    True Home Builders
    Design-Build Contractors & Firms in Orange County
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 31, 2020
    “My husband and I chose True Home Builders to remodel our home and we couldn't be more satisfied with the entire experience. We worked with Ami and Michelle during the planning process and they really knew how to guide us on the right layout and design for our lifestyle and budget. From planning to execution we couldn't be happier with the results. The entire team were professional, efficient and went above and beyond to make us happy. We highly recommend using True Home Builders as your design and build partner. Thank you for our beautiful home!”

    “We hired OC Builders for a full Kitchen remodel and an installation of a 20’ sliding door. When we met our contractor, Moe, he went over everything in detail and answered all of our questions. Moe was happy to give advice on materials and design but was also fine working with our design. It was a nice balance. We’ve had mixed experiences with contractors on smaller projects in the past but we’re so glad we hired OC for this project. Everything went as expected and there were no surprises. The original quote was pretty close to what the final charges were and the timeline went very smoothly. Moe was extremely communicative and addressed any issue we had in a timely manner. The site was always left very clean every day and the workmen were very professional. We are finished now and loving everything about our beautiful open kitchen and large new doors that open to our back yard. We will not hesitate to hire OC Builders again for future projects.”

    “I've had the pleasure of working on a number of Scott's projects for several years now and can honestly say that he's an amazing contractor! As a kitchen and bath designer who's worked with many builders in Southern California, there are very few I would enthusiastically recommend and Scott Hess is one of them. First, I truly appreciate that he understands the need for a design professional's input on his high end projects; his attention to detail, organized approach and high quality workmanship always lead to a impressive end result; but mostly, his upbeat attitude and respect for all who are involved in the project, make the process so much easier and problem-free. I know you will be in good hands.”

    James David Custom Homes
    Design-Build Contractors & Firms in Orange County
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 4, 2015
    “We hired James (JDL Construction) to do numerous projects on our home, including a very large outdoor pergola and several wood finishing projects (including painting) inside our home. We were extremely happy with both the quality of the work his team did and the professional manner in which he and his team always conducted themselves. My husband and I are both perfectionists and really appreciated James's great attention to detail. They also finished within the promised time frame, which I believe is very rare in the world of construction! As a mom at home with young kids during the project, I also really appreciated how friendly, polite, and considerate his whole team was. They were all a pleasure to work with and I'd highly recommend them to anyone.”
    Sea Pointe Design & Remodel
    Design-Build Contractors & Firms in Orange County
    Average rating: 4 out of 5 starsMarch 1, 2014
    “Can recommend Sea Pointe w/reservation. The end result was just what I wanted...getting there was somewhat of a financial surprise. Originally, I asked that the master bath remodel be consistent w/other (3) bathrooms (Siematic cabinets, imported Spanish tile). Two walls were taken down to studs and shower stall removed. I had assumed new shower doors were included since shower was torn out and this was a remodel...it did not (+$ for glass doors). (What average home owner would know that shower doors are considered "fixtures" & "fixtures" were not included in Sea Pointe's estimate.) I had assumed that my baseboards would be tile (consistent w/my other bathrooms, as originally requested). Specific baseboard material not identified in estimate (+$ for baseboard tile). Bottom line...stand in front of your wall and identify each and every detail and make sure it is specified in Sea Pointe's est.”
    Opulent Design Build
    Design-Build Contractors & Firms in Orange County
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 16, 2017
    “These guys are one of the best building and design firms in the industry. They operate under complete transparency and assist in the design process to meet budget. Most experience I've had with designers and architect firms is that they either design your project way out of budget, making it impossible for the builder, or their designs look terrible and they blame it on budget. Not the case with Eddie and his team. Top quality designs that can meet any budget and complete communication that meet expectations every time. I love these guys and have referred everyone I know to them!!”
    Streamline Construction

    “We hired Streamline Construction to perform a bathroom remodel. The project was completed prior to the promised due date, and the result was excellent. The workers were respectful, knowledgeable, and went out of their way to accommodate our needs.”

    “Jim is a quality builder with a strong aesthetic sense. And he's willing to move as quickly as possible, which was an important factor in keeping costs down in this inflating economy. He was also very collaborative with us and our design ideas. Put that all together and we highly recommend him. We thought our new house-- a 1950s cottage-- would just need "a bit of work." It turned into a major project. We were so fortunate to have Jim on our side, figuring out ways to deal with each of the unpleasant surprises that were being uncovered-- bearing beams that were cut off so they didn't reach the wall, clogged drain lines, disappearing water lines, a gas line that had no connection to gas, and on and on. Of course, those surprises expanded the budget, but Jim was really focused on keeping these surprise costs under control. The bright spot there was that with each new piece of bad news, Jim was always able to propose a solution aimed at keeping the costs of the fixes as budget-friendly as possible. A bonus to having Jim as our contractor is that he's a skilled wood workers, so the storage benches for both the front and side patios, the mantle, the floating shelves and even the utilitarian storage shelves in the garage were all done by him. We are particularly pleased with the mantle! If you want a quality job, done on time, and to a high standard, he's the guy you want to hire.”

    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 Orange County 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 Orange County, 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, Orange County 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 Orange County, CA, 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 Orange County 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 Orange County 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?
