“I recently moved part-time from New York to Dallas and needed my new house remodeled quickly. ICO Construction & Remodeling did an amazing job! Their team was super friendly and professional, understanding my urgency and completing everything on time. They transformed the bathrooms with modern subway tiles, sleek fixtures, and stylish touches. The kitchen now has a gorgeous marble countertop with a functional island and integrated cabinetry, while the living room features a sleek fireplace and modern shelving. ICO Construction & Remodeling made my transition smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend them for any remodeling needs!”

“We just had our kitchen remodeled by ICO and are extremely pleased with the final product. The whole process was made very easy and stress free through their great communication and attention to detail. If something was wrong or not to our liking, we were never worried because we knew that they would make it right. They would regularly show up while work was being done to check how things were going and would send a message at the end of everyday of what was accomplished that day and what will be done tomorrow. We really appreciated their honesty and integrity and will call them again for our next project.”

“We recently had our bathroom remodeled by ICO Construction, and we couldn’t be happier with the results! From the initial consultation to the final touches, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and dedicated to delivering high-quality work. The design process was seamless, with the team helping us choose the perfect layout, materials, and finishes to match our style and needs. Their attention to detail was outstanding, ensuring that every element—from the custom tile work to the modern fixtures—was installed flawlessly.”
Karin Torjeman
“Our experience with ICO was amazing from the minute they gave us the quote until the project was done. We were nervous selecting a company to redo our bathroom, but Illia, Or, and Benjamin made it a breeze. You can trust these guys to do the work on time and with great quality. Trust the process and you will be blown away by the results. The communication was great as well. They answered questions, confirmed plans with us, and did what they said they were going to do, when they said they would do it. In the end, they transformed our bathroom into the nicest room in the house! Can’t recommend them enough.”
Michael Schleigh
“I had a wonderful experience with ICO Construction & Remodeling. They came to my rescue when I was having an issue with a leaking shower pan. I was not planning on a bathroom remodel but I’m glad I had Ilia and Or to work with. They really took the time to educate at every step in the process and answer all questions. Anything that came up during the process they were all over and addressed immediately. We had a challenge with our original design and Ilia helped with alternatives which would meet the desired result. Again, I am so appreciative of having Or and Ilia to work with. They really care about you and your project. I am so happy with our end result.”

What Is Pre-Construction Planning
Pre-construction planning is the critical phase before construction begins. It involves feasibility analysis, budgeting, site evaluation, and code compliance review. This is when we collaborate with clients, engineers, architects, and city planners to ensure everything is aligned with your vision and regulatory requirements.
At ICO, our pre-construction team evaluates every component, including:
- Site Conditions & Topography: Soil testing, drainage, grading, and accessibility.
- Zoning & Permits: Verifying alignment with Dallas zoning requirements and initiating permit applications.
- Scope & Schedule Planning: Defining phases of work and estimating duration with contingencies.
- Budget Modeling: Estimating costs for labor, materials, permits, and overhead.
- Constructability Assessment: Identifying potential design conflicts, build challenges, or inefficiencies.
