About Underdog Construction

Underdog Construction is a residential builder focused on quality, communication, and thoughtful construction. Owner Wade Cedar brings years of experience managing complex residential projects and understands the planning required for ADUs.
With recent changes in Massachusetts law, ADUs present new opportunities for homeowners. We help clients navigate the process clearly and confidently.

We approach ADUs as turnkey projects. From the initial conversation to the final inspection, we manage the process so homeowners do not feel overwhelmed.

Available in Newburyport, Merrimac and Groveland. Recent changes to Massachusetts law have widened where ADUs are allowed, but siting, septic capacity and local review still differ town by town.
