Enjoy the added value a design-build firm brings to every project

There’s nothing more heartbreaking than investing the time to work with an architect to create the ideal plan only to discover from a General Contractor that the cost of building that plan far exceeds your budget. That’s where a design-build firm can help. By marrying a design with its practical implementation from the very first meeting, a design-build firm will create a plan that not only works, but works within your budget.

In a design-build firm, the same company creates your design plan and then builds it, eliminating guesswork and time spent going back and forth between an architect and a general contractor.

But design-build comes with even more advantages…

Whereas some architects may not have a realistic feel for what projects like a Charlotte renovation or home addition actually cost to build, and some contractors might not understand why a plan was drawn a certain way, a design-build firm has a deep understanding of both sides. Drawing upon their practical experience of what has worked in the field, a design-build firm takes your vision, offers suggestions that fit both your budget and your ultimate goals, and creates a plan that works for you.

Instead of just blindly building “to plan,” a design-build firm ensures that what they are building in the field works on all levels – structural, aesthetic, functional and budgetary. This marriage of high-level vision and laser-focused implementation results in a project that looks exactly as you envision, functions as you require and falls within your budget.
