Certified Green Builder Westfield NJ

Our Process

  • Initial Consultation
  • Preliminary Design
  • Construction Docs
  • Pre-Construction
We will arrange a no charge, no obligation meeting at your choice of our Westfield NJ design center or your residence to discuss the design, build and budgeting of your home construction project. Our goal is to make your next home renovation experience easy while delivering beautiful results.
During the Preliminary Design or Feasibility Study, we will measure the house and discuss how to transform it into your dream home. We review inspirational photos, past renovation projects, and an overview of the neighborhood to help develop the perfect design. Our in-house team of planners, contractors and architects will draft a series of schematic drawings, showing different designs and price each option. Anthony James will also confirm the plans and will work with local and New Jersey state zoning restrictions.
We will refine the preliminary design based on our discussions with you and trusted mechanical experts. Our team of NJ home improvement professionals will assist in selections and specifications. We hold construction progress meetings with the client as required, develop detailed construction plans and elevations, prepare comprehensive construction contract with menu of options or changes, assist in finalizing selections, schedule tentative start of construction, and introduce our BuilderTrend service.
Prior to the start of your home renovation project, Anthony James will finalize the construction bid, create a payment schedule outlining draw schedule, provide a flowchart of project, hold progress meetings between client and Project Manager, discuss pre-construction check list, provide a certificate of insurance, and submit for permits.

CLIENTS SAY

Anthony James Construction is an extraordinary organization. We retained the company to do an addition to our home including a bedroom, bath, sitting room, two car garage and a porch. From planning to implementation to followup, the work was completed in a professional manner. The quality of the work met the highest of standards. Particularly noteworthy is the quality of the staff...very capable and caring. Anyone who's done a major construction job knows how challenging it can be. Anthony, his staff and his subcontractors make the experience as painless as possible. My wife and I highly recommend Anthony James.

When I hired Anthony James to do the construction on my new home that it was probably one of the best decisions I ever made. Upon meeting him, I immediately knew I had the right man for the job. I told him what I wanted to accomplish. He quickly assessed the situation and took it from there. As a testament to his expertise is the astuteness in having the best support team he could possibly have to work with him on my project. Tommy, the foreman, took charge and really kept things moving at the right pace, along with Lou, the builder, and Carlos, the carpenter who truly know their craft. Jimmy and John, the electricians from V.M. Electric, were also top notch and irreplaceable as was Zosimo, from Empire Painting. Highly recommended.

My husband and I loved Anthony and his entire team from the beginning of our project to the end. We have built several homes and have never been as satisfied as we were with Anthony James. The experience and organizational skills of this company is incomparable. The positive attitude of everyone made it a pleasure to work with them during our year long project. Anthony and Tommy (the foreman), along with all of the sub-contractors that work for Anthony, were always respectful and courteous, with a desire to please. They had great ideas and made many design suggestions, and easily came up with wonderful solutions when unexpected problems arose. We love our home, and are grateful and blessed to have worked with Anthony James Construction.

The Kelly Family, Westfield

When looking for a builder to bring our 1950's split level into 'the new millennium,' our architect suggested we get a quote from Anthony James Construction. Despite this firm's stellar reputation, we honestly never thought we could afford this level of expertise. To our surprise, after reviewing our plans, Anthony agreed to take on the job at a cost we were all comfortable with. (I think the state of our home garnered his sympathy!) We were so excited to move forward. In all my years of living in this area, I had never heard one negative comment about a job taken on by this company. To the contrary....all reviews (through the community 'grapevine') were strictly about how wonderful the jobs turned out and how happy the clients were. We are now one of those clients.
