Full-Service ResidentialDesign & Build Firm.
Design–build home renovation and custom home building in Greater Charlotte — drawn, engineered and priced properly before anyone picks up a hammer.
Designed for Living.
Built for Life.
Creating your dream home should feel exciting—not overwhelming. At Queen Boss Construction, we bring design and construction together under one roof, guiding you seamlessly from the first idea through the final detail.
From architectural planning and interior design to selections and construction, every part of the process is coordinated with one clear vision in mind: creating a home that feels completely yours.
Our design process makes choosing finishes easier, our pricing is clear and transparent, and our scheduling is built around accountability and communication. You’ll always know where your project stands and what comes next.
The result is more than a beautifully finished space. It’s a thoughtfully designed home, expertly built around the way you live—today and for years to come.
Clarity before construction.
From one room
to a whole building.
Ten of them, from a single room to a whole building, and the room without walls. Each one has a page of its own, because each is a different job with a different risk in it — and what they share is where they start: on paper, with you in the room, before anything is demolished.
Outdoor living
Decks, sunrooms, pergolas and outdoor kitchens, built as structure rather than as decoration so they last as long as the house does. See the outdoor living page →
Design & drafting
A complete plan set for your renovation — plans, elevations, sections and schedules — developed and reviewed with you before pricing is fixed.
Your turn-key solution
Four things we do ourselves.
Design–build means the drawings and the building are one firm and one contract. In practice it means these four are not subcontracted to anybody, and not handed off between them.
Architectural design & drafting
Plans, elevations, sections and schedules drawn in-house, with a level of revision built into the fee. You are not hiring an architect separately and then refereeing between two firms.
Interior design & selections
Layout, finishes, fittings and fixtures chosen with you against a schedule, so nothing is picked in a panic at framing stage and nothing holds the site up.
Full project management
One project manager per job, on site, with the schedule, the trades and the inspections in one hand. You get told where the job is before you have to ask.
One contract, one invoice
Design and construction on a single agreement. There is no gap between the drawings and the build for a cost to hide in, and no second firm to blame.
Designed and built
by the same firm.
Most renovations go wrong in the gap between what was imagined and what was drawn — and that gap is usually a handoff between two companies. There is no handoff here. The people who draw it sit with the people who build it, on one contract, and the drawing is checked against how it will actually go together before anybody prices it.
Space planning, layouts and selections
Where the room goes, how you move through it, and what it is made of. Kitchen and bath layouts, cabinetry configuration, flooring and lighting concepts, finish and material selections — developed with you rather than handed to you.
The complete plan set, drawn in house
Plans, elevations, sections and schedules. Construction drawings that the trades, the subcontractors and the permitting authority all work from, so nobody on site is guessing what was meant.
Stamped by a licensed engineer
When the work touches the structure — a load-bearing wall, a large opening, a second storey — the plan set goes to a licensed structural engineer for calculations and a seal before it is submitted.
Submitted, reviewed, approved
We manage the submission and coordinate any revisions the city asks for, so the project clears review cleanly and you are cleared to break ground.
Design–build means the drawings and the building are one firm and one contract. Our designers and drafters work in house, on the same floor as the people who will build it — which is why a detail that cannot be built gets caught on paper rather than on site. If you are already working with an architect or an interior designer, we build from their plan set just as happily; the coordination is the same either way.
Drawn in house
It is drawn here
before it is built.
Plans, elevations, sections and schedules, made a few feet from the people who will build them. A detail that does not work gets caught at the desk rather than on site at four o’clock on a Friday.
How the drawings get made →What a Queen Boss job is actually like to live through — the price, the schedule, the dust — and where The Renovation Edit fits into it.
The build
Define it on paper.
Then open the walls.
This is the shape of every job. Each of the ten things we build has its own detailed process, on its own page.
Walk the house
We look at what is there: structure, services, what moves and what does not. Most of what a renovation will cost is decided by things you can see on this visit.
Design & drawings
Layouts, elevations and selections developed with you, with a level of revision included, until the drawings describe the house you actually want.
Engineering & permit
Structural calculations and a stamp where the work needs one, then submission and any requested revisions — so the schedule starts from an approved set.
Build
One team, one schedule, one point of contact. You know what is happening this week and what is happening next.
The client experience system
The Queen Boss Blueprint™
Plan it. Define it. Price it. Build it. The whole system written down — the three pre-construction stages, what each one costs, and what the finish levels actually include, side by side.
- Pre-construction: design & architectural, structural engineering, city permit
- Finish levels compared line by line — Essential, Signature and Estate
- Twelve defined stages from first conversation to final walkthrough
Four things that change
how the job runs.
Design–build, under one roof
Design, drawings and construction are one process and one contract. There is no gap between the people who drew it and the people who build it, which is where renovation budgets are usually lost.
Priced before it is demolished
We define the work first, so the scope, the expectations and the pricing are realistic before major dollars are committed — not discovered once the walls are open.

You always know where it is
One point of contact, a schedule you can see, and a straight answer about what is happening this week. The most common complaint about builders is silence.
Built different. Built better.

Shannon L.Common questions
Answered before
you have to ask.
What does “design–build” mean for my renovation?
One firm and one contract for both the drawings and the construction. You are not hiring a designer, then bidding the drawings out, then refereeing between the two when the numbers come back. It also means the budget is tested against the design while the design can still change.
Can you work from drawings I already have?
Yes. If you have plans from an architect or designer we will review them, tell you what the house and the code will actually allow, and price the work from them. If you do not have drawings, we will develop them with you.
How long does a kitchen or bathroom take?
It depends on the scope, the selections and how much of it is structural — and on how quickly decisions get made, which is usually the real variable. We give you a schedule before we start and tell you every week whether it still holds.
Do you handle permits and inspections?
Yes. Where a permit is required we prepare the submission, coordinate any engineering stamp the work needs, and carry it through review and inspection.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes — NC Residential General Contractor licence #80885, and licensed and insured in both North Carolina and South Carolina.
Where do you work?
Greater Charlotte and the surrounding towns, plus the South Carolina side of the line — Fort Mill, Rock Hill, Tega Cay, Indian Land and Lake Wylie. If you are not sure whether you are in the area, call and ask.
Do you do work outside the house?
Patios, porches and covered outdoor rooms, yes — built as structure, on the same contract as the rest of the project.
How do we start?
A conversation and a walk through the house. No charge, and no obligation at the end of it.
Trade partners
We are always looking
for good subs.
If you run a licensed, insured crew in the Charlotte area and you do work you would put your name on, we would like to hear from you. The application takes about two minutes.
Financing
Borrow against the house
it is going to be.
A renovation is usually worth more than the house was before it. RenoFi is built on that: their lending partners underwrite against your home’s after-renovation value rather than what it is worth today, which is why the number they can reach is so often larger than a standard home-equity offer.
RenoFi is not a lender; it works with lending partners who make the loans. Queen Boss Construction is not a lender or a broker, does not arrange credit and takes no part in the application or the decision — we point you at them because clients keep asking who to talk to. All terms, rates and eligibility are between you and the lender.
