FAQ

  • 1. What services does Modus Design Build offer?

    We provide full-service design and construction solutions including new residential builds, remodels, commercial upfits, and tenant improvements. Our integrated approach combines design, interior design, and general contracting under one roof for seamless project delivery.

  • 2. What makes Modus Design Build different from other contractors or design firms?

    Unlike traditional firms, we handle both the design and build phases in-house. This means you’ll have one point of contact, faster timelines, tighter cost control, and a unified vision from concept to completion. We also partner with select architects and designers to expand our capacity for larger or specialized projects.

  • 3. Do you only work on high-end or large projects?

    Not at all. While we specialize in premium, design-driven projects, we work with a wide range of budgets and property types. Whether it’s a kitchen remodel, a new custom home, or a commercial buildout, we tailor our services to your goals and resources.

  • 4. Do you offer design-only or construction-only services?

    Yes. While we prefer managing full design-build projects for efficiency, we also offer standalone design or construction services. We frequently collaborate with outside architects, realtors, and investors who need design drawings, permit-ready sets, or general contracting support.

  • 5. How do I start my project with Modus Design Build?

    You can schedule a consultation through our website or by phone. We’ll discuss your project goals, timeline, and budget, then prepare a custom proposal outlining next steps.

  • 6. Do you provide free estimates?

    We offer free preliminary consultations and ballpark estimates. For detailed proposals with design concepts and cost breakdowns, a small design retainer or pre-construction fee may apply — which is credited toward your project if you move forward.

  • 7. Are you licensed and insured?

    Yes. Modus Design Build is a fully licensed and insured general contracting and design firm in North Carolina. Our team includes certified professionals in design, interiors, and construction management.

  • 8. Can you help with permitting and code compliance?

    Absolutely. We handle all building permits, engineering coordination, and code reviews to ensure your project meets all local and state requirements.

  • 9. How long does a typical project take?

    Timelines vary by scope. A bathroom remodel may take 4–6 weeks, while a custom home or commercial buildout can take several months to over a year. We provide realistic schedules up front and maintain consistent updates throughout the process.
