FBC Remodel’s Design-Build Process

Remodeling a home should bring joy to the homeowner. Our processes were designed with our mission in mind and our passionate team in mind.

Our team works with you from the moment your project is conceived all the way through the design and execution process. We will provide all of the grunt work on your behalf so that you do not have to go through the process of hiring a contractor and designing the layout yourself.  Although you might not be familiar with the concept of working with a design-build firm, we believe it is the best way to get exactly what you want, reduce your stress levels and have a space that you will be proud to show off.

You will begin building joy in your home when you choose to work with us! Our award-winning designers will begin the process with a free design consultation. We will discuss your needs, wants, and interests for the space during your design consult, and our designers will take the time to get to know you and your aesthetic so we can create the space you envision.

Throughout our design process, we’ll make sure every measurement is accurate, create 3D renderings to help you visualize your basement redesign, and work with you on creating the space of your dreams.

In the construction phase, you’ll move from the design phase to the construction phase. A detailed renovation schedule will be provided to you during the construction process. After about six weeks (generally), you will have a nearly finished basement that you can finish at your leisure!

Customer Reviews

FBC Remodel is proud to Build Joy® for homeowners. See what our customers have to say about working with us.

“FBC did an amazing job with our 1600 sq ft basement. The sales team listened to our vision, offered several options and helped us stay within budget. Our PM was fantastic! We received daily communication with minimal life interruption, realistic expectations and partnered with us to ensure every aspect was covered. They even finished early!!! We had met with 2 other contractors and are so happy about our choice! They accommodated our quirky requests for a brewery room, rerouting our laundry dryer vent, closeting our water piping for access and exterior window well changes. Best choice ever!!!”

Heather R.

“The design/construction approach by FBC produced an excellent finished product for us. We added a large recreation room for pool, TV and games along with a bedroom and bathroom. Ceiling soffits, arched entries and angled walls created a unique and inviting space. The project team and trade partners did fine work and we are very happy with our new basement. All work was completed on schedule and within budget. The best part was having all construction access through the basement window. Our only advice is to carefully review all design details to assure that everything you want is clearly specified in the drawings. Then be part of the team by doing quality control as the project moves along.”

Darrel H.

“We can't say enough about the design team at FBC. We had multiple companies bid on our project and everyone else came back with the same basic design (a good but not spectacular layout). But FBC looked at the space from a completely different angle and in the process was able to create everything on our wishlist including an extra room. The design was elegant and functional and our family now benefits from it every day.”
