Featured Reviews for Home Builders & Construction Companies in Philadelphia.

Buckminster Green LLC
Home Builders & Construction Companies in Philadelphia.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars29 June 2012
“Kenny and his team are not only very experienced builders, they are stewards of the environment. His team is perfect for any home owner looking for affordable, eco-friendly renovations. What I appreciate most about Kenny and his team is that they spend time educating their clients so that they can make informed decisions. Buckminster Green is not your average construction service. They are thoughtful, creative and most importantly, fun to work with. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to renovate, or add to their home in a earth friendly way.”

Creative Remodeling & Design
Home Builders & Construction Companies in Philadelphia.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars23 June 2012
“Jobs: Master bathroom remodel including building a shower, wall and floor tile, painting, electrical and plumbing. Kitchen backsplash tile installation. Project was completed on time and on budget. Design was excellent and implementation was great. Made improvments in the design as work progressed. Workers were very careful to minimize dirt and dust during demolition and construction. They went with us to tile and plumbing fixture stores to advise and help in the selection process. Was known and recommended by suppliers. We would definately recommend Creative Remodeling and Design for bathroom and kitchen remodeling.”
Dakota Dawn Delineation
Home Builders & Construction Companies in Philadelphia.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars6 November 2013
“Michael did an AMAZING job for us. One of the firms that we interviewed was an architect from the firm that designed the original job. He withdrew saying "your home is what it is, there's nothing that can be done to change it." Dakota Dawn gave us a whole new look with relatively minor exterior work. What they accomplished on the inside was remarkable. We would recommend them without reservation!”

“A standard of excellence combined with top rated customer service is the norm when dealing with Ed and Beth Mahoney. My wife and I have worked with them for over a year now an cannot say enough about their quality of work. Feel confident you are working with a top rated design/build firm.”
TATCOR Building & Remodeling
Home Builders & Construction Companies in Philadelphia.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars31 January 2014
“Steve Tatios from tatcor.com is first of all a gentleman who spent hours discussing my project before I even hired him. His ideas and dedication to detail was what I was looking for. In addition, I needed someone to design, draw and then take the project to completion. The work was outstanding in quality and detail. Anything we wanted to change or tweak, he was more than willing to do. The final project gets the "oohs and aahs" from friends one would hope for and our new basement is now the most fun and inviting part of the house. Multiple parts of the project were somewhat "out of the box" and Steve took to researching and handling the project. I highly recommend Tatcor.com. It is like a gourmet meal. It takes a few extra days but it is perfect when done.”
Sparti Mainline
Home Builders & Construction Companies in Philadelphia.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars10 April 2017
“Peter Economou is exceptionally professional and does an excellent job on budget and on time. His company totally renovated two bathrooms for us. Not only did he help us with our selection of materials that were appropriate for our project but he took great pride in making sure that the projects turned out as we wished and are both beautiful and functional. Sparti also replaced our deck a couple of years ago. This was also a great project. We highly recommend Sparti Construction.”

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 Philadelphia, PA 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 aPennsylvania 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?
