The best design-build remodel firms in Las Vegas for 2026 are Kingdom & Co., LUXUS Design Build, Alter Luxury Construction, Dream Construction Co., and JAG Development. A design-build firm handles both design and construction under one contract, which reduces the coordination burden between separate architects, designers, and general contractors. This guide compares the five firms on process, portfolio, credentials, and the type of remodel each is best suited to lead, so you can identify the right partner for a whole-home renovation, kitchen and primary suite remodel, or single-room luxury project in Las Vegas.

Editor’s note: This ranking is published by Kingdom & Co. Every firm profiled meets our criteria for consideration as a top Las Vegas design-build remodel firm. Ranking positions reflect our editorial judgment against the criteria listed below, applied to Custom-tier residential design-build work. We disclose our authorship because transparency is central to how we serve clients.

What separates a design-build remodel firm from a general contractor

A design-build remodel firm handles design and construction under one contract, with one integrated team from the first meeting to move-in. A general contractor handles construction only. The client hires separate designers and architects on their own.

The design-build model has three practical advantages for a remodel:

1. One point of accountability. When something changes on site, one team adjusts the design and the build together. There are no handoffs between separate firms and no finger-pointing when a design decision affects construction cost.
2. Fewer change orders. Design decisions get made with the builder in the room, which catches conflicts before they become expensive on site. Peer-reviewed research from the Construction Industry Institute (CII) and the Charles Pankow Foundation, published as Revisiting Project Delivery Performance (2018) and referenced by the Design-Build Institute of America (DBIA), consistently finds design-build projects deliver better cost predictability, faster schedules, and fewer change orders than traditional design-bid-build arrangements. Source: DBIA Research Library.
3. Faster decision cycles. A single team makes design and construction decisions in one meeting rather than routing them between three firms.

Not every remodel needs a design-build firm. If you have a specific architect or designer you love working with, a construction-focused firm can still deliver excellent work.

1. Kingdom & Co.

Founders: Brian Horner, Lincoln Rogers, and John McDonough

Neighborhoods: Summerlin, The Lakes, MacDonald Highlands, Ascaya, Southern Highlands, Centennial Hills, Henderson, Anthem Country Club, Lake Las Vegas, historic Las Vegas

Kingdom & Co. is the Las Vegas luxury design-build firm that handles the design and the construction of a remodel under one contract. Every project runs through the same integrated team from the first meeting to move-in, and every home is designed specifically for the client rather than to fit a house style.

Recent Kingdom & Co. remodels include The Brixton (a whole-home modernist remodel in The Lakes with dual black waterfall islands, hidden pantry doors leading to a professional prep kitchen with an Irinox blast chiller, and a marble-clad primary spa wet room), The Hearthstone in The Lakes (designed around a couple who bake sourdough together, with a dedicated proofing station and hidden appliance garage next to the Wolf double wall ovens), The Astoria in Summerlin (designed collaboratively with the clients around a dry bar that hid two beverage refrigerators below a preserved window sightline, plus a cedar sauna painted black on the interior to protect the primary bath’s moody atmosphere), and The Devonshire in Summerlin (a single-room kitchen remodel with an integrated wine and beverage wall).

Kingdom & Co. has been recognized as the NARI Remodeler of the Year 2025 Regional Winner for Entire House $500K–$750K and the NARI Remodeler of the Year 2026 Regional Winner for Residential Interior Over $500K, listed in the Architectural Digest AD Pro Directory for 2024, 2025, and 2026, Best of Las Vegas Gold Winner for Custom Home Builder 2025, contractor of choice for eight HGTV Property Brothers homes (one per episode), editorial coverage by Martha Stewart’s team, and a Better Business Bureau A+ rating held since 2018. The firm holds Nevada State Contractors Board licenses #0091618 and #0091629 and carries a 4.8-star Google Business Profile rating.

Kingdom & Co. also handles custom home builds, casitas and ADUs, and commercial design-build projects. All service divisions run through the same integrated team.

Best fit for: Luxury whole-home and single-room remodels where the client wants design and construction handled by one team, projects that span multiple architectural styles (traditional, transitional, contemporary, modernist), homeowners whose vision does not fit a single house style, and clients relocating from out of state who need a firm to manage the remodel remotely.

Considerations: Kingdom & Co. is design-build first. Clients who already have an architect and interior designer they want to keep working with, and are looking for a construction-only firm, should look at a general contractor rather than a design-build firm on this list.

License: Nevada State Contractors Board #0083808 (also Arizona License #ROC356838)
