clients what we are going to do before we do it, so they are aware and as involved as they would like to be. While we value process, we will never compromise quality.

03

Our legacy is our quality

Quality is a concept that extends to the core of who we are. We are the best design, construction, and property care firm in Maine; we are extremely proud of what we do and even more excited about how we do it.

Our work is a product of our passion, and our collective desire to surpass our clients’ expectations. We are obsessed with what we do: architecture, renovating homes, design inspirations, building science, Prefab Pods, and the latest sustainable practices. When we collaborate—our passion and your vision—we achieve the exceptional, together.

04

Sustainability and innovation

Every Knickerbocker Group project is founded on sustainable principles and practices to optimize building performance, reflect our care for Maine, and proactively respond to global concerns for our shared environment. Building science is an ever-changing field; our team continually works to research, test and implement new technologies, materials, and methods into our standard best practices.

Our company’s environmental and social responsibility is driven both by corporate and employee-owner ethos. We have a dedicated Sustainability and Innovation team focused on a multi-year growth plan that drives our internal and external operations to achieve milestones of excellence.
