    HO'OKIPA Design & Construction
    Design-Build Contractors & Firms in Santa Barbara
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 23, 2020
    “We have used Scott for nearly 20 years on many projects. He is always honest, considerate, keeps you informed as to progress and has very specific and detailed billing. Too many projects to mention but we have had multi faceted things happening at once ( major and minor remodels). You won’t be disappointed.”
    Elizabeth Graham Design

    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 7, 2016
    “I have worked with Elizabeth on multiple projects and have always been thrilled with her design sense, her expert knowledge and her work ethic. I refer her to all my friends and clients. She is a true professional and a pleasure to work with!”
    Becker Studios
    Design-Build Contractors & Firms in Santa Barbara
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 6, 2012
    “WOW! Kirsten Becker and her team is absolutely AMAZING. She has great energy understood exactly what I wanted and surpassed my expectations. I feel so grateful to have worked with Becker Studios and would HIGHLY recommend hiring Becker Studios. ”
    Hahka Kitchens
    Design-Build Contractors & Firms in Santa Barbara
    Average rating: 4 out of 5 starsJuly 21, 2013
    “Ktichen renovation. First experience with remodeling. The Hahka team were professional and supportive. Designer Linda Billings was extremely accessible and helpful. Her suggestion to incorporate an island with the character of furniture is the statement piece that adds the "wow" factor to our kitchen. General contractor Randy Hahka very clearly has a personal interest in quality work. He strongly lobbied for the replacement of louvered pantry and laundry doors with doors that more closely matched the new cabinetry-although more costly, this was definitely the right decision from a design perspective. The construction team were skillful, friendly, honest and easy to work with. We did have a few whoopsies, but I understand this is par for the course with renovation projects and at the end, nothing was left unresolved. The team very clearly made great efforts to provide customer satisfaction. Job was not completed on time, mainly due to issues with pantry/laundry doors. Very happy with the results of our project.”
    DD Ford Construction
    Design-Build Contractors & Firms in Santa Barbara
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 30, 2013
    “Neumann Mendro Andrulaitis Architects has completed a number of custom residential projects with DD Ford Construction over the years - both new construction as well as remodels/additions. Doug Ford and his crew are team players, attentive to the client as well as details, budget, and schedule. We have found Doug's expertise particularly valuable during the design phases in our efforts to keep projects aligned with our clients' budget and expectations. Doug has assembled a highly talented team of craftsmen who execute our projects with quality and professionalism.”
    Andrea Schumacher Interiors
    Design-Build Contractors & Firms in Santa Barbara
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 4, 2012
    “We are working with Andrea on our new home. We have been very pleased working with her. While her designs are beautiful and unique, she is also great at working to customize designs to end on compromises between my husband and myself. We were initially overwhelmed with the process of hiring a designer, but Andrea quickly set us at ease. She also was completely willing to accommodate our desire to break the process down into many small projects--which is exactly what we needed! We would highly recommend her services!”
    C D B GROUP
    Design-Build Contractors & Firms in Santa Barbara
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 28, 2017
    “Brandon and the CDB Group helped us remodel our Jamie Slone Wines tasting room. They were efficient, on time and great with communication. Any challenges we incurred were effectively dealt with. They were reasonable, a pleasure to deal with and we'd use them again!”
    Santa Barbara Builders
    Design-Build Contractors & Firms in Santa Barbara
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 16, 2019
    “The guys did an amazing job designing and remodeling my home. They gave me and my wife a new kitchen that we absolutely love. They re-did the stairs with these custom cable railings that look like falling rain. They did the fireplace and crafted their own live edge mantle. They did so much to our home it's too much to list. I sold it (for a huge profit thanks to Santa Barbara Builders) and now I live in Texas. I like them so much I invited them to come with me and build us another home. I really considered quitting the Army to go into business flipping homes. It's not everyday you find such a great contracting outfit. I can't recommend them highly enough.”
    Allen Kitchen & Bath
    Design-Build Contractors & Firms in Santa Barbara
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 26, 2019
    “Allen Construction did an excellent job on our condominium remodel in Goleta. They helped us through the entire project including the budget, design, and build phase. We combined our ideas and wants and worked it all into a manageable budget. Allen Construction managed everything with the utmost attention to detail and professionalism. We did the remodel remotely from over 1500 miles away but we were kept up to date on everything daily by telephone, Skype, or email. We are extremely happy with the entire process and result. We highly recommend this company and would hire them again on another remodel without reservation.”
    Meckauer Design+Build, Inc.
    Design-Build Contractors & Firms in Santa Barbara
    Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 2, 2015
    “Robert Meckauer worked on several projects for us over the years. Our last project was a challenge, since our house was built in the 40's. We hired Robert to both do the Architect work as well as General Contractor. This was great for us, since he was able to keep the subcontractors on point and keep costs inside the budget. Even with changes we made, he was able to make our dream come true! He uses local talent and artists for finish carpentry and painting as well as local plumbers, tile and electricians. We are so happy with our project!”

    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 Santa Barbara 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 Santa Barbara, 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, Santa Barbara 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 Santa Barbara, 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 Santa Barbara 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 Santa Barbara 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?
