About Us

Every home has the potential to be something great.
Once the finishing touches are complete and the workmen are gone, your house becomes a home. A home created especially for you—with you—a place where life unfolds, where families are raised, where friends feel welcome to drop by.

Naturally, you want this place to be extraordinary.
You want it built not just for how it looks when it’s finished, but also for how it will look for years to come.

American Dimensions is a design-build company led by Don Federle that transforms your vision for a home into something great.

So many builders focus on getting the job done as quickly and as cheaply as possible.
As a design-build company, we focus on something much more important—the finished product. A home that is architecturally correct, expertly constructed, rich in detail, and energy efficient. In fact, we build energy efficient features into every home we build—features verified to give you freedom from high energy bills for decades to come.

While the quality of our work is evident in these photographs, images alone don’t tell the whole story. What you can’t see— unless you listen to our customers—are hundreds of smaller stories about how the home was designed and built, the materials used, the care taken to get things right, the potential mistakes identified early and avoided, and the client’s peace of mind when they knew everything was under control.

We have spent more than 20 years designing, remodeling, and building traditional homes throughout Western Connecticut in collaboration with our clients. We’re one of the only design-build firms that takes a truly collaborative approach to homebuilding. Whether we’re creating new plans or modifying existing plans, our deep understanding of design and construction principles means you can trust in the process at every step of the way.

Bring us your vision of what you want your home to look like. Let us work with you to build something great.
