Many homeowners believe they can save money by hiring subcontractors directly. But managing a construction project involves much more than scheduling trades. A licensed general contractor like At The Top Builders oversees permits, inspections, timelines, budgeting, and quality control. We coordinate the entire process to ensure all work meets building codes and integrates smoothly. Without a GC, you risk delays, compliance issues, and cost overruns. We act as your project manager and advocate, saving you time, money, and headaches in the long run.

We manage a broad range of residential and commercial projects, from kitchen and bathroom remodels to full custom home builds, room additions, and even light commercial renovations. Our clients in Albuquerque often come to us for multi-phase upgrades that involve multiple trades—plumbing, electrical, structural, and finishing work. Because we’re a full-service general contractor, you don’t need to juggle separate companies. We ensure consistency across every phase and act as your single point of accountability from design to final walkthrough.

At The Top Builders uses a detailed estimation process based on real-time material costs, labor availability, and historical project data in Albuquerque. During the initial consultation, we assess scope, budget expectations, and timeline goals. Our quotes are transparent, including labor, materials, permitting, and contingencies—so you're not hit with surprise charges. Timeline estimates also factor in weather, supplier lead times, and subcontractor availability. We keep clients informed at every stage to ensure there are no hidden delays or unexpected costs.

Your level of involvement is up to you. Some clients want daily updates and hands-on decision-making, while others prefer a more hands-off approach. At The Top Builders, we tailor our communication to your preferences. We offer scheduled check-ins, digital project management tools, and regular photo updates. Regardless of your involvement, we always ensure you’re informed about key decisions, changes, or potential issues—so you maintain full control without having to manage the day-to-day stress of the jobsite.

A big mistake is starting without clear goals or a realistic budget. Others include hiring unlicensed trades, skipping permits, or choosing the lowest bid without checking credentials. At The Top Builders, we help you avoid these missteps through a structured planning process. We encourage open conversations about expectations, constraints, and priorities early on. This proactive approach minimizes mid-project changes and ensures smoother execution from start to finish. Our goal is to make your remodeling experience efficient, predictable, and enjoyable.

Yes, we handle all necessary permits and inspections for your project. In Albuquerque, permits are typically required for structural changes, electrical upgrades, plumbing modifications, HVAC alterations, and additions. Working without proper permits can lead to fines, stop-work orders, and complications during resale. At The Top Builders, we have strong relationships with local building departments, which helps streamline the permitting process and ensure full compliance with local codes and safety standards.

We offer design-build services, meaning we can handle your project from concept through construction. This eliminates the disconnect that sometimes occurs between architects and contractors. Whether you have a full design plan or just an idea, we’ll help you develop detailed blueprints, make material selections, and ensure that the design is both beautiful and practical. If your project requires a licensed architect or engineer (e.g., structural additions), we can recommend trusted local professionals and collaborate closely with them.
