Building in Eastham, MA
Falmouth’s landscape ranges from sandy beaches and salt marshes to quaint village centers and wooded inland lots — all requiring careful planning and adherence to local regulations. We understand the town’s permitting and environmental zoning requirements and build with full respect for Falmouth’s character and ecology. Our team navigates the unique aspects of building here, including:
- Coastal Site Permitting & Flood Zones: Obtaining approvals for waterfront construction and ensuring FEMA floodplain compliance on oceanfront and harbor-side properties.
- Historic District Guidelines: Preserving architectural character in Falmouth’s historic villages (like the downtown Village Green area or Woods Hole) while integrating modern amenities.
- Wetlands & Conservation Bylaws: Building near salt marshes, coastal ponds, and conservation land means meeting strict environmental regulations and setback requirements.
- Seasonal Logistics: Planning around Cape Cod’s busy summer season and weather constraints to optimize construction schedules and local subcontractor availability.
From Woods Hole to Waquoit Bay and everywhere in between, we design and build homes that reflect the spirit of Falmouth and the realities of Cape Cod’s environment. Our familiarity with local boards – from the Falmouth Conservation Commission to the Historic Districts – means a smoother process and a home built the right way.

Modular, Technical & Sustainable Solutions
Beyond traditional construction, W.D. PRICE offers advanced solutions that deliver efficiency, sustainability, and architectural finesse. Our integrated approach means we handle everything from design and engineering to specialty building methods — providing you with a smoother experience and a superior home.
Modular Home Building
Efficient, precise, and faster to the finish line, our modular builds are ideal for Falmouth projects with limited site access, challenging lots, or tight timelines. We fabricate your home’s components in a controlled environment, ensuring premium quality, then transport and assemble them on your Falmouth site. This process minimizes on-site disruption and weather delays while delivering a high-end custom home more quickly. Modular construction is perfect for the Cape’s seasonal construction window and can be a smart solution for coastal builds where timing is everything.
Architectural Design & Engineering
Our in-house design and engineering team brings together form and function under one roof. From initial concepts and zoning reviews to structural engineering, we create smart plans tailored to Falmouth’s local bylaws, coastal conditions, and aesthetic traditions. By integrating architectural design with engineering early on, we streamline timelines, prevent surprises, and ensure every detail of your home serves both beauty and structural integrity. It’s a cohesive approach that keeps your project on track and aligned with your vision and all local code requirements.
Passive House & Energy-Efficient Design
As Certified Passive House Consultants (CPHC), we specialize in homes that excel in energy performance, comfort, and sustainability. We incorporate high-performance insulation, advanced air sealing, and optimal solar orientation to create a home that stays cozy through Falmouth’s chilly winters and cool during salty summers. Our energy-efficient designs lower your energy bills, improve indoor air quality, and reduce environmental impact without sacrificing style. A W.D. PRICE home isn’t just built for today – it’s future-ready, meeting rigorous standards for efficiency and delivering long-term savings and value.
