Featured Reviews for Vancouver Design-Build Firms

Kerr Construction and Design

Vancouver Design-Build Firms

Sep 29, 2013

“All the support posts for our car port were rotten and needed to be replaced. The estimator from Kerr came over and reviewed the project. We discussed my requirements: demolition, post replacement, cedar siding and plexiglass windows. The estimate was acceptable and I gave the project the go ahead. Shawn was the contractor for the project. He was very pleasant. We reviewed the job and discussed his suggestions, all of which were positive. Shawn raised some concerns after the demolition. This resulted in additional work and materials. I was very concerned about the overruns but after conversations with Shawn and Dave I agreed to proceed. The end result is excellent. I will use them for future projects and would recommend them to anyone reading this review.”

Intermind Design

Vancouver Design-Build Firms

Oct 27, 2016

“We hired Mila and her crew after admiring several of her award winning projects. After our first meeting with Mila we knew that her design ideas and style would match what we were looking for to renovate our home. Mila exceeded our expectations throughout the 4 month interior and exterior transformation of our home. She and her crew was always pleasant, punctual and professional. Mila was able to anticipate our needs and direct our focus to ensure we stayed within budget. She was excellent at communicating with the trades to make sure that everything was carried out as planned. She brought a tremendous amount of experience and knowledge to our project. She provided many suggestions that we hadn't thought of. We had a very strict budget and Mila managed to deliver more than expected within budget and timeframe. We have received lots of fantastic comments from friends and neighbours. We absolutely love our new home and we credit a lot of that to Mila's talent and hard work.”

Novell Design Build

Vancouver Design-Build Firms

Jan 21, 2013

“We have been dealing with Laurel and her design team for six months now and have found the experience to be satisfying -- and exciting. Laurel includes us in all aspects of the decision phase, right down to taking us out to meet the suppliers so we can make an informed choice. We look forward to the build phase of our project. Now we are well into the build phase of the project we can see the meticulous detail that Angelito and his crews put into the structure. We meet with them every other week, but we can also contact them at any time with questions or concerns. (update)We have now moved into our home and love it! It is so comfortable, and perfect for us. We are very happy with the quality of the work.”

My Upgrade

Vancouver Design-Build Firms

Mar 29, 2017

“Having built several homes before, we had our share of experiences with builders. But what we got was above and beyond. The amount of pre-planning, attention to details, and the one on one service in choosing all of the elements of the interior and exterior was impressive. Not only has Dragon Den Dev. Built our dream home, we also have an excellent friend to invest with.”

Peak Ventures Fine Custom Homes

Vancouver Design-Build Firms

Dec 11, 2015

“We had contracted Peak Ventures through False Creek Design group in Vancouver because we had just purchased a condo on the 14 th floor downtown. They were wonderful to work with and very professional.. We actually had to use them twice as we had a flood in the building after we moved in and once again were on time and within budget. A great team!”

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, Vancouver 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 Vancouver, 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 Vancouver 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 Vancouver 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?
