Answer A Few Questions That May Uncover Benefits to Using the Design Build Process for Your Project:

Benefit: A single source (company) is responsible, fully accountable for, and controls all sub-contractors and team members.

Remodeling or building a new home can be overwhelming and stressful. If you've hired a contractor in the past, you may have experienced this. With Design Build, everything happens 'under one roof' - that is, one company is responsible for all aspects of the project. So, the very first step in the Design Build process is understanding your specific pain points, past experiences or underlying concerns. Was there a single point of communication keeping the project organized? Was there a clearly defined schedule, and was it met? Were any problems addressed quickly? Was your space respected e.g. left clean after every work day?

Have you remodeled or built a home in the past? *

Yes

No

How would you describe your previous remodeling or home build experience? *

We have not remodeled, built a home or ever hired a contractor.

Exceptional; not a single problem, issue or complaint.

Very Good; we got what we paid for, was relatively painless.

Satisfactory; was not exactly what we wanted; somewhat stressful process, problems/issues arose but were dealt with.

Not A Good Experience; not close to what we wanted; a stressful/overwhelming process, constant problems/issues that were not dealt with fully.

Nightmare; contractor abandoned project/contractor fired; we are apprehensive about moving forward.

Please elaborate: *

Understanding your specific pain points/past experience is very important in the Design Build process. Was there a single point of communication keeping the project organized? Was there a clearly defined schedule, and was it met? Were any problems addressed quickly? Was your space respected e.g. left clean after every work day?

Benefit: Design-to-Budget directs the most cost-effective use of funds, lowering costs and giving greater value for your investment.

Have you determined the investment you are willing and able to put toward your project? *

Yes

No

If yes, what is the range of your investment? *

The Design Build process requires a clearly defined budget. Then, all estimating, design solutions, scope of work, and selections are balanced with your stated budget, and aligned with your goals. Designing To Your Budget is what we call the "early reality test," and is critical for maximizing your dollars and minimizing surprises or cost overages during the construction phase.
