Uncarved Block focuses on building custom new homes in the Berkshires.  All of our projects include various energy-efficiency features, such as superinsulation, net zero energy, or Passive House requirements.  Many of our projects are timber framed, and we offer the opportunity to be trained in traditional timber frame techniques.  We have several exciting projects coming up, and the opportunity for advancement in skills and position.  Work is full time, year-round.  You can see our work at www.uncarvedblockinc.com.
