Trusted General Contractors in Bloomington, IL

The length of the building process varies based on several factors: design time, size and complexity of home, weather, homeowner decisions being made on time, etc. In general, a smaller more basic home should be completed in about 6 months from design to completion, and larger, more complex homes will take longer.

Typically, it works best (and the homeowner feels less rushed) if the homeowner begins working with us a few months in advance (although we have worked with past customers for much longer and shorter periods of time before construction started).

Knapp Builders offers our own in-house design services to our customers through the use of Chief Architect. We are flexible as we have built many homes that were designed by outside architects, and many homes than we have designed ourselves.

While we have built several high-end homes around town, we cater to a wide variety of budgets. We do believe strongly, however, that all sizes of homes deserve the same high level of quality in craftsmanship and products. We recommend using higher end products (windows, furnace, hardware, plumbing fixtures, etc.), but can make changes as requested by the homeowner. Regardless of size of house, or products used, however, you will always get the highest level of quality in the carpentry labor we do to frame and trim out your new home.

Many factors can drive this, but the main components are: quality construction, type of heating/cooling system installed, type/thickness of insulation, attic space being properly ventilated, and quality level of windows.
