Featured Reviews for Minneapolis, MN Design-Build Firms

Aspect Design Build
Minneapolis, MN Design-Build Firms
April 11, 2016
“We recently built a house with Aspect Design Build, and were thrilled at the outcome. The team was professional, easy to communicate with, and very timely. The build even finished ahead of schedule. Shaun has great vision and insight that saved us money and still got us the look we desired. We were also happy with their transparent build fee model, as we knew they were working for us in the most efficient manner possible.”
Apex Construction Management
Minneapolis, MN Design-Build Firms
June 3, 2017
“Apex was wonderful to work with from estimate through design to completion. Our project was remodeling a small guest bathroom (7'8" x 7'3") in a 110 year old house. We wanted a bath with modern amenities but in a style that was period-appropriate to our home. We replaced the shower/tub combo with a walk-in shower. The project was completed as scheduled and within budget. Workers showed up on time and cleaned up at the end of each day. Everyone was friendly, respectful, responsive, and professional. We felt they really listened and understood our vision for the project. Many thanks to the Apex crew, especially JB, Matt, Tony, and Steve.”

“Shelly Rae is fabulous in assisting you with all of you home design needs. From paint, kitchen backsplash, granite, fabric, and window covering choices, to the perfect area rug or place to hang your favorite wall art. Her contractor recommendations are also top notch and provided professional service.”
Mom's Design Build
Minneapolis, MN Design-Build Firms
March 4, 2013
“As a fence and railing contractor we have worked with many builders over the years. Working on home remodel projects with Bellawood has been a great experience. From the preconstruction meet to the completion, the communication, attention to details, workmanship and the crews make this company a first class operation. Everyone is extremely professional and take a great deal of pride in every project I have been involved with.”
Castle Building & Remodeling
Minneapolis, MN Design-Build Firms
September 23, 2013
“Katie is a very talented and knowledgeable designer and was a pleasure to work with. Everyone else I dealt with at Castle was also very professional and pleasant. Their bid was lower than their competitors' and they did the work completely on budget and completely on time. I'll use them next time, and I recommend them to everyone.”
Great Northern Builders, LLC.
Minneapolis, MN Design-Build Firms
February 20, 2018
“Great Northern Builders (GNB) did an awesome job on remodeling my home. Kitchen of my dreams. Finished my unfinished basement with a new bedroom, bathroom and office. New furnace and A/C. Roof on house and garage. Siding on garage. GNB was very accommodating as I work from home. It always felt like I was their only project. Held my hand through the entire desing process. Always timely responses to my endless questions. Id hire them again in a heartbeat. Cant image working with amyone else.”
R|House Design Build
Minneapolis, MN Design-Build Firms
October 26, 2015
“We are so happy with the way our new basement turned out! Ryan and Molly came up with a great plan and design and gladly made the modifications we wanted. The project was well organized and we were kept in the loop as far as when things would be happening. Joe was a great project manager and always got right back to us when we had questions or wanted a change made. The contractors who came through were all good and worked fast. We went from a basic unfinished basement to a beautiful family room / game room in just a few months. Our whole family is enjoying the new space! Ryan, Molly, and Joe have a lot of experience in the business and were able to answer all of my questions and worries about the project. They were all very professional and really great to work with. I would recommend them to anyone with a building or remodeling project!”
DiGiacomo Homes & Renovation
Minneapolis, MN Design-Build Firms
August 23, 2012
“We hired DiGiacomos for our kitchen remodel and had a set budget. Rocky and Gigi came in with great ideas, helped design a plan that we loved and looked for ways to cut costs to keep the project within our budget. Their knowledge of trends and the little fun details they incorporated in the plan have made the kitchen our favorite place in the whole house. We love the outcome and would work with them again in a heartbeat!”
III AD
Minneapolis, MN Design-Build Firms
July 31, 2013
“My design + build firm had a chance to collaborate on a project with IIIAD recently and I couldn't have been more impressed with the high level of professionalism, creativity and integrity they displayed. Also notable was their admirable work ethic and careful consideration when problem solving. In particular, the firm's owner, Jono Query, has an amazing breadth and depth of experience and knowledge. He is extremely dedicated to his work, fiercely creative and his attention to detail is unmatched. He is a professional's professional. You need only look closely at finish details in pictures of his work here on houzz or at his website to appreciate this. Many architects don't manage their own building - because Jono does, I believe his sense of design and construction inform each other, making him extremely well-suited to creating the kind of considered spaces I know his clients value him for. I would recommend IIIAD wholeheartedly to both homeowners and industry pros considering working with them.”
Divine Custom Homes
Minneapolis, MN Design-Build Firms
January 28, 2014
“I work for a wholesale flooring company that supplies Divine Custom Homes their flooring products. I enjoy working for Divine because his homeowners are given a more then fair allowance to spend on floorcovering. So many of the OTHER builders I work with offer their customers allowances that are not consistant with the value of the homes that are built. As a consumer myself, I feel good about being able to sell quality products that Divines customers expect and Deserve!!”

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, Minneapolis 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 Minneapolis, MN, 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 Minneapolis 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 Minneapolis design-builder:


  • How long have you been in the design-build construction business?
  • How many projects like mine have you completed?
  • Who will be working on the project?
  • Are the workers employees or subcontractors?
  • Can you provide me with references?
  • Who is your designer, and what are his or her qualifications?
  • Are your employees licensed and insured?
  • How do you charge, and what does that include?
  • Can you give me a written estimate?
  • What do your services include?
  • When can this job get done?
  • What happens when cost exceeds the budget? What about changes to materials or labor pricing?
  • What will I need to provide?
  • Are there any important considerations or concerns you foresee with this project?
