Featured Reviews for Home Builders & Construction Companies in Leonore.

CL Design-Build, Inc.
Home Builders & Construction Companies in Leonore.
Average rating: 4 out of 5 stars27 May 2014
“We began working with Cheryl on plans for our vacation home when we originally hired her as an architect. After taking the plans to several builders, her company as well, her bid was competitive and we felt she would do best at building our vision of our home. Cheryl's team worked through this horrible past winter and our house was pretty much finished on time with little issues. We enjoyed working with Cheryl and her team and are very happy with their finished product. At the end of the build we really appreciated Cheryl's willingness to respond to our schedule needs and overall understanding of how everyone was impacted by this winter. We would recommend CL Design-Build for architectural plans and construction.”

“We were fortunate enough to partner with Ed on an addition and remodel to our home and couldn't be happier with the finished product. Ed and his team delivered the highest level of craftsmanship and quality and his design aesthetic is truly impeccable. Ed's out of the box thinking and unique vision have transformed our home! We strongly recommend Ed Saloga Design Build for any new construction or remodeling project.”

“Kathy and Ed were great to work with. They understood our requirements and the limitations of our budget. They were knowledgeable and meticulous. They also have the tools to show renderings of the future design outcomes. Will consult with them again on our next project.”

“We hired Will to design a family friendly walk out basement. He spent the time getting to know our family and our design tastes that made it possible for him to create a unique and comfortable space that everyone loves. The final product is amazing and done to perfection! His experience and ability to design made this project a huge success.”
O'Neal Builders, Inc.
Home Builders & Construction Companies in Leonore.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars11 March 2013
“O'Neal Builders was a pleasure to work with--from start to finish. We hired this firm to build our house and could not be happier with our choice. JIm O'Neal has assembled a wonderful staff. Jim and his staff were always available for questions and/or concerns. Craftsmanship is key with O'Neal. We were delighted to work with their designer, Amy. She led us through the maze of selection meetings so that we were never overwhelmed by the amount of choices necessary for an entire house. She helped us to stay in our budget, while offering suggestions on available options. We always appreciated her suggestions for "more affordable options" that looked fantastic. We can't wait to move into our new 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 Leonore, IL 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 aIllinois 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?
