Having served as FBN’s president for more than 20 years, Bob has helped grow the company into one of the premier residential construction and remodeling organizations in the greater Boston area and developed a reputation for transparency, high quality craftsmanship, and nearly unparalleled customer service among general contractors. Throughout his tenure heading FBN, he’s tried to make client satisfaction his top priority. To this effect, he introduced the revolutionary business model of giving his clients full control of budget and project decisions, believing that the contractor’s job is just to provide the clients with all the necessary information to make those decisions and then implement them to the highest standard. Under his leadership, FBN has grown from $750,000 in annual revenue to more than $10 million and won dozens of local and national awards. Personally, Bob has won both Builder of the Year and Remodeler of the Year from the Builders and Remodelers Association of Greater Boston (BRAGB); been honored at an American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) gala for his contributions to the association; won a community service award from the International Furnishings and Design Association; earned a President’s Citation from the ASID President; and served as president of the BRAGB for 2015-2016. After graduating from Phillips Exeter Academy, Bob decided to travel across the U.S. and work in Europe for two years instead of attending college, a decision he still regards as one of the most rewarding he’s ever made. After returning to the U.S., he worked his way up from dishwasher to manager at the popular 33 Dunster Street restaurant in Harvard Square where he began to develop his philosophy on the importance of customer service. After entering the construction industry as a carpenter in the early 1980s, Bob quickly rose to become president of BEEM Construction in 1987 and then became the head of the growing FBN team in 1995. He enjoys FBN’s fun, collaborative atmosphere and heading a team that is incredibly easy-going about pretty much everything except customer service. Bob tries to ensure that every client trusts that he and his team always have their best interests at heart. The best part of his job is proving daily that nice guys don’t always finish last. When he’s not helping his clients build their dream homes, Bob loves to travel and spend time with his wife and family and play golf with friends, though he enjoys when people put their trust in him perhaps more than anything else. He also supports causes including cancer research, human rights and equal opportunity, and ethics in business.

Musab chose FBN Construction for its great reputation, professional coworkers, dynamic work experiences, and the pride that FBN takes in their high level of care that they demonstrate on all their projects. He attributes this to FBN being a place where everyone genuinely cares about their work and one another. It’s also a place where he’s always learning something new every day, improving his problem-solving abilities, and expanding his level of construction experience. As an Associate Project Manager, Musab believes in thorough planning prior to and during the construction process, he appreciates FBN’s collaborative environment and teamwork, and he strongly supports client-builder relationships that are built on trust and transparency. In his spare time, Musab enjoys reading about politics, history, and religion, mountain biking, and cooking!
FBN understands that homeowners want to choose a contractor based not only on skill but also on fit. Because of this, we prefer to meet with potential clients for an in-depth conversation about their goals, expectations, and priorities to make sure that everyone is comfortable with and knowledgeable about the project, the people involved, and the process. This meeting is critical to making the right choice.
During the initial meeting, FBN will assess the overall project on-site and study any nuances to accurately predict and visualize the production requirements. When it is practical, FBN invites our subcontractors to join us and visually inspect the home as well. This type of input allows FBN to create an informed budget for the proposed project and to bring up any potential alternatives that may benefit the project, budget, or aesthetics.
After the initial assessment, FBN will prepare a preliminary budget based on the available information, the site assessment, and plans. Once the budget is completed, FBN invites clients to sit down with us and thoroughly review the budget line by line. This transparency provides homeowners with the information to make the choices that best suit their goals and budget.
Once a client has decided to move forward, agreements are signed and the project is set on the production schedule. With the preliminary budget approved, project development begins and an FBN Lead Carpenter is also assigned. The Lead Carpenter remains with the project for its entirety, ensuring that our clients enjoy expertise and continuity on site for every day of the project.
Up until construction begins, FBN continues to meet with clients, architects, designers, and other project-related team members to make sure that everything is in order for work to begin. During this pre-construction process, FBN is diligent in obtaining answers to any outstanding questions, finalizing selections, and setting deadlines. We also review and make copies of plans, apply for and secure a building permit, schedule subcontractors, and create job books that contain all construction related documents.
Once the project begins, FBN’s production process is designed to keep clients thoroughly informed and up-to-date on their project. We hold weekly meetings to keep clients informed of and involved in important decisions on budget, design, and other necessary factors that may affect the project budget or timeline. This is another way we allow our clients to not only be involved but also to understand and to be in control of their project’s costs. An internal FBN team meets regularly to address any issues that arise, review all meeting notes, and update current schedules and budgets. These meetings continue through the end of the project.
The FBN production team manages the end of a project for timely and efficient completion. At this time, they review punch-list items (when necessary) and verify that additional work requests have been completed. FBN schedules a close-out meeting with clients to answer any questions, discuss the client’s level of satisfaction with the project and the process, verify receipt of product manuals, and review FBN’s warranty policies and the final budget. With the contract closed, the homeowners are then free to enjoy their new home or renovation.
FBN continues to be available to clients even after a project is completed. In fact, with FBN Home Care, we can continue to be there to take care of any home needs, no matter how big or small.
