Featured Reviews for Home Builders & Construction Companies in Cedar Rapids.

Rocca Custom Homes
Home Builders & Construction Companies in Cedar Rapids.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars1 April 2014
“The Mansion collaborated with Rocca Custom Homes for a parade home in June of 2013. Their high quality construction has an artistic edge that makes it stand apart from the crowd. They use innovative materials that are both beautiful and functional. Kimberlee and Kevin were very professional and easy to work with. They openly communicated projected completion dates to make our staging process more efficient. They were also thoughtful collaborators, making the parade home a showcase of both their work and our design.”

“Bruce built a custom bath cabinet & matching mirror, as well as building in a medicine cabinet and doors on the linen cabinet. Very nice work. Thanks Bruce!”
Oak Tree Homes
Home Builders & Construction Companies in Cedar Rapids.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars28 January 2015
“Oak Tree Homes completed a remodel and addition onto our old farm house (built in the 1800's). We also had them draw up a recommendation/design, which was different (and much better) than our original thoughts. Dan and all of his employees were very easy to work with, approached the project with organization and detail, and overall we were very happy with the project from start to finish. They promised to complete our project quickly, and stuck to that promise. We would recommend them and have them do work again!”
Rob Phipps Building and Design Inc
Home Builders & Construction Companies in Cedar Rapids.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars1 September 2016
“Robb and his crew designed and transformed an unfinished basement into our favorite space. Renee Funderburk, of Surroundings designed a place that accommodated pool and ping pong tables and separate spots for television viewing, fireplace lounging and a bar as well as a bedroom and bath. She, as was Robb, very patient and responded quickly and professionally to questions and the inevitable issues that arise with a building project. The craftsmen who built, painted, installed tile, carpet and fixtures ...everyone was exceptionally skilled, respectful, professional. They came when they said they would and did excellent work. I never felt it necessary to be present when they worked because I knew they would get it right. Because of the work Robb, Renee and crew did in our basement, we subsequently employed them to change out countertops in our kitchen as well as other smaller projects. We would not hesitate to call on them again...whether it was for a minor renovation or a new house.”

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 Cedar Rapids, IA 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 aIowa 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?
