“Dear Mark, I wanted to let you know that we recently received our certificate of occupancy from Kootenai County for our house addition. This milestone was in no small part to your efforts throughout the process. I really appreciated your different alternative layout ideas for our addition. We thoroughly vetted our final concept which made moving forward much easier, knowing we did not have to look backwards wishing we had done something different. With that concept alternative selected, you prepared very clear and easy to read plans that facilitated a short review from the county. Finally, thank you for your patience during the design process. There were a small number of unforeseen circumstances that required a very short response time and extreme patience with our material supplier. My family anxiously moved into our new space and have no regrets regarding the final layout. Thanks again for your assistance with this process. Please feel free use me as a reference. Thanks again! Russell J. Leahy, P.E.”
Anderson Family Construction
Home Builders & Construction Companies in Fernwood.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars8 March 2019
“Anderson Family Construction built our home on acreage near Moscow, Idaho in 2018, and we are absolutely thrilled! We have a growing family, and really wanted a place that would incorporate a lot of very busy life. They modified the design to fit our family, incorporating some special features that were specific to us, including a foundation stone that has sentimental value to us, a butcher-block counter that used to be part of our family restaurant, and gorgeous built-in floor-to-ceiling bookcases in the large study, as I often work from home and own several thousand books. I was warned several times by friends who had built their homes that "building your own home is very stressful." The building process was the one element of this whole move that really wasn't stressful to us, and I think that is because of a very key ingredient that is somewhat rare in the homebuilding and construction industry: trust. It's not that there were zero bumps (though there were very few), but we had full confidence that AFC was made up of owners and employees of integrity. We had much of this confidence going in because we knew several of the crew, and they did not disappoint. The builders (from the earth movers, to the framers, to the drywallers, to the woodworkers) had obvious pride in a job well done. We weren't dealing with time-punchers, but a guild of craftsmen who delighted in solving problems and making beautiful results. AFC kept to the budget, did most of the build in 4 months, and most of all gave us a very high-quality, high-efficiency, cozy, elegant home. We like to say it is a "new home with an old soul," combining 21st-century latest in building technology with a classic, "farmhouse" design we love so much. I high recommend AFC for any construction or remodel work!”
Axiom Homes
Home Builders & Construction Companies in Fernwood.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars24 August 2016
“Although Axiom Homes is a custom home building company, they agreed to a master bathroom remodel during the winter months. The team helped with the new design and used cool technology call BuilderTrend to help see the whole project from start to finish. We picked out our finishes once the design was complete and permitted. All of the subcontractors that helped with the job were very courteous and professional. The team at Axiom Homes was always on top of the trades and keeping me up to date on the progress of the remodel. We would recommend Axiom Homes to anyone, although you have to build a new home with them now, they no longer have time for remodels. I guess that is a good problem to have. Bottom line: great company to work with and I would recommend them to build your new home- cause they did an amazing job on our master bath!”

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 Fernwood, ID 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 aIdaho 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?
