What is a design/build remodeler?

Design/build is a service-oriented operating style that gives remodeling clients a one-stop shopping. Working with a design/build firm allows the client to work closely with the remodeling contractor to achieve a common goal-creating functional space while increasing the value of the home, all within the parameters of a pre-determined budget.

Many designers are qualified to design a great project and there are many remodelers that can build a great project. The secret is to be able to design AND build a great project within the client’s real-world budget.

Most substantial remodeling projects require a detailed set of plans. The plan (a) explain what you are getting in relation to your contract (b) are used to obtain permits and (c) tell carpenters and trade contractors just what is to be built. Design/build remodelers can provide “buildable” plans (plans that meet the local codes and solve the problem with in the budget) and construct the project.

Thus, a design/build remodeler is responsible for the project from inception through design and construction until completion.
