S D Newkirk Renovations, LLC
Design-Build Contractors & Firms in James City
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 30, 2013
“I had hired Mr. Newkirk to replace my deck. I had a wooden deck that was rotting. Mr. Newkirk developed and designed a fabulous patio area for me. My patio area now consists of pavers and flagstone, 2 levels. He also installed an excellent drainage system and some low voltage lighting. He had many wonderful ideas for future planning as well that included fire pit and fountains. He did an excellent job throughout the entire process from the design concept, to planning, to completing the project. I thoroughly enjoyed working with him on this project.”
Mark Hannula Construction, Inc
Design-Build Contractors & Firms in James City
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 19, 2014
“My husband and I hired Mark Hannula Construction to build our dream home in Beaufort, North Carolina. We had picked out the plans and envisioned living in this house for 16 years. I can truly say the house Mark and his team built is exactly as we imagined. Mark’s team went out of their way to ensure the important features of the house remained intact while working within our budget. We do not live in North Carolina so Mark’s team provided regular updates and skype meetings. His staff are professional, very organized and meticulous in their approach to the project. Nothing was missed. They also provided helpful suggestions that contributed to the success of the project. I would not hesitate to recommend Mark Hannula Construction and he would be my first choice in the event we built another home.”
Ty Gay Builders, Inc.
Design-Build Contractors & Firms in James City
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 29, 2016
“Ty's company remodeled a kitchen in our 45+ year old house. He and his crew took the kitchen down to the sheet rock, replaced flooring, cabinets, lighting, appliances and came in on time and on budget. He was easily accessible during the entire process and answered all questions and concerns with respect and reasonable answers or suggestions. We would definitely use him again. We have never worked with a contractor who we felt like listened to our needs/wants and worked to attain them in the manner in which he did, all while staying within our budget. He even had subs who worked on the weekend! We love our new kitchen and are enjoying cooking again!”

When building a new house, people often turn to architects to kick off the project. However, a different model is becoming quite popular: home design-build. Instead of dividing tasks between separate architecture and construction companies, you can hire a full-service James 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 James City, NC 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, James 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 other design-build architect to help create the exact look you want.

Before deciding on a residential design-and-build company in James City, NC, 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 James City design-build architects 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 home design-build contract can realistically strike the balance between the two.

Questions to ask a prospective James 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?
