Home Builders & Construction Companies in Blackwater.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars20 July 2016
“Cornerstone Build/Design Group provides outstanding design, building & contracting services. The company is highly professional: their estimates are fair & competitive; their communication with clients is superb; their construction skill and experience is outstanding; their construction team is professional and curteous; and their project completion time is reasonable. I recommend the group with enthusiasm and without reservation.”
Egan Construction
Home Builders & Construction Companies in Blackwater.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars21 January 2015
“We would highly recommend Egan Construction to anyone. We had them remodel our family room, extend our deck, add a screened porch, and design/build our dock. We are thrilled with the final product and the attention to detail. Marvin Egan is hands on, excellent as a communicator and an overall genuine person. We had an issue with the painters who stained our deck (not an Egan crew). Marvin had the decking replaced and re-did the entire job with his crew. We can't say enough about their customer service. It is above and beyond anything we have ever experienced. We will be enjoying our house and dock with family and friends for years to come!”

“Noah and Justine are incredible to work with. Their design work is amazing. They totally understand what you are trying to achieve and are very talented at being able to take your ideas and take it to a whole new level of design. Their craftsmanship by far is the best is our area.”
Limestone Construction Co
Home Builders & Construction Companies in Blackwater.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars27 June 2013
“Recently, Limestone Construction updated my 1930's bathroom. Not only is their attention to detail "5-star", their consideration to the needs of their client is above & beyond. My 98-yr-old mother lives with me & we had made arrangements ahead of time to be without a bathroom for 1-2 days (this is a 1-bath house). To my surprise, to make it more convenient for my mother, they removed & re-installed the toilet several times during the work process just for her convenience! In addition, their tools were always kept out of the way so she would be able to continue to navigate with her walker through our small cottage home. The job took a day longer than expected & added additional cost, but this was not a surprise, considering the age of the house. The original dark, dirty, hard-to-clean bathroom is now a bright, sparkling example of 1930's style with 2013 convenience! Limestone Construction also built a laundry room onto my cottage that looks original to the house. They are the only ones who will ever do any future work at my home!”

When building a new house, people often turn to architects to kick off the project. However, a different model is becoming quite popular: design-build. Instead of dividing tasks between separate architecture and construction companies, you can hire a full-service firm to design and build your entire Blackwater, VA project, from initial sketches through final construction. Learn more about how to choose the right design-build construction for your home project below:

What is a design-build firm?


Design-build companies take on the responsibilities of architects, contractors and construction companies, all under one roof. These full-service firms focus on a streamlined 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, design-build firms are able to overlap the design and construction phases of the project, which oftens 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 design-and-build firm, 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 aVirginia design-builder who specializes 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-and-build contract can realistically strike the balance between the two.

Questions to ask a prospective design-builder:


  • How long have you been in the 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?
