WHAT IS DESIGN-BUILD?
Design-build is a holistic remodeling method that brings every step of your project under one roof. Instead of hiring an architect, engineer, contractor, and designer separately, our team handles everything from start to finish. This means you don’t have to manage multiple contracts or coordinate between professionals. At Fine Home Contracting, you’ll work with one dedicated team aligned around your goals. Our integrated approach saves time, reduces stress, and ensures your space is thoughtfully designed and expertly built.
WHAT IS
DESIGN-BUILD?
Design-build is a modern approach to remodeling and construction that brings design and construction under one roof. Instead of managing separate contracts and teams for each phase, you work with one integrated team from start to finish. At Fine Home Contracting, this means a seamless experience with one shared vision, and a unified path to bringing your dream space to life.
TRADITIONAL
You hire the architect, engineer, contractor, and designer, moving plans between them. The process causes delays, drives up costs, and leads to miscommunication.

COORDINATION
DESIGN-BUILD
We deliver the plans and bring in the right experts. You work with one team, from concept to completion.
Construction begins before plans are finalized, causing wasted time and budget.
TIMELINE
& FLOW
Plans are finalized before building begins, streamlining time and budget.
Budgeting starts late in the process. Homeowners often lack visibility or control.

OUR PROVEN 3-STEP PROCESS
1 | CONSULT
We begin with an initial consultation to understand your goals, explore ideas, and ensure your project aligns with the Fine Home Contracting approach. We’ll discuss your budget and provide guidance based on your priorities.

Once we’re aligned, we move into the design phase. For a typical retainer of $5,000, you’ll receive a detailed estimate of design hours, access to our online project dashboard, and a scheduled site visit with inspection. We’ll also define selection allowances and begin developing preliminary plans and visuals, setting a strong foundation for your project’s success.

With a finalized design and signed construction agreement, we get to work. We’ll establish your build schedule, place special orders, and begin construction. Our team manages every phase, from permits to punch list, so you can focus on the exciting parts.
