| What is the Design/Build Remodeling Concept? The concept of design/build remodeling fosters the attainment of goals, which
must be present in any relationship. These goals include:
- The understanding of remodeling vs. new construction
- Trust between the client and the design/build remodeling team
- Total accountability for all phases of the project
By using our Design/Build service, we can furnish you with a realistic
cost analysis during the design phase. This time enables us, as a team, to form a good
working relationship before the construction begins. By employing J.M. Construction as
part of your design/build team, the transition from design to construction is seamless,
and you are rewarded with a finished and a process that you have been involved with every
step of the way. If you would like to hear more about Design/Build and how it could work
to your benefit, please call our office.
Design/Build
a Success Story
If you have ever lived through a remodeling project, you can probably
relate to this single most frustrating portion of the process. The planning stage.
Traditionally, you would interview a number of architects and then hire one that seems to
fit your needs . Then after a series of meetings and many hours, the architect delivers to
you a hand drafted plan that you then need to receive pricing on. Next, you seek out a
number of contractors who will submit bids on your project, only to find that the plan
does not meet the budget constraints that you had hoped to maintain to complete the
project (not to mention the extremely difficult task of comparing the different
contractors to determine which one you feel most comfortable working with). Then, after
investing all this time, energy and money you are usually forced to either abandon the
project all together, because of the high cost, or begin the disappointing and costly task
of redesigning the entire plan. This is where Design/Build comes into play. By using our
Design/Build service we are able to complete the design much faster through a combination
of computer assisted drafting and hand drafting. The computer allows us a tremendous
amount of flexibility to make changes to the design immediately and on the spot. We also
furnish you with a realistic cost analysis during the design phase to avoid exceeding your
budget. This time spent together on the design phase enables us, as a team, to form a good
working relationship before the construction begins. Therefore, the transition from design
to construction is simplified. With your active participation in the design process and
combining the talents of the designer and contractor, your goals are achieved; a project
that will solve your particular problems with respect to design and maximum use of space,
along with maintaining a realistic budget. We have completed and are currently involved in
a number of Design/Build projects and would be delighted to speak with you about the
possibilities of a Design/Build project at your home. |
