Benefits of Hiring a Design-Build Company
Why hire a veritable army of builders, designer and contractors when you can hire a design-build company instead, which is the equivalent of home renovation one-stop shopping? A design-build firm can manage your entire home remodeling project from start to finish and keep track of every little detail for you, giving you complete peace of mind. Once you know all the things a design-build firm can do, there really is no need to shop around elsewhere. According to Paul DeFeis, senior managing partner of Trade Mark Design & Build in Hawthorne, New Jersey, hiring a design-build firm is the only way to go when it comes to home remodeling in the North Jersey area. Your first meeting, which is always complimentary, will be on the project site, and you will get the first design back within just one week. Best of all, you will get a preliminary budget analysis based on projects similar to yours, so you'll have an idea of what will be expected from the very beginning. Here are some of the things you will not have to worry about if you hire a design-build company:
- Building permits: Your design-build company will get them for you.
- Hiring an architect or engineer: Trade Mark Design & Build works with architects and engineers as part of its daily business, and will get them on board for you.
- Getting a project coordinator: Once the project is up and running, one will be appointed.
- Selecting products: A project coordinator will go with you to help you select everything you need, from kitchen appliances to bathroom fixtures to paint.
Hiring a design-build company also means that you will benefit from more enhanced communication. When you choose a design-build company, the design is developed along with the budgetary goals and construction methods, with each given equal weight. As a result, a project is more likely to be realized than with a pure design approach. There is also increased accountability when a design-build firm is utilized. Have you ever complained to your contractor about some aspect of your remodeling project only to have him point a finger at someone else? This does not happen with an integrated design-build approach. Design revisions, budget questions, feedback, and permits are all routed back to a single firm. This also makes it a lot easier to give and get feedback. Finally, working with a design-build company means that you will get the individual attention that your project deserves. All too often, people hire contractors who are in a hurry to complete one project in order to move on to another as quickly as possible and maximize profit. With a design-build company, it's the attention to detail that really stands out, and the fact that everything is done with a personal touch. So for all of your home remodeling needs in the North Jersey area, there really is no need to look anywhere else than Trade Mark Design & Build!
