Spirit Lake & Lake Okoboji Homes - Building Industries, Inc. - Builder Profile:

Building Industries, Inc., a Design-Build general contracting firm, has been serving homeowners and business clients in the Iowa Great Lakes region for over 40 years. We are a subsidiary of Citation Homes, Inc., a custom home manufacturer. Over the years we have designed and built many single and multifamily homes, townhouses, condominiums, and commercial buildings, as well as remodel and renovation projects.

We have chosen the design-build approach to building to ensure a greater continuity of service by having only one company handle both design and construction of a project. This joining of the design and construction functions can save you time and money and makes you an active partner in the construction of your new home.

In building your dream home, the Building Industries' design-build approach will help you at each stage of design and construction to create the home that best matches your desires and budget. Your role as a partner with Building Industries and the subcontractors employed will help to streamline the design, material selection, contract and construction stages of your project. Having one company handle all the details reduces the chance for miscommunication and helps you get the best value for your investment.

Building Industries has many satisfied customers as a result of our professional designing, careful selection of craftsmen, adhering to strict building standards, consistent supervision, meticulous attention to detail and precise cost control. We try to make the building process an enjoyable and rewarding experience. For your next building project, whether new construction or an addition or remodel, contact Building Industries, Inc. We will be happy to discuss your dream home and show you the quality that goes into every Building Industries project. All at no obligation.

What is the Design/Build Method:

The Design/Build Method ties together professional design services and professional construction services. A homeowner selects one company, Building Industries, Inc., to perform both the design and building phases of the project. With Building Industries handling both entities, the homeowner is relieved of the burden resulting from handling multiple services and contracts. One company is responsible for the entire project, and one individual is accountable for that project. There is no uncertainty in who to call. The contract prepared by Building Industries will, in a less confusing manner than with other building methods, explain the project in its entirety. Miscommunication is kept to a minimum because you know not only what is included in a package, but also what is not included. The homeowner becomes less entangled in the fine details and more involved with the design process where the "dream home" vision is truly realized. All homes are custom and specific to the homeowner's needs and desires.

Your Building Industries designer and the subcontractors selected work cohesively to match the two aspects of the building process. This makes the project more time and cost efficient if both construction entities share the same thought process and a common building method before the design process begins. Designers and contractors parallel one another to remain within the homeowner's specified budget.

The Design/Build Advantage:

  • Building Industries calculates costs early to establish and control budgets.
  • Project management is handled by Building Industries so that the homeowner can focus on the big picture and exert greater control over the entire project.
  • The owner need only work with Building Industries, Inc. As such, there is only one contract to negotiate. This provides for more cost-efficient pricing.
  • Building Industries becomes the single source for responsibility. The homeowner may contact us with questions regarding any aspect of the project.
  • Total project time is reduced since Building Industries provides both services. Bidding and redesign are all but eliminated.
  • Building Industries focuses on the homeowner's needs and specific directives in order to satisfy the dream home vision.
  • The building process runs smooth as Building Industries completes both the design and construction phase. Both functions are performed in a manner that is common to our subcontractors' methods.
