History

After years in the construction industry, Bob McPhee launched McPhee Associates in 1972. The company started by building and selling duplexes and then naturally progressed to renovating single-family houses and building custom homes.

In 2000, Bob’s son, Rob McPhee, joined McPhee Associates full time after graduating college and working for the company while he grew up. Together, the father-son duo has built the firm into one of the most well-respected home builders and remodelers on Cape Cod, Massachusetts.

In 2022, McPhee Associates celebrated their 50 year anniversary. In a special anniversary story, Bob and Rob recall the early years and the significant milestones that brought McPhee Associates to where it is today. Later in the year, Bob and Rob McPhee were honored to receive the 2022 Legends of the Industry Award from the Home Builders and Remodelers Association of Massachusetts (HBRAMA). The prestigious Award recognizes members across the state who drive change and innovation in the home building industry and have made significant contributions to their communities.

Today, McPhee Associates continues to build their reputation by delivering superior quality in each project they manage, while establishing lasting relationships with clients through generations.
