Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes, while our office is based in McKinney, TX, we serve clients throughout North Texas including Rockwall, Royse City, Wylie, Fate, Heath, Farmersville, Lavon, Forney, Terrell, Allen, Frisco, and surrounding Collin, Rockwall, Hunt, Kaufman, and Dallas Counties. We also serve clients in Louisiana.

  • A design-build contractor handles both the design and construction of your project under one roof. Instead of hiring an architect separately and then finding a builder, Phillips Design Services manages everything from initial plans to final build. This approach saves you time, reduces communication errors between designer and builder, and typically lowers overall costs since there's no gap between the design phase and construction phase.

  • Absolutely. Every site is different lot size, shape, slope, drainage, and local zoning all affect the design. We start with a consultation where we discuss your land, budget, and ideas, then create plans tailored specifically to your property and goals. We serve clients with rural acreage, suburban lots, and everything in between across North Texas.

  • Yes, barndominiums are one of our most popular services. We design and build custom barndominium homes across North Texas and Louisiana. Barndominiums combine the durability and open-concept flexibility of metal building construction with the comfort and style of a custom home. We handle everything from the initial floor plan to final construction.

  • No, many clients come to us before they've purchased land. We can help you think through what size and layout of home will work on the type of property you're considering, which can actually help you make a smarter land purchase. Once you have your land, we finalize the plans to fit the site.

  • We design and build a wide range of commercial spaces including retail storefronts, office buildouts, restaurants, salons, and light industrial or agricultural commercial facilities. Recent projects include a hair salon remodel in Rockwall and a commercial landscaping complex in Farmersville. We bring the same design-build approach to commercial work one point of contact from concept to completion.

  • Yes, 3D renderings are available as part of our design process. You'll get a realistic visual preview of your project that makes it easy to evaluate layouts, finishes, and exterior styles before construction starts. This is especially popular with custom home and barndominium clients who want to visualize their home before breaking ground.

  • Barndominium costs in Texas vary widely depending on size, finishes, location, and site conditions. Basic shell builds can start lower, while fully finished custom barndominiums with high-end interiors run significantly higher per square foot. During your consultation, we discuss your budget upfront and design a plan that fits what you want to spend. We're transparent about costs throughout the entire process.
