The Design Builders Advantage
Design, building-science choices, selections, scope, pricing, and construction are handled as one connected process with clear responsibility.
As-is and proposed Chief Architect models, selections, scope, and constructability decisions are developed for a home Design Builders expects to build.
Site conditions and available project information are studied before the construction scope is finalized. LIDAR is used where it improves documentation and coordination.
The scope, selections, pricing, and any stated allowances are documented before construction so the fixed-price contract is clear.
Design Builders coordinates trade partners, materials, inspections, quality review, decisions, and the critical path through completion.
