Frequently Asked Questions
Which counties does Building Concepts serve?
Building Concepts LLC works across both Shelby and Jefferson Counties, including Pelham, Hoover, Vestavia, Sterrett, and Mount Laurel. The dual-county footprint is wider than typical local custom home builders, and it allows the firm to take projects across a broader geographic range while staying inside one licensing jurisdiction for the bulk of its work.
What is the firm's Alabama license number?
Building Concepts LLC operates under Alabama Home Builder License #21899. The license is required for residential new construction above the state's contract threshold and is paired with the company's status as fully licensed, certified, and insured. The number can be verified through the Alabama Home Builders Board's online lookup ahead of signing a contract.
Does Building Concepts handle basement finishes?
Yes. Basement finishing and conversions are part of the published service list alongside new construction and remodels. Basement work in Pelham and surrounding Shelby County homes covers everything from finishing unconditioned space into livable square footage to converting existing basement areas into bedrooms, bathrooms, or media rooms with permitting and inspection.
What does 'energy-efficient home builders' mean for the firm?
Building Concepts markets energy-efficient home construction as a specialty, which typically covers building envelope tightness, high-efficiency HVAC sizing, advanced framing methods, and energy-rated windows and doors. The framing matters in Alabama's climate where summer cooling loads dominate, and the firm carries that focus across both new builds and major renovations.
What hours does the firm keep?
Business hours are Monday through Friday 9am to 5pm with weekends reserved for emergencies. The 9-to-5 weekday window is consistent with a project-based custom home builder rather than a service-based contractor, since most active construction sites are managed on weekday schedules with site superintendents handling daily oversight.
Does the firm handle the entire build process?
Building Concepts provides full-service construction from lot selection through design, permitting, and finishing. End-to-end coordination is typical of larger custom home builders and is what distinguishes the firm from contractors who only run construction phases after a separate architect or designer has produced drawings. The model keeps the project under one schedule from initial concept.
