Design-Build

Design-Build Overview

Where speed and accountability align

The F.E. Trainer design-build team seamlessly integrates design, selections and construction under one roof. This streamlined approach—ideal for smaller remodeling jobs—allows clients to work with a single, experienced team from concept to completion, ensuring clear communication, efficient timelines, and cost-effective solutions. With years of experience in custom home building and remodeling, F.E. Trainer transforms visions into reality while maintaining the highest standards of craftsmanship and client satisfaction.

The F.E. Trainer design-build team is a "one stop shop" for smaller renovations and interior remodels in the Knoxville region. Led by Meg Wohlford, our design-build manager, F.E. Trainer will help design your project, quote the work, and assist with selections before moving on to construction. There is one point person throughout the entire process, offering a streamlined and faster process than the typical design-bid-build construction process.


What are the benefits of a design-build approach to remodeling?
Clients benefit from a hassle-free experience, faster turnaround, and a unified team that is fully accountable for the outcome. For homeowners seeking a truly integrated and professional building experience, F.E. Trainer is the go-to choice for excellence in residential design and construction.

Do you use the same construction crews for design-build?
For all construction projects, including design-build, we pull from the same pool of subcontractors we work with on a day-to-day basis. F.E. Trainer's experience, systems, and relationships come into play as we select the right vendors based on your project's specific needs.


"Historically, our local architect partners have not been interested in designing smaller remodeling projects such as a kitchen and bathroom renovations. To fill this void, F.E. Trainer exclusively uses their design-build team for smaller remodeling jobs on a case-by-case basis."    —Fred Trainer, Jr.
