What is a design-build firm
A design-build firm is a type of construction and project delivery company that offers both design and construction services under one roof. Unlike the traditional approach where a project owner hires separate entities for design and construction (an architect or designer, and a general contractor), a design-build firm combines these two essential components into a single team.
In a design-build setup, the firm typically includes architects, designers, engineers, and construction professionals who collaborate closely to streamline the project from concept to completion. This integrated approach often leads to greater efficiency, cost savings, and smoother communication throughout the project lifecycle. Design-build firms are known for providing a more cohesive and coordinated process, which can be advantageous for clients looking for a streamlined and holistic approach to their construction or renovation projects.

How long has DYM Builders Group been in operation?
DYM Builders was founded in 2018 by Jade and David, who together bring over a decade of experience in the construction business. DYM-Builders rose to prominence during the challenges of the pandemic, fueled by a vision to revolutionize the construction and remodeling industry through innovative approaches.
How do you maintain a personal touch and client-centered approach, especially with multiple branches, in an industry often associated with larger, impersonal businesses?
We completely understand your concerns regarding the scale of businesses in our industry. DYM Builders does indeed have multiple branches, including our presence in Texas with our Dallas location. However, it’s important to highlight that DYM Builders is, at its core, a family-oriented business. Our owners are based in California, where they actively manage the company and ensure a client-centered approach. Whether you’re at one of our branches or dealing with us remotely, you’ll receive the personal attention and care that is central to our identity. In fact, either Jade or David, the co-founders, will personally meet with you during the consultation, and they will continue to oversee and manage your project, ensuring that we maintain our commitment to every client, regardless of the number of branches.
How many projects do you manage at the same time?
Our planning department adeptly handles a workload of 10-12 projects concurrently. However, when it comes to our construction department, we take a ’boutique’ approach, deliberately keeping it small-scale. This deliberate choice allows us to provide each customer with an exceptional level of service and meticulous attention to detail. As such, we limit our construction projects to no more than 6-8 at a time, ensuring that every project receives the highest quality of care and focus.
How many work crews are currently part of your team?
We are proud to have four dedicated crews that have been an integral part of our team, working alongside David and Jade for a remarkable 5 to 10 years. Their experience and commitment reflect the quality and reliability you can expect when you choose us for your projects.

If I hire my own designer and handle the planning, can your company manage the construction?
Yes, we are fully capable of working with plans from any source. However, before you proceed, let me explain why we recommend considering a design-build company like ours.
First, hiring separate professionals often means they focus solely on their specific roles, which can lead to budget overruns or unmet expectations due to a lack of cohesive planning. As a design-build company, we manage the intricate relationship between planning, design, and construction, ensuring all parties work towards a unified goal.
Second, successful project execution requires ongoing communication between the architect, engineer, and contractor. Without a dedicated intermediary, you might end up assuming the role of project manager, which can be both time-consuming and frustrating. Our design-build approach keeps our architect and engineer actively engaged throughout the entire process, from initial design to final inspection.
Lastly, it’s important to be cautious of contractors who claim to offer “design-build” services but only refer you to vendors after the planning phase. We are a genuine design-build company, involved in every stage—planning, design, and construction. You will have the same project manager overseeing your project from start to finish, providing you with an accurate project forecast before any commitments are made. This ensures that the project aligns with your budget before investing in the planning phase.
