Design-Build Project Leadership in Atlanta
You're looking at a real investment — the kind of renovation that runs well into six figures and reshapes how you live and entertain in your home. A project this size carries serious consequences when mistakes are made.
With 20+ years of experience in homebuilding and remodeling, the AB Works team has seen how inexperience, lack of respect, or less-than-honest construction practices impact people's lives. Decisions made unilaterally or in the wrong order cost money, time, and stress to fix—and it’s completely unnecessary.
AB Works exists to make the process smarter, smoother, and personalized. We have all capabilities of a large design and build remodeler, without the rigid process and absentee project manager.
A major renovation, addition or restoration leaves no room for guesswork.
because Your experience is important.
The Details
Complex Remodeling projects don't go well by accident. Here is how AB Works empowers you to build a beautiful home with confidence:
At the beginning of any serious project, Allison comes to your home to understand your design vision, the problems you want solved, and the ideas you have to transform how you live.
Allison will review your property conditions with you, discuss what's possible, and provide a unique scope, and realistic budget and timeline expectations.
The investment to align vision with construction realities is $500.
Design Vision & Consultation
step one
Allison leads and coordinates every professional required to take your dream renovation from approved vision to permitted construction documents, carefully protecting the design intent as the technical requirements come into focus.
You'll receive fully permitted construction documents—plans ready to build from, with municipal submission complete and initial permit application filed.
This investment scales with the size and complexity of your project—for the most involved multi-scope renovations, it runs up to $35,000.
Conceptual Drawings & Prelim Pricing
step two
Renovations go over budget mid-build because important decisions were left open for the crew to sort out. Once demolition starts, every unresolved question becomes an expensive one.
Once build-ready documents are approved, Allison refines every detail, finishes material selections, locks in exact costs, and prepares timelines and contracts. This moves your project to action, with every detail aligned.
Multi-scope renovations with AB Works range from $200,000 into the seven figures, depending on scope—refined into an exact number once your construction documents and selections are complete.
Design Selections & Construction Pricing
step three
- A rotating cast of subcontractors introduces inconsistency.
- A project manager with multiple projects to manage introduces risk.
AB Works builds with the same master trade crew for every home, and Allison is on-site everyday ensuring what was painstakingly researched, designed, and approved is what is delivered.
Build & Deliver
step four
"What stands out about AB Works is their pure hospitality."
They are just genuinely nice, friendly people, and they always have a smile on their faces. Even after the main project was completed, our outdoor screen door developed a faulty lock. I called Allison, and they came right out and replaced it entirely free of charge. That is the kind of service that makes you want to refer a business all the time.

We were buying an older home that we wanted to completely remodel, but needed the engagement, caring and advice of both an interior designer, and a value add contractor, that could work together to deliver on budget and on time an historic home with an interior reimagined to be comfortable yet gracious in appeal. Allison delivered! So much so, we are on our second project with her.
"Honest, transparent, responsive, insightful, and like a partner in our home."

Allison and her team helped me out with a big project—building a front covered porch, residing the house, reroofing, and painting/staining everything. From start to finish, they were super communicative and flexible, which made the whole process so much smoother. With house projects, unexpected things always pop up, but Allison worked with me to find solutions that fit my budget and timeline. I’d absolutely recommend her and her crew — they do high-quality work and are great about following up if anything comes up after the job’s done. Really happy with how everything turned out!

We’re so grateful for Allison’s help on this crazy project! She made a stressful process manageable, and we honestly don’t know what we would have done without her guidance. Working with her was a great experience from start to finish.

We recently worked with Allison on an office/man cave renovation, and the experience was easy from start to finish. Her expertise, attention to detail, and clear communication made a complex process smooth and most importantly stress-free. It was so nice to rely on someone like her when it came to designing, budgeting, scheduling, and contractor coordination! Thanks to her professionalism and commitment, the project was completed on time and exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Allison to anyone undertaking a renovation!

Frequently asked questions
A design-build firm brings design and construction under one roof—a fine fit for some projects. That model also runs on volume, which usually means a rigid process built to keep many jobs moving at once. A large, one-of-a-kind renovation doesn't always fit neatly into that system. That's the difference—Allison personally leads each project so you can be confident in the investment.
Both ways work. If you have an interior designer, Allison collaborates with them closely and makes sure their vision survives the build intact. If you don't, you may not need one—Allison guides your material and design selections as part of the process, so you get real design direction without hiring separately. The right answer depends on your project, and it's one of the things you'll sort out early.
Yes, we assemble and manage the entire team to create the conceptual drawings and expedite permits to keep the entire project moving forward and in sync.
It depends on your site conditions, the age of your home, and the scope of what you're taking on—which is why an honest number can't come from a website. What we can tell you up front is the range: multi-scope renovations with AB Works start around $200,000 and run into the seven figures. Your exact number comes together as your construction documents and selections do, so you're pricing the real plan for your home rather than a guess. It starts with a consultation, where Allison gives you a realistic range for your unique project.
That's a common reason AB Works is brought in. A stalled or chopped-up project is one of our specialties: identifying what it would take to get it back on track and finished expertly.
