  • How do I get started with my construction project?

    The first step is to contact us for an initial consultation. During this meeting, we will discuss your vision, budget, timeline, and any specific needs or requirements for your project. We will also guide you through the design and permitting process, if applicable. When you need a commercial builder with a clear, organized approach to projects, turn to Advanced Builders.

  • Do you offer design services or just construction?

    We offer both design and construction services. Our team includes architects and designers who can assist with the planning and design phase. However, if you already have a design in place, we are happy to work with your architects or design team to bring the project to life. Whether you need a detail-oriented architect or an experienced commercial builder, we're the business for you.

  • What is the typical timeline for a commercial construction project?

    The timeline for a commercial project depends on several factors, including the size, complexity, and scope of the project. From our experience, a simple renovation might take a few months, while a new building could take a year or more. We will provide you with a detailed project timeline after assessing your specific needs. When you choose Advanced Builders as your commercial builder, you can expect the industry-leading customer service you deserve.

  • What are the payment terms for a commercial construction project?

    Payment terms are typically outlined in the contract and are based on the project's scope and duration. Common payment structures include fixed-price contracts, cost-plus contracts, or milestone payments. We will discuss the most appropriate payment arrangement based on your project. Call us today to get in touch with the top commercial building contractor in South Central Illinois. We look forward to serving you.

  • What is a custom home?

    A custom home is a property built to the exact specifications of the client. Unlike pre-built homes or semi-custom homes, a custom home offers the flexibility to choose everything from floor plans and materials to finishes and layout. Here at Advanced Builders, we're proud to be a leading custom home builder in the South Central Illinois area.

  • How long does it take to build a custom home?

    The time required to build a custom home depends on many factors, such as the size of the home, the complexity of the design, weather conditions, and the permitting processes. From our experience as a local custom home builder, on average, it can take anywhere from nine to 18 months to complete a custom home.

  • How much does it cost to build a custom home?

    The cost of building a custom home varies depending on factors such as location, size, design complexity, and materials. Generally, it’s best to consult with a custom home builder to get a personalized estimate based on your specific needs and preferences. Call us today!

  • Can I make changes during construction?

    Yes, most custom home builder teams allow for changes during the construction process. However, changes made after work has already begun may result in additional costs and delays, so it's important to finalize your design as much as possible before starting construction.

  • What is the process for building a custom home?

    Building a custom home typically follows these steps:


    • Initial consultation and design

    • Site selection and preparation

    • Budgeting and financing

    • Obtaining permits

    • Construction phase (foundation, framing, electrical, plumbing, etc.)

    • Finishing (interior finishes, landscaping, etc.)

    • Final walkthrough and inspection
