What Design-Build Means for Your Project
01
One Team From the First Conversation
You don't have to hire a designer, find a contractor, and then coordinate everyone yourself. The design-build approach keeps the planning and construction connected, with one team responsible for moving the project forward.
02
Plans Based on Your Actual Home
Before settling on a design, we look at the house itself. Existing walls, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, windows, roofing, square footage, and structural conditions can all affect what's practical.
03
Budget and Design Work Together
Material choices, layout changes, structural work, labor, and finish selections can all affect the cost of a remodel. Working through those decisions directly with Folsom homeowners makes it easier to understand where the budget is going and make adjustments before construction begins.
04
Construction With the Plan in Mind
Once the work starts, your project manager coordinates the sequence of trades and keeps communication moving. Depending on the project, construction may involve demolition, framing, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, cabinetry, flooring, windows, roofing, paint, and other finish work. We look to do a professional job, building what was planned and keeping the project moving.

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 brings the planning and construction sides of a project together. Rather than hiring one company for the design and another to build it, a licensed general contractor can sequence trades and coordinate the work from the early plans through construction and final sign-off. That gives you one team to communicate with throughout the project.
What types of remodeling projects do you handle?
We specialize in kitchens, bathrooms, whole-home renovations, additions, ADUs, garage conversions, and other residential construction. Projects can range from a focused kitchen remodel to a larger renovation involving several areas of the house. The right approach depends on the property, your plans, and what you want the finished space to do for your life.
How do you determine the cost and timeline?
We look at the property, scope, square footage, structural requirements, materials, labor, and other construction needs before establishing the budget. Once those details are clearer, we’ll provide a more realistic timeline for the project rather than guessing at a number of weeks. Clear communication throughout the process also means you’ll know when something affects the budget or schedule.
How do you keep a design-build project running smoothly?
Your project manager stays involved throughout construction, coordinating the sequence of trades, materials, inspections, and day-to-day details. You’ll have one consistent point of contact for questions and updates, which keeps communication simpler as the work progresses. We also make a point of going the extra mile when something needs attention rather than leaving you to sort it out yourself.
Can you help if I don't have a complete plan yet?
Absolutely. You don’t need to have every decision made before the initial consultation. Bring your ideas, problem areas, inspiration, or even a rough sense of what you’d like to change. We’ll look at the property, talk through your options, and provide professional guidance based on the house, your budget, and your expectations.
Do you serve the entire Folsom area?
Yes. Empire Builders serves Folsom and nearby communities throughout Sacramento County. As a family-owned California contractor, we approach each project with honesty, integrity, and professionalism, from the first consultation through the completed job.
