Where Do I Start? 
If you're at the very beginning of the building or remodeling process, then you probably have a lot of questions. You might ask yourself, who should I hire? How much will my project cost? What will the design process involve? 

These are all excellent thoughts to consider, and brainstorming is a substantial first step in any renovation. Now is the time to gather as much information and as many resources as you need! You want to enter confidently into the next phase of your project. 

What Does Design-Build Mean?
As you've weighed your options, you may be wondering, what does it mean to be a design-build company? A lot of builders operate under this structure now, so what makes them different? Essentially, the design-build process a more integrated construction method. Instead of working with a separate contractor and designer (and their respective teams), everything rolls through one design-build team. 

Why is This Helpful? 
Now that you have a basic definition of a design-build remodeler, you're probably wondering, what the advantages are of hiring them over a more traditional company? As a design-build contracting business, we think there are countless benefits to this renovation path, such as: 

  • Streamlined Process - one company means one building method and one design-process, which means less fuss for you. 
  • Easier Communication - day-to-day updates, questions, and clarification all go through a single entity. 
  • Fewer People - a reduced amount of people coming in and out of your home, who have all been screened and picked by your contractor only. 
  • Less Stress for You - instead of managing multiple bids, designers, and contractors, your design-build leader becomes the point person for your remodel. (Sigh of relief, right?) 
  • Faster Competition - a simplified and integrated design and building process typically equals quicker results for your project!
