BuildLabs Sag Harbor: Crafting Your Dream Home with Passion

The open floor plan and large glass windows throughout our modern BuildLabs home allow us to feel like we are a part of nature from the comfort of our home. The numerous windows allow light to fill the house. The open layout of the kitchen and living area flows seamlessly to the outside, which is ideal for entertaining and enjoying warm summer days with family.

We also love the quality of the details throughout the home, from the beautiful wood flooring throughout to the high-quality fixtures in the kitchen and bathrooms. Punit and the team from BuildLabs quickly and professionally wrapped up the project.

The house is highly energy efficient. With the addition of solar panels on the roof, we pay $0 annually for electricity. BuildLabs wired the home with smart devices including Nest thermostats, which allows for efficient energy management.

We are loving our home and still feel like we are new residents, so we have no plans to move or build in the near term. However, should we choose to do so, BuildLabs will be our first call!

"We chose to build our home on Flying Point due to its location close to town, while still feeling like you’re a part of nature. The open layout of the kitchen and living area flows seamlessly to the outside, which is ideal for entertaining and enjoying warm summer days with our friends and family.

We love the quality of the details throughout the home, from the beautiful wood flooring throughout to the high-quality fixtures in the kitchen and bathrooms. Our family most loves the large windows – these allow light to fill the house throughout the day, and it makes us feel surrounded by the landscape with the flowers and trees in our garden.

With the addition of solar panels on the roof, we pay $0 annually for electricity. BuildLabs wired the home with smart devices including Nest thermostats, which allows for efficient energy management.

The house has exceeded all of our expectations. The BuildLabs team’s attention to detail came through in their work, with high quality fixtures, finishes, and appliances. Most importantly, everything has worked since day one, and that continues to be the case today! We love our home and if we ever chose to move again in the future, BuildLabs will be our first call!"

"We spent many summers vacationing in the Hamptons. When we decided to buy a home here, we knew we wanted to be in East Hampton due to its location relative to the beach and the other towns we frequent. We wanted a design that was very specific: contemporary outdoor Southern California living space.

We used a 3rd party architectural firm, The Up Studio, who introduced us to BuildLabs. They worked in partnership on the cabana, and the amount of professionalism displayed during the scoping & bidding process, as well as stellar references helped us choose BuildLabs to work on the project.

Everything was professionally managed and all of our expectations were met. The quality was a match with our vision and style. All in all, we were impressed by how well the two firms worked together!

We love all the materials used on the cabana; the neutral colors and materials were textural and consistent with the contemporary feel of the main house and the design was very specific: contemporary outdoor SoCal living space. We are very pleased with the results!"

"Having a background in real estate development, I tend to have a natural instinct for challenging properties. This made working with BuildLabs was a no brainer, because they are used to tackling complex projects.

For the design, I let the site inspire me. I worked with my architect for the schematic, and then from that point on BuildLabs was able to handle everything until completion. The design-build process was efficient with BuildLabs taking full accountability for the project, cost, and construction that I have not experienced with anyone else. I found great comfort in the BuildLabs team right from the start as I had to manage the project from Palm Beach. Throughout the entire process, I felt like I never left town with their real-time reporting, daily photos, logs, and schedule updates.

I love the open plan and the water views as soon as you enter the house. The level of detail in the coffered ceilings, panel work, and architectural staircase turned out beautifully.

The entire experience was excellent! We developed a friendship during the build that was collaborative, respectful, and transparent. BuildLabs built a beautiful home with care and passion, leaving no stone unturned to receive my recommendation. I am looking forward to working with them again on another project."

"Prior to our purchase, we rented in Sag Harbor for the summer - the community, proximity to town, and year round services factored into our decision. We knew this was the area we wanted to be in and began searching for a design-build firm that we could trust.

The quality of the build offered by BuildLabs and given our home would be factory built had great appeal to us, however, at the time we were unique in that we were going to be their first project in the U.S. that was factory built. To help address some of our early concerns, BuildLabs hosted us in Germany and showed us many homes in various states of completion. We were blown away by difference in quality, even walking through homes that were 15-20 years old.

When we returned, we sat with BuildLabs’ architects and our project manager in their design lab with our overarching design concepts… starting with a blank sheet of paper. We started thinking of a modern box concept, but through the conversation, and as they listened to our vision for the home, they helped us  transition our design concept to a modern farmhouse.

BuildLabs was able to accommodate all of our design concepts – we have high ceilings on all levels, and a walkout lower level. We used lots of natural wood and stone and a neutral color palette. We also worked with the team to build a pool cabana which is where we spend most of our time. We’re very happy with the end product! The solid construction of the home is very quiet from outside noise and equally quiet from room to room."

"We had been renting here in the area for a few years, and when a quaint little cottage came on the market, we purchased it right away. The existing cottage was historic and small. We had to respect the local rules to restore the existing 600 sq ft home while adding additional square footage at the same time. BuildLabs had completed projects like this prior to ours where the existing cottage had to be lifted and a new foundation and basement were poured prior to restoring and adding to the existing cottage. From the permit set, BuildLabs was able to take the project all the way to completion.

The quaint cottage still has its character, and the proximity to the village of Sag Harbor is perfect. We also love the open floor plan and how the entertainment area spills into the pool area and pool house. Every detail is meticulously executed.

We couldn’t be happier with BuildLabs’ work! The team was proactive in finding the best technical solutions that were in line with our budget. Transparent, clear goals, and an empirical approach best describes our experience with BuildLabs. We cannot recommend them enough, and if we are ever in the market to build another new home, they will be our choice again!"
