The job
Home Builders work in Boston
Boston is an old, dense city where most of the housing stock predates the Second World War, and the building work that follows from that is steady: gut renovations in triple deckers, additions in Dorchester and West Roxbury, condo conversions, and new construction on the edges of the city and in the suburbs along Route 128. The searches come from people who already own a parcel or a building and are weighing who to hire, so the demand is local and specific to a street, a neighbourhood and a type of project. Paid search in this trade in Boston is expensive because the jobs are large, and the firms bidding on it range from single owner operators to regional builders, with franchise names present but not dominant. The demand available is real and it is concentrated in the neighbourhoods where the housing stock is oldest and the lots are tightest.
