What Design-Build Means for Your Project
01
One Team Handling the Moving Parts
Your project manager stays involved throughout the project, coordinating the contractors, materials, scheduling, and construction details. You have one point of contact from the initial planning through the finished project.
02
Planning Around the Actual Property
We look at the existing house before finalizing the scope, including the layout, walls, plumbing, electrical, framing, and other conditions that could affect construction. For older Citrus Heights homes, that initial review can be especially important.
03
A Clearer Picture of the Project
The design, budget, materials, permits, and construction requirements are considered together. That helps identify decisions that need to be made early and gives you a clearer schedule before work begins.
04
Construction That Follows the Plan
Once construction begins, your project manager coordinates the trades and keeps the work moving according to the agreed scope and schedule. Citrus Heights construction may include framing, plumbing, electrical, cabinetry, flooring, paint, siding, repairs, or replacement work, depending on the project. We keep the details tied back to how the space needs to function in daily living, while also paying attention to the finished appearance and potential curb appeal.

What Our Customers Say
My experience with empire builders was good. They are very professional and thorough with their work. I would highly recommend them for any remodels, additions, etc. I included a photo of our new bathroom they built from the ground up.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does design-build remodeling mean?
Design-build remodeling brings the planning and construction sides of a project together. Instead of hiring one company for the design and then searching for separate contractors to build it, Empire Builders coordinates the project through both stages.
What types of projects do you handle?
Our home remodeling services include kitchens, bathrooms, whole-house renovations, home additions, ADUs, garage conversions, and other residential construction projects. We can also discuss repairs, upgrades, and projects that involve several areas of the house.
Can design-build work for an entire house?
Absolutely. Design-build can be a practical option for an entire house renovation because the layout, materials, structural work, and individual rooms can be considered as one project rather than a series of disconnected renovations.
Is design-build useful for an older home?
It can be, particularly when a renovation involves several parts of the house. Older homes can have outdated plumbing, electrical, framing, insulation, or layouts that need attention once walls or finishes are opened up. Our team has worked on many projects involving older properties, so we know to look beyond the obvious cosmetic updates and consider the condition of the systems underneath. That early assessment helps us build a more accurate scope and budget for the work.
How do you determine the cost of a design-build project?
We look at the project scope, property conditions, size of the renovation, materials, structural work, and other requirements. From there, we develop a preliminary budget and allowances, so you have a realistic range to work with.
How do you avoid surprise change orders?
The best way we reduce surprises is by spending more time on the front end. We review the property, define the scope, discuss materials, and establish allowances before construction. If something unexpected is uncovered during the job, we’ll explain what we found and discuss the options before moving forward.
Will I have one person to contact during the project?
Yes. A dedicated project manager coordinates the trades, scheduling, materials, and communication throughout the job. That gives Citrus Heights clients one consistent point of contact rather than requiring them to manage several contractors themselves.
Do you handle commercial renovations or tenant improvements?
Empire Builders also offers construction services beyond residential remodeling, including commercial renovations and tenant improvements. If you have a business project in the Citrus Heights area, we can discuss the scope and determine whether our team is a fit.
Do you serve areas outside Citrus Heights?
Yes. Empire Builders serves Citrus Heights, Sacramento, Wilton, and nearby Northern California communities. If you’re planning a remodeling or construction project in Citrus Heights, CA, or a nearby community, contact us to discuss the property and what you’re looking to accomplish.
