About

Bonitt Builders is an award-winning custom home builder and remodeler based in Northern Virginia. We are committed to delivering the highest quality to our clients.

Over the past 27 years we have assembled the most talented crew of craftsman and subcontractors in the area to work on our projects, and that work has been recognized for its excellence by the American Institute of Architects, as well by national publications such as Custom Home Magazine, Town and Country Magazine, Home Magazine, The Washingtonian, and Residential Architect Magazine.

Our commitment to quality requires us to limit the number of projects we take on. If you are considering a project that demands only the best, consider us. Our portfolio of projects range from contemporary to traditional and speak to the multiple talents of our crew, staff, and all the wonderful people who work with us. Our experience can give you the peace of mind that your project will be well managed, supervised, and finely crafted. Ultimately, our biggest reward is the satisfaction that our clients and their families have in enjoying their extraordinary new spaces.

About the Owner, Murray Bonitt

We could be spending a lot of time together, so it’s important that you know something about the guy whose name is on the door.

Sawdust and sweat…I remember the first time I was exposed to them and became instantly addicted.  I was home in Joplin, Missouri, for spring break from the University of Missouri and I got a job assisting a carpenter working on a McDonald’s restaurant. We built a new cedar fence around the restaurant patio area.  The carpenter was a wizard with his tools, and I can still remember the sense of satisfaction that I had when I stood back and admired our work. That summer, I knew I’d find a way to build a career that would give me that same sense of satisfaction every day.

Twenty-seven years after I started Bonitt Builders, I look back and trace our success to that first experience.  At times it’s hard for me to believe how far we’ve come.  From my early days of working on people’s basements to building and remodeling some of the finest homes in Northern Virginia, our commitment to quality has garnered the award-winning success that enables us to proudly proclaim that “we build it better.”  We will bring the highest commitment to quality to each project.

About the Crew

A commitment to quality is valuable only if your crew can deliver on such a promise. Bonitt Builders has identified and retained the finest talent in the business and our crew is our single greatest asset.

My philosophy on putting together a crew is simple:  find the best and hire them; seek out the best subcontractors and hire them. Check out what a few of our clients have to say on our testimonials page.

“There is a dedication on the part of every member of the Bonitt Builders crew and their subcontractors.  Having worked with them on residential projects for over ten years, I can attest to the breadth and depth of their knowledge and experience. Their pride in their work comes straight from Murray, whose insistence on perfection can drive everyone crazy, but when it’s all done, we are all so proud of the work we achieved because he pushed us so hard. Their relationship with me, as the client’s interior designer, has always been collegial and positive, and that attitude results in the very best outcome for the client.” (Frede Ottinger, Interior Designer)
