Our Approach
Remodeling
Made Easy
Our award-winning design and construction experts work together under one roof, creating a seamless design-build process that can accomplish all phases of your project faster and more efficiently than a traditional build-only approach. At the completion of the design phase, you will have a fixed-fee transport build price.
In traditional build-only, you design → bid → build. Often times projects never get built or experience long delays because they are over budget, and there is poor communication between designers and construction experts. Allowances and unclear build details leave you exposed to cost overruns and delayed finish times.
Advantages of Design-Build
-
Know the Costs Upfront - Time spent in design and estimating helps flush out costs, so in construction, you can avoid costly change orders and oversights.
-
Single Point of Responsibility - One entity drives the flow of work all the way through completion, with no need for separate contracts for designers, architects, and contractors.
-
Faster Project Delivery - Once plans are complete, we are ready to build
-
Better Planning - Because building the project is a responsibility, all aspects of construction are planned and ordered ahead of time
-
Better Design and Communication - The production manager is closely involved with design creation to ensure the design is “build-able”.
-
Builds Teamwork - The client, designer, architect, and contractor work together under one roof to achieve the client's goals.
-
Eliminates Adversarial Conditions - There is no blame game or finger-pointing due to errors or omissions made by the designer, architect, or contractor.
