Our Mission

“Family”– it is our legacy and the root of our philosophy. Ask any staff member and you'll hear the same response: we are a family serving families. We wouldn’t be where we are now if not for the steady desire to keep building and growing our own legacy with the families we've had the privilege of serving.

Our founder, having experienced a house fire while serving in the U.S. Marine Corps, learned that the family experiencing such a tragedy doesn’t always receive compassionate treatment. Instead, they are often treated like a number on an insurance claim. After spending several years working with a prominent general contractor doing construction and remodeling, our founder witnessed firsthand the shabby work being done by companies. It was decided in that moment to start a construction company that would do things right — in a BIG way!

BIG will meet with you to discuss the details of your custom pool or hardscape project. After that, we manage every step, from permits all the way to finishing landscaping touches.

Full Inground

Full Size Inground pools typically have areas ranging from around 200 to 800 square feet with an average depth between 5 and 6 feet. They have a concrete structure with steel reinforcement, usually finished with plaster, fiber-glass, vinyl or a decorative aggregate.

Jacuzzi

Jacuzzis and Hot Tubs typically have areas ranging from 40 to 80 square feet, and are shallow enough to comfortably seat two to seven people. They usually have a built-in heating, water jet, bubble and/or filtration system.

Waterfall

Waterfalls are hardscape structures that usually adorn the poolside. They can have fountains, rivers or even light shows to set the mood.

Fire

Outdoor firescapes are made of brick, stone or metal fashioned into a hearth, oven, grill or decorative heating fixture. Fire is one classical element that's often missing from a backyard, but it's more practical than you'd think.

You dream, we execute.

We specialize in building glow-in-the-dark pools! It's not magic. The glow aggregate absorbs sunlight in the day and releases it at night.

Make your pool an unforgettable experience all year round with a BIG makeover!

Your outdoor sanctuary is waiting.

We create paved areas, driveways, retaining walls, stairs and walkways using hard-wearing materials such as wood, stone, and concrete. We specialize in decorative concrete, which includes variations of color, stamp, stain, overlay, topcast, and glow-in-the-dark.

Innovation is our middle name! Feel free to contact us with any custom project you have in mind!

Public works contracts are a great opportunity for general contractors. By understanding the process and preparing properly, you can increase your chances of being awarded these contracts. The first step is to understand the bidding process. Most public works contracts are put out to bid, meaning that bids are submitted by interested parties and the contract is awarded to the lowest bidder. However, there are exceptions. Some public agencies may have a preferred contractor, or the contract may be given to the lowest bidder who is also qualified to do the work. To submit a bid, you will need to provide detailed information about your company and the proposed project. This includes your company's history, experience with similar projects, qualifications and certifications, as well as a description of the proposed project. Make sure that your bid is complete and accurate, or you may not be considered for the contract. Once you have submitted your bid, it's important to stay in touch with the public agency. Keep them updated on your company's qualifications and experience, and be prepared to answer any questions they may have. If you are awarded the contract, be sure to comply with all of the terms and conditions. Failing to do so can result in penalties or even loss of the contract.

Before you can build an addition on your home, there are several things to consider. These include what kind of neighborhood do you live in, how much will it cost and who will pay for it? If you have a neighborhood where the houses are very close together or there is a neighborhood association nearby, they may have rules about what kinds of room additions are allowed. Additionally, you need to consider how much a room addition will cost before you start the project. Many room additions can be expensive, but there are many different options for financing them as well. Depending on your needs and credit history, you could get a room addition loan for just about any type of room addition that you would like to build. If you are not sure how to finance room additions, you should talk with your general contractor, who can help you to determine your options. Finally, if anyone else will be paying for room addition costs, they may have requirements as well. For room additions that are primarily built for someone besides yourself, they may require a certain percentage of your home's value be spent on room addition costs. Making all of these considerations before room addition projects start can help you find the best additions possible and avoid potential problems along the way. If costs are holding your family back from making extra room space in your room, a contractors can help. Room add-ons are a great way to add space to your home without having to move or buy a new room. Room additions cost vary based on size and other room add-on factors. The average room add-on costs about $48,000 according the US Department of Housing and Urban Development. Room additions are either being built above the room where you currently live or they are being completed under your room. You can have room contractors build a new room on the ground level while making sure to keep your existing room intact. Room additions come in many different sizes but generally average about 400 feet squared. Room add-on costs vary depending on the size of room addition being built. Room additions are typically used for master bedroom additions, spare room space and kids' playroom space.

Reorganize and remodel your bathroom with the help of an innovative contractor

It's no secret that bathroom remodeling is one of the most popular home improvement projects. But what many people don't realize is how bathroom remodeling (done properly) can also benefit you in other ways, including lower your monthly utility bills and even increase the value of your home. Better energy efficiency The bathroom usually provides the only opportunity for efficient hot water use in the home. Fixtures such as a bathroom sink, shower, and bathtub can account for almost 30% of total hot water use in a typical house. While the bathroom only accounts for less than 10% of your indoor living space, it can typically consume over 25% of your energy bill. With bathroom remodeling, you have several options to make the bathroom more energy efficient, including replacing an inefficient shower with a new, low-flow model (or even an on-demand model). Installing toilet power dams in your bathroom is also another option you can consider. These bathroom remodeling efforts will likely not only reduce both your monthly utility bills but over time, they'll help extend the life of your bathroom fixtures, too. Increase home value Another big benefit to bathroom remodeling is that doing so can help increase the value of your home. More than one-third of home buyers say they wouldn't consider buying a house with an ugly bathroom. If you're planning to sell your home within the next year, bathroom renovation could be a great option for you. However, bathroom remodeling requires more than just replacing old bathroom fixtures with new ones. When bathroom remodeling, make sure to consider all bathroom renovation options, including completely gutting the bathroom and starting from scratch. This ensures you'll be able to create a bathroom that works well for your family's unique needs. For example, if you're looking for bathroom remodeling ideas that will help reduce your utility bills, then bathroom remodeling experts recommend insulating bathroom pipes. This can often be done at little-to-no cost (and in some cases you may even be able to do it yourself). Consider a general contractor If bathroom remodeling sounds like something right up your alley, then consider hiring a general contractor to help you with bathroom remodeling projects. A bathroom remodel can be much more than just replacing bathroom fixtures. It's also about rearranging the layout of your bathroom, adding new cabinets and vanities, tile backsplashes or decorative mirrors, finding ways to increase natural light through skylights or windows, etc. Because bathroom remodeling requires so much more than just bathroom fixtures, bathroom renovation can be complex and dangerous if you don't have the right experience on your side. And because bathroom remodeling costs are not always cheap, you may find yourself overwhelmed by your bathroom renovation budget too. This is why hiring a general contractor for bathroom remodeling projects is often the best choice. A bathroom remodel doesn't have to be expensive either. According to bathroom renovation experts, bathroom remodeling can start as cheap as $500 (and you can even do some bathroom remodels yourself). While bathroom remodeling can quickly become costly, especially if you wish to completely gut the bathroom and start from scratch, bathroom renovation experts say bathroom remodeling can save you at least $100 in energy costs each month. Which means that if bathroom remodeling cost $5,000, then within just one year you'll be able to recoup your bathroom renovation costs. Bathroom remodeling is something to consider not only because of its potential benefits but also because bathroom remodeling is something you can do now.

Landscaping and design options to create the perfect backyard

The backyard has long been the site of barbecues, family gatherings, and summertime fun. With spring just around the corner, now is the time to consider sprucing up your backyard with landscape designs that really stand out. Many homeowners feel like their front yard is an extension of their living space and may want to consider sprucing up their backyard with some landscape designs that really create an outdoor oasis. A backyard is more than just the spot for enjoying the beautiful weather; it's also the perfect place for relaxation and escape. We recommend homeowners consider adding a deck or patio, adding a water feature such as a pond or waterfall, building an outdoor kitchen, adding garden lighting, or installing a pool. All of these backyard landscape designs can really transform an outdoor space and help homeowners create the perfect backyard oasis for themselves and their families. Here are some examples of ways to transform your backyard. Outdoor kitchens Outdoor kitchens in California are very popular. It’s a wonderful way to expand your outdoor living with a patio. It can be more than a place to cook and also a place to enjoy time with family and friends. It's not surprising that many people in America's golden state love to expand their outdoor living options with an all-inclusive patio that can host family and friends for hours of fun and relaxation. Garden lighting Garden lighting can make a big impact by allowing homeowners to entertain at night and expand their time spent outdoors. Lights can make the environment feel more welcoming and relaxing, while cooler lights make the environment more stimulating. A well-designed garden is not just aesthetically pleasing; it's also functional since we use gardens as extension our living spaces. Ensure your outdoor space is well it with the proper design from Builders Innovation Group. Pools and waterfalls Adding a water feature always creates a relaxing environment and energy in your outdoor area. Waterfalls help keep water moving throughout your pool and keep the water clean. Family and friends will be attracted to the space and want to spend more time outdoors when water features are present as well. The soothing sound of water flowing, combined with your own personal poolside oasis will create a relaxing environment. Contact Us Today At Builders Innovation Group we offer a range of backyard landscape design options, from deck and patio installation to outdoor kitchen building to pond construction. We also offer free backyard consultation so homeowners can talk about their backyard dreams.

Working with your contractor to choose the right area of your backyard to build the perfect pool

When deciding to build a pool there are many things to consider, like where you want it placed in your yard. Your general contractor should be able to help you strategically place the pool in the best location. In in the meantime, here are several factors to consider. Take advantage of the sun Pools take up space, and if planted beside trees or other shrubbery, they can take away valuable sunlight that pool-goers need to burn off calories after swallowing large volumes of pool water. Also, pay attention to the weather at pool-side, pool heating is a large expense during winter months, pool heaters can be costly and ineffective if pool-goers do not wait before entering the pool to allow it time to reach pool-room temperature. Consider the chemicals you use When deciding on pool filtration and sanitization always consider the chemicals that go into pool water. Many people choose chlorine for pool sanitation because it’s cheap and effective, but chlorine has a tendency to release metal stains onto pool walls making them look dirty. Metal stains are unsightly, but can be easily treated by pool maintenance professionals. Pool construction is usually the largest pool expense of any pool owner, so it’s important to consider your options carefully before hiring a pool contractor. Pool contractors offer pool renovation as well as pool construction services. When contracting with a pool contractor for pool construction services always get multiple pool construction estimates and pool renovation estimates. Ask for references It’s extremely important that pool construction or pool renovation is done well, and if you need to hire a pool contractor for pool services it’s best to hire the finest pool contractor around who also offers pool maintenance services. Pool contractors should provide customer references upon request, as pool construction is a pool contractor’s bread and butter. Before beginning pool construction you must choose pool materials, pool contractors usually offer pool supplies for sale, but if they don’t provide them you can always search local pool suppliers to find what you need. Pick the best location When it comes to pool location in your yard the best place for a pool is in a sunny area away from trees, fences and walls that block the sun, and far from telephone wires or electrical lines. You should also avoid pool locations near combustible materials like pool cleaning equipment, pool supplies, pool lockers etc. Leveling ground where you want to build your pool will take time because proper pool placement is extremely important. Your pool should be perfectly level to the ground floor. Ask your contractor for help Before pool construction begins pool owners will usually need to sign a building contract with their general contractor. The pool contract details all the work that general contractors need to execute for proper construction, and should include costs associated with the construction. If you have questions about getting started with building a pool today, contact Builders Innovation Group. We are happy to walk you through the process and create a plan to build your dream pool.

Adding a pool to your home can be a big decision, here’s are some factors to consider

A pool can be a fun, attractive addition to a house and usually increases its value. But are the costs of installing and maintaining a pool worth it? Appraisers will have different outlooks on how to determine whether the pool will boost the home’s price — or even detract from it. Here are some things to consider before you take the plunge. Do you want to make your home more inviting and open? Adding a pool may be the solution. But before you commit, it's important to consider these factors about pools: The cost of building the pool How much space do you have in your yard? Do you want to install an above-ground or in-ground pool? What type of pool do you want? Location Most folks will recommend taking your location into consideration when making the decision to install your pool. California is usually a prime location for a pool location with its sunny weather and warm summers. Benefits of a pool Most homeowners will tell you that all the stress about deciding to build a pool was definitely worth it once they look back upon the priceless memories that were made splashing around with children, friends, and neighbors. Pools are a great place for families to gather and spend time together. They are fun and also provide a source of exercise. It’s important to think of the cost of the pool as an investment in the time and enjoyment they had with the pool — they might not get the money back, but they’ll have the memories Does it add value to your home? Some experts say adding an in-ground pool to your home can add value. One HouseLogic study suggests an increase of 7 percent, at most, under ideal conditions, while HGTV reports that the average inground pool can up your property's value by 5 to 8 percent. Critics believe a pool can be a drawback because new homeowners fear the potential maintenance costs. While some pools add more value than others, most appraisers agree that the addition of an above-ground pool should be based on the homeowner’s personal enjoyment rather than a means of driving up the home’s price. According to HouseLogic, even a pool that checks all the “smart investment” boxes would still only bring a maximum 7% increase in value. Planning your build As with most home improvement projects, the most convenient time to install a pool is during new construction. When you are building new, you can incorporate the pool directly into the landscaping plans to ensure there is enough room. During new construction is also the ideal time to run underground lines that are necessary for efficient pool operation. Building a pool as part of your new construction can also actually save you money as excavators, earth movers, and contractors are already on-site working on prepping the house. Of course, there’s nothing wrong with a retrofit pool addition either. A swimming pool might not be feasible for the budget when first buying or building a house. After years of getting comfortable in a home, you may find you have the money saved for a more elaborate pool and surrounding deck than you would have when incorporating it into your new build. Contact us today If you have questions about building a pool, contact us at Builders Innovation Group. We would love to help build a pool from the ground up or incorporate it into an existing backyard.

Understanding the commercial improvement process

One of the simplest ways to add value to a property is to make small improvements that make the building more appealing to tenants, but these don’t have to cost an arm and a leg. Categories of commercial improvement These improvements can fall into one of two categories: 1) Leasehold or 2) Building Improvements. Leasehold improvements include benefits for the tenant, whereas Building Improvements include benefits that you do for the building. It’s important to understand what you own and what improvements are available in your commercial property before making any decisions about whether or not to make an investment in tenant improvements (TIs). Leasehold Improvements vs. Building Improvements Any owner of commercial property must understand the difference between a tenant improvement and a building improvement. A commercial tenant improvement (TIs) is a direct one-time expenditure for an individual commercial tenant. These improvements typically add value to specific business operations within the commercial property, such as by adding more space, modernizing the work environment or other modifications that benefit only that commercial tenant. For example, if a commercial tenant wants to add more space to their suite because it’s growing, they may need to make changes to make that happen. However, these improvements must be made in compliance with the commercial lease agreement between the commercial owner and commercial tenant. The cost of TIs is typically included in the commercial lease commercial tenant’s rent. A commercial building improvement (BI), on the other hand, is an improvement to the commercial property itself, which may include items such as adding commercial lights or making common area improvements. These types of commercial building improvements do not specifically benefit one commercial tenant over another commercial tenant within a commercial property. This means that commercial property commercial owners can decide to make commercial building commercial improvements at their discretion, and commercial tenants must pay for their own commercial tenant commercial improvement (if there is one). Deciding Whether or Not to Improve a Commercial Property With all other commercial property factors considered, deciding whether or not you should incur the cost of TIs comes down to one commercial question: Is your commercial building worth it? Commercial owners should consider these factors before deciding to commercial invest in commercial TIs because, unlike residential TIs, commercial TIs do not directly benefit commercial renters and must pay for them. One commercial way owners can gauge commercial TI value is by evaluating building capitalization rate, also known as commercial CCR. The commercial return on investment for a business owner is the commercial property's net income, after adjusting for all of the various expenses, divided by two. Commercial CCR indicates the net income that commercial owners can expect in return for their investment. If a commercial property's capitalization rate is 10 percent and the total TI improvement cost is $10,000, then that For example, if you're a small home business owner looking to expand your operation, you'll want to pick a facility that's designed for businesses. If franchisees are already operating from there, choose one with plenty of room so that you may practice and develop your product. On the other hand, choosing a commercial industrial business company manufacturing producing production plant(100% x $10,000 = $1,000).

Concrete is one of the most versatile building materials and can be used in multiple ways around your home

It’s no surprise that concrete is one of the most popular materials to work with considering it has many uses. There are several grades with different strengths and makeup to provide a different mix. What is concrete exactly and how do we work with it? According to America’s Cement Manufacturers, concrete is easy to work with, versatile, durable, and economical. By taking a few basic precautions, it is also one of the safest building materials known. Relatively few people involved in mixing, handling, and finishing concrete have experienced injury. There are several different types of ways crews can work with concrete. For example, there are various ways to add decorative value by using concrete outside with concrete pavement. Use it with your pool and concrete patios. There are also various ways to use it with patios and countertops and floors inside a home. Is it difficult to work with concrete? Concrete can be difficult to work with, making it preferable to work with a licensed contractor who specializes in specific concrete services. Picking the right type of concrete and managing to work with it well can be tricky. If the amount of concrete is incorrectly estimated then the results can be devastating. Plus, are you willing to invest in the proper tools and learn how to use them to properly lay down concrete? If no, then your results may be less than desirable. Also, if you don’t have experience working with concrete, you won’t successfully know how to apply the right technique. When mixing and managing concrete there is little room for error. It requires skill and patience and without practice, a first-time project might result in an amateur look as well. Timing is crucial with concrete Concrete is a time-sensitive material. There is a limited amount of time in which concrete remains malleable. Never plan to pour and finish concrete on your own. Doing so only opens the door for expensive, time-consuming problems. Plan to do it right or not at all. All things considered, it’s important to know what type of concrete you are working with and to be patient enough to allow the concrete to cure for the minimum recommended timeframe. Why hire BIG?

Tips to consider when mastering the new home construction process

Building a new home can be a rewarding process albeit a challenging and exhausting one at times. Future homeowners should consider a variety of issues they may be confronted with when getting ready to build their dream home. Too often, poor planning and budgets that are too small can lead to some wayward, inconvenient and disastrous mistakes. When you plan on building a new home, you must look at the home from many angles. Here are some factors to keep in mind when entering the new home construction process. Let the experts weigh in Make use of the specially trained architects, engineers and builders that are available to you. If you can afford one, use an architect. If not, let a builder guide you through the design process. They will help guide you as to where you can save a few dollars and where you absolutely should not cut corners. If possible, maximize your design potential by hiring an interior designer as well. These folks will be able to help choose the right brand for your home and your budget. Prioritize and planning If you are attempting to build your dream home, it’s key to prioritize. Many homeowners say the building process can be overwhelming and several distractions can arise. And no home will be perfect. If you want to stay with your original vision then begin with a list of intentions. If you want to stay on budget and on-schedule, you need to make a list of things you’d like in your home. For example, some folks don’t like a laundry room on the second floor. You’ll most likely not be able to have everything you’ve ever wanted in your home. However, if you list an item of priorities you’d like, you’ll stay on track when building your home. Staying within budget Expect to spend more than budgeted. Almost every couple that builds a custom home together says their expenses were more than anticipated. Although the contractor may stay within budget, you might want to add more features including fixtures, paint add-ons, and finishes. There are many unexpected expenses that can arise when building your home. Choosing a contractor Make sure you do your research before you decide who you are going to build your home with and sign on the so-called dotted line. There can be a big price discrepancy between contractors. Plus a difference in quality and the way they handle projects. Many contractors don’t keep you informed of their progress the entire time, leaving you feeling anxious and wary of the work being done without steady communication. At Builders Innovation Group, we know how important it is to stay within your budget and stay on track. If you are looking to build your dream home, contact us today. Our desire is to bring a higher level of detail to our projects than our competitors.
