What Is a Design-Build Remodeling Firm?
A design-build remodeling firm is a company that provides both design and construction services under a single contract. The design-build model differs from the traditional design-bid-build model, in which the design and construction phases are typically performed by separate entities. In design-build, the firm takes responsibility for both the design and construction of a project, streamlining the process and often resulting in cost and time savings.
Why Choose a Design-Build Remodeling Firm?
According to the Design-Build Institute of America, “Design-build continues to out-perform other delivery systems in cost, schedule, growth measures, construction and delivery speed.”
Homeowners who choose to work with a design-build remodeling firm spend 3.9% less on projects that are completed 13% more quickly. When you choose a design-build firm, you are choosing to work with and trust one team to manage your entire project. Design-build is more efficient, and it will save you money.
As one firm, we guide you from the initial design phase in which ideas are developed and turn them into your newly remodeled home during the build phase. In this way, we can more accurately calculate the financial investment and the time necessary to complete the project.
We also share common resources with everyone working on your home, so that we can monitor the drawings and build plans for feasibility and accuracy. The legwork we do up front keeps costs real, and while expenses might look high in comparison to other designers and contractors, you’ll discover that you will be least frustrated with overall expenses when taking into consideration surprise costs that are ultimately a part of a home remodel.
Benefits of Working with a Design-Build Firm
Design-build firms offer a more comprehensive solution to home design and construction services because the team is all under one house. We are consistently on the same page about your project from start to finish. This benefits the homeowner because the cost is accurately calculated before the work starts.
The main benefits of design-build include:
Single Point of Responsibility
The firm takes responsibility for both the design and construction of the project, which simplifies communication and reduces the risk of miscommunication or delays.
Streamlined Process
Improved Cost Control
Design-build firms bring design and construction professionals together in a collaborative environment, leading to better coordination and improved quality. The design-build approach allows course correction in design sooner in the process, eliminating the need for numerous redesigns and projects cost escalations because design and build teams are working collaboratively. We lead homeowners through the process confidently, eliminating the surprises that can come up during a more traditional approach due to either lack of planning ahead or by not thoroughly exploring potential surprises before construction begins. The traditional design-bid-build model works for some, but it is almost always missing the details that drive actual cost from over-designed spaces.
Reduced Risk
Design-Build Remodeling Firms Streamline Home Remodeling
Design-build firms manage your home remodeling project in a way that causes you the least amount of stress. Instead of coordinating between contractors and subcontractors or having to find your own builder, you have a single point of contact and a single budget. If you have any questions during any part of the project, you can take them to your project manager. This approach makes it easier for you to manage your home remodeling project, because everything to do with the design and the build are addressed through one project manager who is responsible for obtaining all of the materials and scheduling all of the work. The design-build team starts and finishes the project in partnership with you.
