Vanderbilt Family Builders brings together design and construction professionals in a collaborative environment to complete individual tasks such as creating construction documents, acquiring permits, and constructing/remodeling the home. We cannot shorten the time each step takes, but we can work on each stage simultaneously, leading to earlier occupancy of your home.

Vanderbilt’s design build services provide our clients with a single responsible party from project start to finish. Accountability and responsibility for defects or non-performance cannot can not be placed on another party at any time. Therefore, the design build system motivates our team members to become invested in the success of each project knowing that the buck will stop here.

As a design build contractor Vanderbilt Family Builders is involved in the project from the start and can easily provide a good faith estimate of construction costs during each design phase. By using our company to provide design build services, clients avoid redundancies in fees, lower administrative costs and eliminate contingencies.

Vanderbilt Family Builders has built its reputation by building some of the most beautiful homes in Castro Valley over the past 60 years. Our family knows Castro Valley and knows what it takes to design and build (or remodel) home here – from the building codes that govern our unincorporated city to the challenges of building on a hillside. Vanderbilt Family Builders is Castro Valley’s Community Contractor.

Design Build is a turnkey system that is effective in limiting the risk to the client.  As a design build contractor, Vanderbilt Family Builders assumes sole responsibility for budget, schedule and quality of workmanship. Our clients are not required during design and construction to coordinate and/or arbitrate between architects and contractors to resolve conflicts.
