Project management for Arlington projects

From 02474 to the town line, Hunt Construction delivers project management throughout Arlington, MA in Middlesex County. One accountable team from permits to punch list.

Building permits in Arlington are issued through the local building department, which also carries out required inspections. Permit management is part of our project management: we track applications and coordinate required inspections through sign-off.

We serve ZIP codes 02474, 02475 and 02476 and every community within 25 km of Arlington. Arlington is about 16 miles from our Framingham dispatch hub, well inside the 60-mile radius our superintendents and equipment cover.

Local considerations

Building in Arlington: What's Local

What the public record says about building in Arlington — and what it means for project management.

  • Permits in Arlington

    Building permits in Arlington are issued through the local building department, which also carries out required inspections. Permit management is part of our project management: we track applications and coordinate required inspections through sign-off.

  • Historic districts

    Arlington has one or more local historic districts. Exterior changes to buildings inside a district, particularly those visible from a public way, may need approval from the historic district commission before work begins. Where review applies, we build the commission's process into the project timeline.

  • Energy code

    Arlington has adopted the Massachusetts municipal opt-in specialized energy code, which adds requirements for new construction beyond the stretch code. Energy-code compliance documentation and inspections are part of the permit process, and we plan for them in the schedule.

  • Local housing

    Arlington has some of the oldest housing in the area: 47% of homes were built before 1940, and the median home dates to 1945. Renovating homes of that age can uncover outdated wiring, undersized framing or other hidden conditions once walls are opened, so we plan investigation time and contingencies into the schedule. Homes built before 1978 may contain lead-based paint, so work that disturbs painted surfaces should follow lead-safe practices.

Good to know about project management

  • Under 780 CMR 103.1, the State Building Code is enforced by the building official, a term that includes the local building commissioner or inspector of buildings.

  • Individuals supervising construction, alteration, repair, removal or demolition must hold a Massachusetts Construction Supervisor License under 780 CMR 110.R5; homeowners doing permitted work on their own home are exempt.

  • Home improvement contracts over $1,000 must be in writing with the contractor's registration number, start and completion dates, a payment schedule and the owner's three-day cancellation rights; no work may begin before signing (201 CMR 18.05).
