About
Daniel Robert Harvey, a native New Englander, has well over a decade's worth of professional experience in high-end residential construction. Although his career actually began in Los Angeles, Dan's passion for building and carpentry started much earlier while helping his dad with projects at their family home in Swampscott, MA.
Dan moved out West after graduating from Boston College and found his way back into carpentry, working on residential construction jobsites in Santa Monica and Beverly Hills. For eight years, he worked as a construction supervisor and project manager on some of Los Angeles’ most opulent homes. After receiving a certificate in Construction Management from UCLA, and shifting focus to working exclusively in custom millwork and finish carpentry, Dan returned to New England.
In 2017 Daniel Harvey Construction began serving the local communities of Boston's North Shore. Dan also held the role of Construction Manager with the luxury residential building and architectural firm Carpenter & MacNeille in Essex, MA, furthering his experience working on historic New England homes.
Dan, Katie, their daughter Ava, and dog Scooby, live in Marblehead, MA where they enjoy the beauty of the small local New England communities that surround them!

Managing expectations can be just as challenging as the actual project itself. We strive to meet our client’s needs through clear communication and goal setting, while also understanding the involvement they wish to have on the project. Whether they wish to be included as a project leader, or have little to no involvement, we cater our services to match that desire and availability. Recommendations and referrals from experienced industry professionals provide honest, and accurate, information, so big decisions can be made with confidence. Detailed proposals and projected cost reviews ensure the use of qualified subcontractors, and legitimize costs throughout the course of work. By keeping a continual focus on necessary/critical path decisions, actions can be carried out in a timely manner, and therefore lessen unnecessarily long project timelines. All of this is done while providing complete transparency of costs and an understanding of where money is being spent, and why. Knowing that small, but impactful, changes make a significant difference in the overall cost, duration, and successfulness of any project, is what sets us apart.
