Featured Reviews for Downers Grove, IL Design-Build Firms

Innovative Design Concepts Inc

Downers Grove, IL Design-Build Firms

February 29, 2016

“I highly recommend Innovative Design Concepts for any organization or individual seeking outstanding architectural/design services. Our organization worked with Chris over a three year period to design a major renovation to our structure which was over 60 years old and was severely outdated. Chris worked with us to prepare a new site plan, exterior elevations, and floor plan, including a 2D color rendering of the project. Throughout our engagement with Chris, we found him to be extremely knowledgeable and resourceful in addressing our concerns and some of the constraints of our project (space, cost). He came to us with creative solutions and ultimately the final product was visually stunning and exactly what we needed from a functional perspective. We also found Chris and his colleagues to be extremely responsive to our questions and needs, and very open to our feedback. IDCI's professionalism and outstanding customer service really made the design process smooth and enjoyable. I would not hesitate to hire IDCI again. Thank you Chris!”

“Silver Leaf Construction is a professional company that provided great service with upscale finishes and truly listened and cared about what their client was looking for. Silver Leaf renovated four bathrooms and the kitchen at the funeral home we purchased last fall in Palos Heights.”

“Lifestyle Homes is a single-woman run business. Mia is the owner and she has great vision as well as technical know-how. She values fine work, high function and great design. She emphasizes the client's needs and lifestyle, and works to meet that while infusing exciting ideas and possibilities.”

Luxe Showroom, Ltd.

Downers Grove, IL Design-Build Firms

September 24, 2012

“I hired Luxe Showroom Ltd. for two sequential projects: a kitchen remodel and bathroom renovation. I can't say enough about how accomodating they were during both projects. If there was a need for a change or modification they made it happen. Nothing was too much trouble. The kitchen renovation included replacement of all cabinetry, granite countertops, sink, backsplash, and some appliances and electrical work. They came up with a way to creatively re-use some of the existing cabinets and counters as a craft/work bench in the basement, which required some challenging carpentry work. The bathroom renovation was a complete rip out and reinstall. The designer and craftsmen worked with my 16 year old daughter to come up with a modern yet functional design, with totally custom tilework and innovative lighting. They were totally flexible in allowing us to do as much or as little of the sourcing and work as we wanted. Any minor glitches were dealt with promptly and effectively and without controversy.Budget estimates were met, and adjusted fairly if changes were significant. Overall, I would recommend them in a heartbeat to anyone looking for professional, reliable and creative design and construction services.”

Clairmont, Ltd.

Downers Grove, IL Design-Build Firms

August 7, 2014

“Pat Franz and his entire Clairmont, Ltd. team were exceptional. My husband and I are thrilled with the design but, most importantly, the entire remodeling process was smooth... thanks to Pat. He patiently worked with us to perfect a design that was both within our budget and met our desires. Even though a third-party designer made a critical measurement error, Pat was able to quickly think of an ingenious idea and executed on the new design immediately. We couldn't have been happier with the professional, clean, and efficient crew also. We would eagerly recommend Clairmont, Ltd. for any and all projects.”

FBC Remodel

Downers Grove, IL Design-Build Firms

The Walker Group, Ltd.

Downers Grove, IL Design-Build Firms

August 24, 2017

“We began working with Janet Frasca of The Walker Group in early 2015 on some home modernization projects and have worked with her extensively over the past year on renovating our entire home after a house fire. Janet has skillfully guided us through projects that range from selecting fixtures, paint colors, flooring, bathroom tile, furniture, window treatments, and accessories, to working as our general contractor to reconfigure room layouts and oversee jobs like crown, kitchen cabinet, and light fixture installation, and painting the entire first level of our home. A natural born leader and innovator, Janet has confidently and efficiently led all of our projects and at the same time has never been above working with us on the nitty gritty details. She works diligently to understand and cater to your personal style and preferences. The Walker Group's subcontractors have always been top-notch, dependable, and kind. Janet and The Walker Group have been instrumental in helping us rebuild our dream home. I highly recommend them and won't hesitate to call on them for future projects.”

Illinois Designers & Builders INC.

Downers Grove, IL Design-Build Firms

March 29, 2016

“We changed contractors after starting our remodeling project with an addition and hired Illinois Design and Builders. Darius was able to jump right in and take over. He is very professional and knowledgeable. I appreciate the fact that he is flexible to changes we make from the blueprints and he is able to give us insight from his experience. The overall project has been pleasant working with him, he is always on time to meet with us and communicates well (our other contractor would take days to respond to a call or email).”

Synergy Builders Inc.

Downers Grove, IL Design-Build Firms

October 28, 2012

“Synergy Builders came up with a great design idea for our kitchen. We had a challenging layout, and they worked for months to get things just right. They were on time and on budget with the work. The staff offered many valuable ideas and helped us see our vision become reality. The quality of the work was excellent. They have a great attention to detail and aim to please. I highly recommend Synergy Builders.”

Normandy Remodeling

Downers Grove, IL Design-Build Firms

June 29, 2012

“We are midway through a major renovation with Normandy Remodeling and would rate the planning process and project at the highest level, so far. Our architect, Vince Weber, has been outstanding to work with. From the start, we felt comfortable with Vince and choose to work with Normandy mainly because of him. He was patient, flexible and really listened to what we wanted to do and helped us design the home that would fit our lifestyle. Not having any renovation experience, Vince has been instrumental in helping us throughout the planning and design process. Because he understands our vision, we trust the selections he presents us with and feel confident that the overall outcome will come together beautifully. Al Lovas, our Superintendent, has been great to work with as well. He has been flexible and accommodating with changes we have made and always available when needed. Our project is on time, making great progress and looks amazing so far. We would and have highly recommended Vince and Normandy to several friends and neighbors.”

When building a new house, people often turn to architects to kick off the project. However, a different model is becoming quite popular: design-build. Instead of dividing tasks between separate architecture and construction companies, you can hire a full-service Downers Grove design-and-build company to complete your entire project, from initial sketches through final construction. Learn more about how to choose the right design-build pros in Downers Grove, IL for your home project below:

What is a design-build firm?

Design-build firms take on the responsibilities of architects, contractors and construction companies, all under one roof. These full-service firms focus on a streamlined design-build process — from the initial design to the estimating phase to physical construction — in the hope of creating an efficient experience for both the client and the company. Because the entire project is happening within one company, Downers Grove design-build firms are able to overlap the design and construction phases of the project, which often speeds up the project significantly. In addition, these firms work to minimize risks for the project owner through single-point responsibility contracts. However, depending on the firm, you may still want to contact an interior designer or architect to help create the exact look you want. Here are some related professionals and vendors to complement the work of design-build firms: Interior Designers & Decorators, Landscape Architects & Landscape Designers, Architects & Building Designers, Photographers.

Before deciding on a residential design-and-build company in Downers Grove, IL, think about what you want from your new home. Do you want a large kitchen for entertaining? Do you need several bedrooms for children and guests? Do you want a finished basement for extra space or storage? Look for Downers Grove design-builders that specialize in the areas you're looking for. Budget is obviously a determining factor in the outcome of your project. To make sure you stay within your means, consider making a must-have list and a wish list. Gauge where the estimates are falling to determine which design-build contract can realistically strike the balance between the two.

Questions to ask a prospective Downers Grove design-builder:
