One Contractor. Every Phase. No Exceptions.

Most contractors specialize in one trade. They do roofing, or framing, or finishes — and you spend your project coordinating between a half-dozen different companies, none of whom are responsible for the whole picture.

Innovative Building & Design operates differently. As your full general contractor, we manage every phase of your new construction project from site prep through final walkthrough. We hire, schedule, and oversee every trade on your job. You have one point of contact, one contract, and one company accountable for the result.

That’s not the norm in this industry. It’s the Innovative Building & Design standard.

Why North Metro Homeowners and Developers Choose Innovative Building & Design

New construction is a long process. You’ll be working with your contractor for months — sometimes longer. That makes who you choose the most important decision you’ll make on the whole project.

Full General Contractor

Innovative Building & Design manages every trade on your project. You don't coordinate between roofing, framing, plumbing, and electrical separately — we do that. One call, one contract, one point of accountability.

Locally Owned Since 2008

We're not a national franchise or a company that moves market to market. We live here, we build here, and we'll be here after your project is complete.

Manufacturer-Certified Installation

GAF Certified Plus roofing, Pella Certified windows — every system we install meets manufacturer certification standards, which means better warranties and better results.

Our Own Crew on Every Job

Our Own Crew on Every Job Innovative Building & Design employees handle your project — trained professionals who take pride in their work. Not day labor or rotating subcontractors hired off a list.

BBB A+ Rated

BBB A+ Rated Nearly 20 years of business with an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau. We've earned it by doing right by our customers.

How We Build — From First Conversation to Final Walkthrough

Every new construction project is different. But our process is consistent — which is how we keep complex projects on schedule, on budget, and on standard.

Discovery & Design

We start with your vision, your site, and your budget. We work with architects and designers to develop plans that are buildable, beautiful, and within scope.

Permitting & Site Prep

Innovative Building & Design manages the permitting process and coordinates site preparation — grading, excavation, utilities — before the first board goes up.

Framing & Structure

Our crew builds the structure. Every phase is inspected and approved before the next begins. No shortcuts, no skipped steps.

Mechanical, Electrical & Plumbing

Innovative Building & Design coordinates all MEP trades — scheduled, supervised, and accountable to us. You don't manage any of it.

Exterior Systems

Roofing, siding, windows, and doors installed to manufacturer certification standards. This is where our trade expertise becomes your competitive advantage.

Interior Finishes

Flooring, cabinetry, trim, paint, fixtures — the finishing phase is managed with the same discipline as the structural phase.

Final Inspection & Walkthrough

We walk the completed project with you before we consider it done. Every punch list item is closed before handoff.

What Our Clients Say

Joe and his team added 900 sq ft to our home on Medicine Lake in Plymouth and made our home our dream home. We added a master suite and gym below. It was so easy working with Joe through a major project. He is the best contractor I have worked with by far! I would hire him again for anything we need.

Innovative put a new roof on our house, and we couldn’t be happier. Everyone we worked with was very professional and helpful. We had to do an insurance claim, they made it very easy to understand the process. They’re team of roofers was very thorough and even went the extra mile, we are very appreciative for their clean up and they’re work. Would definitely hire them again and have already recommended them to our friends and family.

Innovative did a fabulous job on our 1 story rambler. New siding, fascia and soffits. The crew was hard working and did a great job of cleaning up after the job was completed. We will be contacting them in the near future about a bathroom remodel. I would recommend them to anyone.

Justin and the innovative team were amazing during our entire pool design and I installation process! I’ve recommended to many of my friends as well because of their timeliness and professionalism matching their quality of work! Highly recommend.
Rachel Topp
We worked with Innovative Building and Design to install an in-ground pool this summer. Justin was friendly and easy to work with. Pricing and timelines were very reasonable considering the scope of work. His team was professional throughout the whole process taking the stress of a big construction project such as this out of the equation. We couldn't be happier with our finished pool and are happy that we were able to work with such a great company to get this done.
Hyduke
We used Innovative Building and Design for our pool this summer. We can't say enough of how well this company did and how timely they were with the project. Justin was amazing answering a long list of questions daily! Joe and the build crew made the work look seamless. Making on the spot adjustments because of me... without worry or question! The part that just continues to stand out after the build is the customer service! They are timely and trustworthy that they will get the answer and work done without question. We have recommended Innovative Building and Design to several friends that are interested in a pool.
Mike T
Innovative came highly recommended when we were shopping for a pool builder. Their pricing was inline or better than several other pool builders. They were able to get our pool built this year, while several other builders were a year out or longer. We had a great experience with Justin and Joe.

We used Innovative Building & Design, LLC for our pool installation this summer and couldn't be more pleased with our experience. We received several estimates and selected Justin and his team because the proposal was extremely detailed, the price was competitive, and the professional approach was second to none. In the end everything was on schedule and the overall quality exceeded our expectations. This is my second pool in 20 years and I strongly recommend connecting with Justin and his team if you are considering a pool installation.

Justin is very professional with amazing customer service. We had a small issue which I discussed with Justin after work hours and he had his guy out the following morning to fix it. We are very pleased. I would highly recommend.
Kelly Schwartz
We hired Innovative in the Spring to install an in ground pool and were nothing short of impressed from the initial request for an estimate to completion of the project. Justin is highly knowledgeable and has a long history with pool installations which solidified our decision in hiring his company. He was patient and answered our plethora of questions! Joe and his team worked seamlessly, efficiently and conducted themselves in a professional manner the entire time at our home. Everyone we interacted with were friendly and respectful. They will be the first company I turn to for any future projects. Highly recommend!
