Featured Reviews for Design-Build Contractors & Firms in University City

Design Studio West
Design-Build Contractors & Firms in University City
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 28, 2013
“I'm fortunate to have known Dana and Lee for nearly 7 years. Their reputation speaks for itself. If you haven't done so already, visit their beautiful showroom on Girard Ave. The products are high quality. So many of the displays demonstrate how you can have a gorgeous, functional kitchen in small spaces.”

“Gregg Cantor of Murray Lampert Construction is a true professional in the residential design and remodeling business. I am an architect, designing homes in San Diego for over 15 years. We have worked on several projects with Gregg and would not hesitate to recommend Murray Lampert Construction. Their attention to detail, budget and time frame set them apart in this competitive market. Gregg is hands on with every project to make sure it is done right and to or above the clients expectations.”
Mathis Custom Remodeling
Design-Build Contractors & Firms in University City
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 2, 2013
“Review of Mathis Custom Remodeling: We contracted with Phil Mathis in August, 2004 to completely remodel our master bath. The price was competitive and the workmanship was excellent. We selected Phil to remodel our second bath in November, 2006 - a major undertaking. Good price and another excellent job! Just recently (January, 2013), we had Phil modernize our living room, dining room, hallway and entryway. Not only does Phil do excellent work, he has also provided us with design ideas and advice. We are very satisfied with his results. We plan to continue to work with Phil in the future. Adrienne & Joe Liermann San Carlos/Lake Murray”
Marrokal Design & Remodeling
Design-Build Contractors & Firms in University City
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 6, 2013
“We raised our family in the same neighborhood over 26 years. Our home yearned for updating. Some goals were: eliminate fall risks from multi level flooring, make downstairs bathroom senior safe, open up family room and brighten up downstairs with new doors and windows. We chose Marrokal because of their impeccable reputation. We did not seek other bids because ours would be the 7th Marrokal remodel project in our small cul-de-sac. All our neighbors praised their work. The Design Team exceeded our expectations and incorporated creative innovations into our home AND helped us stay within our budget. The production phase required a bit of oversight, but this job, remodeling all of the downstairs, was completed on time in 5 1/2 months. We lived in our home during the project and Marrokal always kept the job site clean! The caliber of subs was top notch. The final product turned out fabulous! Finally, we rarely need to utilize our extended warranty due to the quality of workmanship, nothing breaks! There is no doubt in our minds that we will hire Marrokal for future projects. You should too!!”
Flagg Coastal Homes

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 9, 2012
“We have retained Flagg Coastal Homes to complete a remodel of our guest house located on our property at 160 G Avenue, Coronado.. We selected Flagg because of their experience in completing "Historic" renovations in Coronado. Our home was designated a Historic Resource in 2011. Flagg will be providing design, permitting and construction services. Flagg has already sourced "historically accurate" windows, doors and shutters to complement the existing house.”
Charco DESIGN & BUILD Inc.
Design-Build Contractors & Firms in University City
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 3, 2012
“Complete remodel of my bathroom. This bathroom is very small and, therefore, presented some real challenges. They were extremely knowledgable about the specifications needed to bring my bathroom up to code here in California. They listened to what I wanted done and have not only implemented those ideas, but added some I hadn't even considered. They are extremely professional and wonderful to work with.”
A K Smith Architects
Design-Build Contractors & Firms in University City
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 4, 2014
“Kent of AK Smith Architects has been such a pleasure to work with. We hired him to re-design the face of our home to give it a craftsman style look. He welcomed collaboration and really took note of our needs and request. We were extremely pleased when he presented multiple design ideas to us that not only brought our vision to life, but also incorporated other aspects and ideas into our home that would add extra value and still remain within our budget. Kent has gone above and beyond his design abilities and has helped through every step of the process, from working with the city, getting permits/approvals and even acquiring quotes to make sure we don't go over budget. Furthermore, as a first time homebuyer it could be a bit intimidating at times to get through a complete remodel; yet Kent Smith has been extremely patient with all my questions and amazingly comforting and reassuring through every step. He also has complied a reliable, affordable, and determined team that will get the job done in a timely manner. I'd recommend AK Smith Architects and his team to anyone.”

“I had the most amazing experience with Brikho Construction & Developments. They built out my restaurant and did a phenomenal and clean job. Rami updated me with the developments with every step of the way and made sure everything was done perfectly the first time around. Very professional to say the least. I own a few restaurants and going with this construction company has been one of the best business decisions I’ve made. Definitely hiring them again for my next job.”

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 University City 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 University City, CA 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, University City design-build services 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.

Questions to ask a prospective University City design-builder:


  • How long have you been in the house 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?
