Partners in Vision: Crafting Exceptional Homes Together
Your Vision, Our Mission
At Martha’s Vineyard Construction Company (MVCC), we hold one guiding principle above all else: bringing the visions of architects and designers to life while fulfilling the dreams and lifestyle aspirations of our clients. Every MVCC home is a testament to our relentless dedication to superior craftsmanship, whether in bold design statements or the finest, most intricate details.
Deep Roots, Timeless Design
Founded by Colin Whyte in 1971, Martha’s Vineyard Construction Company has been a cornerstone of the island’s building community for decades. Now led by his daughters, our company remains a true family business, carrying forward Colin’s legacy of craftsmanship and integrity. Our team has been embedded in the fabric of the Martha’s Vineyard community for generations. We understand what harmonizes with—and what disrupts—the aesthetic of this unique island. This intimate knowledge is why so many of our clients rely on us to craft residences that are authentic to the distinctive culture of Martha’s Vineyard while remaining uniquely personal.
A synergy of Expertise & Trust
With more than five decades of experience in Vineyard construction, MVCC is the ideal partner for architects and designers seeking practical solutions and creative insights. We assemble teams of the Island’s top talent—from our skilled staff and Project Managers to expert landscape specialists and HVAC technicians—ensuring each project meets the highest standards of excellence.
We’re proud to have worked with some of the industry’s most distinguished architecture and design firms, collaboratively crafting many of Martha’s Vineyard’s most extraordinary homes. These partnerships are the foundation of our success and the driving force behind our commitment to excellence.
