  Choose How You Want To Remodel:

  Design/Build Remodeling means one team is your designer, advisor, advocate and builder.

Design/Build teams generally include an Architect/Designer and General Contractor who work together with you to bring the best of both worlds to your project.  Not only do you get a trained, creative side; you also get a practical, construction experience that, when joined into a team, put you in charge of your project.

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. The traditional method puts you in the middle of a tug of war with your budget, the architect, the contractor and the myriad of selections that need to be made. What products make sense - functionally and stylistically? Which fit your budget? Where do you go to see and select them?

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 Team is responsible for design while providing you feedback on construction costs.  You get to make cost vs. benefit decisions during the design, allowing you to make informed decisions before construction starts.
• Cost Savings
  A Design/Build team 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.  A design/build team also has 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 property. 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.  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.

How do I select a Design/Build Contractor?

Here are some key things to find out from a contractor before making a selection;

• Which architects is he working with?
• How many years has the Contractor been in the industry?
• Is he registered with the appropriate state agencies?
• How long has the Contractor’s company been established?
• Is the Contractor properly insured?
• Does the Contractor provide design services and if so, are they in-house or a partnership?
• Will your project be designed to city specific zoning laws, ready for permits and approval?
• How many Design-Build projects have they completed?  What size were the projects?  Did they Permit the projects?
• Is the Contractor a member of any professional organization related to their field such as NAHB or The Remodeler's Council?
