A home starts with a conversation.
The rooms you use, the space you need and the questions you bring are a useful place to begin. Meet Ray Dyer, the owner behind General Contractor Brunswick.
Our work covers new custom homes and additions. We also remodel existing homes.

How does Ray approach a project?
Ray approaches a project by looking at the home and listening to what the homeowner wants to change. His background begins in carpentry, with an interest in how a house comes together and how each room works.
That practical outlook carries into conversations about a new home, an addition or a renovation. Start with the proposed work, then work through the questions that shape the next decision.
Start with the space
Talk about the rooms, the layout and the way the home is used.
Name the open questions
Separate the details already decided from the details that need a closer look.
Keep the scope clear
Discuss the proposed work before moving toward a construction commitment.
What needs to work together?
The layout, structure and finishes need to work together for a home to feel right. Looking at those choices together gives the project a clearer starting point.
Structure
New space and changes to existing space start with the house itself. Existing conditions need a close look.
- Foundation
- Connections
- Roof form
Finishes
Cabinets, surfaces and trim affect daily use as well as appearance. Bring examples of what feels right to you.
- Surfaces
- Tile
- Trim
What would you change at home?
A project conversation can start with the space you have and the space you want. Bring your ideas and the questions still on your list.
A new home or a familiar home, made better.
