Start Your Project

You want Maine craftsmanship – the kind that lasts through decades of coastal weather.
You need modern communication – real-time updates, not phone tag and guesswork.
You expect design and construction to work together – not against each other.
For over 20 years, we’ve upheld the construction standards that make Maine building legendary, but we’ve never believed tradition means accepting poor communication or outdated processes. Your home will hold your life’s most meaningful moments, which means it deserves both exceptional craftsmanship and exceptional experience. We bring design and construction together under one roof, give you real-time visibility into every detail of your project, and communicate proactively so you’re never left wondering. That’s Nautilus Construction.
Vision and execution, together from day one.
Your architect and builder shouldn't be separate conversations. We bring them together under one roof, so your design decisions account for construction reality and your build delivers on architectural vision. No miscommunication between teams. No budget surprises from unbuildable designs. No finger-pointing when something goes wrong. Just one integrated team working toward the same goal: your home, built right.
See your budget, schedule, and progress, anytime, anywhere.
Our Co-Construct platform gives you real-time access to everything happening with your project. Track your budget down to individual line items. See updated schedules showing what's happening when. Browse photo documentation from every construction phase. Check in from your office in Boston or your phone at the beach, the information is always current, always accessible. You'll never wonder where things stand.
Quality built to last, by people who know this coast.
We've been building along this coastline for over 20 years because we understand what works here. The materials that hold up to salt air and winter storms. The details that matter when you're building for generations, not just decades. The trades and suppliers who deliver on their promises. Maine's building tradition runs deep for good reason—and we uphold those standards on every project.
You shouldn't have to chase your builder.
We reach out before you have to ask. Regular updates on progress and schedule. Honest conversations about challenges when they come up, not after they become problems. Direct access to decision-makers, not endless phone tag. Our communication systems ensure you know what's happening, why it's happening, and what comes next. Because trust is built through consistency, not just craftsmanship.
We hired Nautilus for an addition/renovation of our home. Working with Mark, Chris, and team on the ~10 month project was fantastic. They were highly communicative and did excellent work across the board.
We recently finished an approximately 6+ month remodel of our whole house with Nautilus and had a great experience working with Chris and his team, and we are extremely happy with the finished product. When unexpected issues arose, Chris was easy to talk to and solution-oriented. He would come to our meetings with a detailed breakdown of options and remedies, and was great at explaining what was going on, while also listening to our concerns. We also thought all of... read more
Last summer we finally tackled a backyard project with the help of Nautilus Construction. New deck, raised yard area, walled gardens & stone firepit area all came together with a great group of personnel that were friendly and easy to work with, and executed exactly what we wanted. We love the versatile and comfortable space and use it every day! Highly recommend Nautilus for professionalism, great people and quality execution.
Just finished a kitchen/living room remodel of our beach house which has been in the family for over 50 years. Designed and built by my grandfather, we wanted to keep the mid-century modern look and feel while upgrading to modern amenities. Chris and the team did an outstanding job, especially on the details which are so important with a house like this. Big thanks to Chris, Andy, Lorne, and especially Henry for an amazing job!

We were super delighted by the work done for us by Nautilus Construction. We had a modest kitchen renovation we needed done before we moved into our home and Nautilus went above and beyond in their completion of our project. The crew members were polite and friendly and the work they did was exactly what we had asked for. Their attention to detail and making sure everything was just right and what we wanted was so comforting. The finished project... read more
Nautilus Construction is simply the best. Having people working in your home every day for months can be stressful, but not with Nautilus. Chris has created a culture of professionalism and excellence that every member of his crew embraces. From our initial conversations with Chris all the way through our final walkthrough with Henry, the amazing lead on our project, we knew our kitchen, mudroom, and laundry room renovations were in good hands. We appreciated Chris’s attention to keeping on... read more
If we could give the Nautilus team 6 stars- we would! We were recommended to Nautilus by our architect after having worked successfully with them in past. Upon my first meeting with Chris (owner) I knew this was who I wanted to do our project. From our first meeting to the very completion of our project it felt seamless. The team is courteous, polite, respectful and talented. We had a few hiccups (to be expected) along the way, and the Nautilus... read more
We most definitely made the right decision when we chose Nautilus Construction for our project to renovate our weekend house into our full-time retirement residence. They skillfully transformed our condominium in a historic 1895 building, giving us a beautiful new staircase, new kitchen, custom built-in cabinet/bookcase, crown moldings, and updated flooring and lighting. Everyone we worked with throughout the process was excellent… Chris and his staff were talented and amazing. Owen’s attention to detail goes beyond being a fine craftsman to... read more
