Featured Reviews for Home Builders & Construction Companies in Columbus.

TLC Design/Build LLC
Home Builders & Construction Companies in Columbus.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars3 January 2013
“Dec. 3, 2012 Dear Les, The new columns and railings look great! We had been planning to replace the columns and add handrails for quite a while but it took us forever to get to it. When I asked my daughter-in-law (who is a realtor) for a recommendation, with a moment's hesitation she recommended you. We are so glad she did. Your promptness was the first good sign, and from the first drawings to the completion of the project everything went smoothly. One other thing that really impressed my husband and me was that you always returned phone calls and emails right away, and I don't have to tell you how rare that is among contractors. Thanks for a job well done!”

“The ladies at L & M are wonderful! They are extremely easy to work with and even through the experience of your home being torn apart and in disarray, you feel like every detail is being taken care of completely. They think of everything at every step of the process. This was my first experience using a designer, and I was amazed at how well they observed my home, my tastes, my style (which I had no idea what "style" I was, as it seemed like I liked many). They listened carefully to my ideas, my concerns, my likes and dislikes. When they came back with their design ideas to present to me, they'd nailed it on the head! I loved every single thing and noticed how they incorporated my likes & favorite things into the total look. They also made me feel totally comfortable talking to them about any little concern. I absolutely love what they transformed my home into. I would use them again in a heartbeat!”

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 Columbus, GA 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 aGeorgia 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?
