John Perkins and Lawrence ( Laurie ) Smith officially created their company Perkins Smith Design Build in 2002. After working together on projects over a seven year period, they realized they shared a passion for good design, excellent craftsmanship, old houses and sustainable building practices. They each brought over 30 years of experience in the building industry to the partnership, as well as complementary skills and a personal dynamic that has allowed their business to flourish. John and Laurie were "green builders" long before green was in and have always been committed to creating homes that make sense: that are well-sited within their natural surroundings, make use of energy saving design and materials and utilize mechanical systems that reduce environmental impact. John and Laurie believe that working hard and having fun are not mutually exclusive and their business practices and jobsites reflect this philosophy. When not on the job they can be found boating on Lake Champlain or skiing one of Vermont's many peaks. why choose perkins smith Building or remodeling your home can be one of life's most personal and challenging undertakings.
