What Does ‘Design-Build’ Mean?
The term “design-build” is used to describe a company that is a one-stop shop for home remodeling work. That means the contractor takes on both the design and construction sides, allowing for a smoother, more cohesive process.
Having separate entities do the design and build parts of a job can make for a somewhat disjointed project. Why? Because the architect you work with may not be familiar with the pricing, products, and process of the remodeling contractor you partner with. Because a design-build company takes an all-in-one approach, it will be well-versed with that information, which helps you get a realistic sense of how your project is going to unfold.
The Design Side
When it comes to the design process, an experienced design-build company will cover all bases. A skilled architect will sit down and meet with you to go over your needs and preferences for the project before the initial design stages start. From there, you’ll get a chance to see drawings of what everything will look like. Once those plans are approved, the work can begin. A good contractor will have its design team stick around during the construction process to make sure everything comes together as planned.
Making the Design Concepts a Reality
Typically, design-build firms are equally excellent in both aspects of their work. In a traditional remodel, construction plans from a hired architect are great, but, if the build team doesn’t follow through with exceptional craftsmanship, the remodel won’t live up to its full potential. But when the two teams come from the same company, there is more of a united effort to ensure outstanding quality. With guidance from the design team and the skill of the construction team, you can expect excellence for your home upgrade.
