Why choose design-build over hiring an architect
or contractor directly?
1. We understand the whole project scope, from design through construction.
When you approach an architect, most of the time, they are not aware of current labor prices, building products and alternative construction methods which allow us to build the most stunning home with high quality details that fit the client's budget. As the design-build team, we can value-engineer every aspect of the project to build a stunning, timeless home while being conscious of the current construction landscape - including timelines and budget concerns. We work as a team to ensure the most seamless and cost effective experience, from conception to completion and we're on top of our timelines so the project never has to stop.
2. We provide you with a complete design, so you don't have to.
While an architect may work with you to design your home's exterior elevations and floor plans, most do not have the bandwidth to develop the full design, which includes selecting all construction materials and design finishes. Unless you're prepared to search through thousands of inspiration photos, formulate a complete and cohesive design for exterior, landscape and interior design, then select, source and order all the home's finishes and materials, then we highly recommend working with our team. We also put together a complete budget that includes each line item which allows you as the client to have full transparency on your home's build costs.
3. We're on site from beginning to end.
Since our team is on site throughout the week during each project phase, we are able to ensure quality control and stay on track. We have great relationships with our build team and landscapers which allows for smooth communication throughout the entire project. Our build team is thoughtful, organized and intuitive - which allows us to quickly find solutions on the spot during construction. Our clients respect our design teams and build teams because we always prioritize finding the best solutions for our client's needs, even when it involves making changes.
4. Unparalleled communication with clients throughout the project.
No matter who you choose as your builder and architect, trying to keep constant communication throughout the project is going to be difficult. We have incredible relationships with our architects, engineers and builders and we develop great partnerships with new vendors all the time. These relationships allow us to keep close with communication so that we can provide you with succinct information on all project updates so you as the client doesn't have to hunt down answers for weekly updates. This is one of our greatest qualities, which sets us apart from other design-build firms too.
