Featured Reviews for Design-Build Contractors & Firms in Ottawa

Copperstone Kitchens and Renovations
Design-Build Contractors & Firms in Ottawa
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 3, 2014
“I’ve enjoyed working with Copperstone on many projects over the years. I find what sets them apart is their integrity. Meeting and exceeding expectations is of the utmost importance to them. Copperstone has created a tightly-knit team of individuals that work together to ensure as smooth a renovation as possible. It’s a pleasure to visit the jobsites, the atmosphere, the communication between everyone who is a part of the project is fantastic. As someone who is familiar with construction standards, I can say that the workmanship and attention to detail is top notch.”
Total Home
Design-Build Contractors & Firms in Ottawa
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsNovember 3, 2014
“Total Home has done several jobs for us over the years. From crown moulding, to built in custom shelves to our most recent project - a total makeover of our ensuite - which now has WOW appeal. Cindy Charbonneau helped me pick colours and select tile. With her partner, Gilbert Lutes, they planned the layout and those small details that make the difference. Gilbert co-ordinate the work of a couple of trades and completed the construction and tiling himself. We highly recommend them for your next project!”

JBR Contracting
Design-Build Contractors & Firms in Ottawa
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 13, 2023
“JBR gutted and redid my kitchen in Nepean. Their crew was respectful and efficient. They got the entire renovation done within my budget and timeline, being sure to leave me without a working kitchen for as little time as possible. I will be rehiring them for future projects.”
Lagois Design Build Renovate
Design-Build Contractors & Firms in Ottawa
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 13, 2015
“Herb Lagois and his staff helped my wife and I achive our dream retirement home/B and B more than the architect we had worked with for 6 months. Supportive, thorough, and always professional, their product was recognized by Ottawa builders with an award for Barrier-free design. The photos at www.323Wallace.com speak volumes about their work.”
Kairon Homes
Design-Build Contractors & Firms in Ottawa
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 19, 2022
“Our journey of building a house is not a easy one. We are grateful to have Kairon Homes by our side. Nav is very good at handling “our troubles”. We want to use some contractors of our own choice. He made it happen. Thinking back, we are not sure using our own guys are the best ideas. He was the I charge of the quotes verifying, making sure we are getting competitive quotes. All the quotes are transparent. He also smoothies out tasks between contractors. He enjoys what he does. Tasks he need to handle would be like a huge headache for me, he takes them with ease, professional and competence.”
Amsted Design-Build
Design-Build Contractors & Firms in Ottawa
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 18, 2014
“I have had the good pleasure of working with Amsted Design Build for almost 15 years on a wide range of projects. Their project supervision & construction teams are first rate, and they have provided my clients with many award winning results! They are a great choice for any renovation project.”
Denys Builds Designs Renovations
Design-Build Contractors & Firms in Ottawa
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 6, 2013
“I consulted Paul Denys about a bathroom renovation project and he provided good advice, a number of options and a general cost estimate. He was knowledgeable and his approach was conversational and low-key. Subsequently, Paul and his apprentice redid a ceiling at my home. Their work was excellent, with a new ceiling and moulding that is harmonious with the rest of the house. The decision relating to the moulding was collaborative. The cost and time to do the work were within the estimated range and I am very satisfied with the result.”
IK Home Improvement INC.
Design-Build Contractors & Firms in Ottawa
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 6, 2017
“The project was the complete renovation of a 30 year old side-split bungalow, including removal of walls to create a modern open look in the kitchen and living areas, the addition of an attic beam to compensate for the wall removals, addition of modern hardwood flooring throughout, and ceramic tiling in entranceway, mudroom, and bathrooms, and complete renovation and update of the bathrooms. Igor's work ethic, knowledge, attention to detail and ability to meet deadlines and budgets were exemplary! His willingness and ability to deliver beyond the original scope of the project without significantly impacting deadlines and budgets was appreciated! I highly recommend this professional!”
Casa Verde Construction
Design-Build Contractors & Firms in Ottawa
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 15, 2014
“Casa Verde's president Paul McElligott was very easy to work with. He would narrow down our choices knowing what we were looking for, which made the whole process much easier. The house was finished on time with great attention to detail. We would hire this company again, the workmanship is absolutely beautiful!”

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 Ottawa 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 Ottawa, ON 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, Ottawa 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 Ottawa, ON, 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 Ottawa 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 Ottawa 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?
