Design/Build Remodeling means that one firm is your designer, advisor,
advocate and builder.
As the client,
you are the most important member of the team because your
wishes and ideas drive the design, material selection and budget
through a collaborative process. We're
here to advise you with design ideas, potential costs & problems,
scheduling and to ensure execution is perfect.
What are the
benefits of choosing a Design/Build Remodeler?
- Early
knowledge of “Firm Cost”
Guaranteed construction costs are known far earlier than in any
other delivery process. The Design/Build Remodeler is
responsible for design while providing you feedback on construction
costs. You get to make decisions during the design based on
your benefit vs. cost, allowing you to make informed decisions
before construction starts.
- Cost
Savings
A Design/Build Remodeler build projects daily. We know
material and labor costs and can help you evaluate alternative
materials and methods efficiently and accurately while achieving the
same end result within your budget. We are also a design team
with significant experience in construction. That means we can see
or anticipate potential problems during the design process and plan
for them ahead of the construction process. Rarely are there hidden
costs after the project has started.
- A
Professional Design
With a
professional design there's a firm plan with defined costs, defined
materials and a confirmed timeline to complete the work.
Any jackleg
contractor can come and promise to remodel your home. They'll take
your description and build a bullet list of "to do's" along with a
project estimate. This isn't a design, it's a wish list without a
firm plan, costs and an allowance for materials. They're just there
to win the job. Once construction starts, costs go up with change
orders and material selections - You continue to pay because you
have to get it done. A professional design firm doesn't allow that
to happen.
-
Service & Guarantee
With design and construction in the hands of a single entity, you
have a single point of responsibility for the quality, cost and
completion of your project.
