Greener Concepts Design + Build is the firm Alpharetta homeowners hire when they want one team handling design, permits, construction, and finish detail. Founded 2008.

What design-build actually means

Most home projects pass through two separate companies. An architect or designer draws the plans. A general contractor builds them. The handoff between the two is where budgets balloon, timelines slip, and finger-pointing starts.

Design-build collapses that. One firm draws and builds. One contract. One accountable team. One timeline.

At Greener Concepts Design + Build, design and build are the same team. The team that sketches your layout is the team that frames the wall. When you change your mind about a finish three weeks in, the people answering you are the people doing the work.

That's the model. We've run it since 2008. Nearly 50 years of combined building experience on the team. More than 500 projects completed across North Atlanta.

Why design-build wins on real projects

Budget control from day one

We price as we design. You see real numbers before plans are finalized, not after. That kills the post-design 'we can't afford this' rework cycle.

Schedule integrity

No coordination lag between architect and GC. Drawings and permits paced to construction availability. Most of our projects finish on or ahead of original schedule.

Change-order discipline

When something changes mid-project (and it always does), our team evaluates the design implications in the same room as the cost. You get one answer, not three.

What we design and build

The design-build model applies to every project we run. Six core service lines:

Where we work

Greener Concepts Design + Build serves Alpharetta, Milton, Johns Creek, and Sandy Springs.

We're based on Red Maple Forest Drive in Alpharetta. Most of our work happens within a 15-mile radius of that address. We don't take projects outside North Fulton. That focus is part of how we keep the design-build cycle tight.

Greener Concepts vs. a traditional general contractor

Design phase. Traditional GC: hire a separate architect. Greener Concepts: in-house design team.

Contracts. Traditional GC: two (architect + GC). Greener Concepts: one.

Permit owner. Traditional GC: architect or homeowner. Greener Concepts: us.

Change orders. Traditional GC: architect re-draws, GC re-prices, you wait. Greener Concepts: same team evaluates design and cost in one pass.

Schedule. Traditional GC: two firms coordinating. Greener Concepts: one timeline.

Accountability. Traditional GC: split. Greener Concepts: single point of contact.

How a Greener Concepts project starts

Three things happen in the first month of any project.

One: a 50-minute paid in-home consult. The founder walks the space with you, listens to what you're trying to do, sketches options, and flags structural realities. You leave with a real picture of what's possible. $350, credited to your project on signing.

Two: a detailed estimate within 48 hours of the consult. Not a back-of-envelope number. A scope you can hold us to.

Three: design phase. Drawings, renderings, layout iterations until it's right. Then we build.

What we've built

500+ projects completed across North Atlanta. 11-time Best of Houzz Service award winner. 4.9-star average rating across Houzz and Google.

Licensed and insured in Georgia. Georgia General Contractor License #RBQA008024.

The founder runs every project. That continuity is why most of our recent work comes from client referrals.

Common questions about design-build

What's the difference between design-build and a general contractor?

A general contractor builds plans someone else drew. Design-build keeps both functions in-house. One firm, one contract, one timeline.

Is design-build more expensive?

Usually less. No double-bid overhead, no scope-change rework between architect and contractor. Budget visibility starts in the first design meeting, not after plans are finished.

Do you handle the permits?

Yes. Permit-to-finish is in-house. You don't deal with the city or the inspector. We do.

What does a typical project cost?

Project range runs $100,000 to $1 million for most of what we build. Basement finishes and additions at the lower end. Whole-home renovations in the mid range. Custom new home construction toward the top. We also take on ultra-luxury custom builds in the multi-million range for the right project.

What cities do you serve?

Alpharetta, Milton, Johns Creek, and Sandy Springs. Based in Alpharetta. Most projects within a 15-mile radius of that address.

How long has Greener Concepts been doing this?

Founded 2008. Nearly 50 years of combined building experience across the team. More than 500 projects completed across North Atlanta. 11-time Best of Houzz Service award winner.

Do you do new construction or just remodels?

Both. Custom new home construction is one of our four primary service lines, alongside whole-home renovations, additions, and basement finishing.
