QUALIFYING THE DESIGN BUILD CONTRACTOR

Design Build works because it creates a partnership between the desire or needs of the client, the creativity of the building designer and the expertise and experience of the builder or remodeler, where each is obligated to the other, so that all are committed to the satisfactory completion of the project.

What qualifies a company to be a design build firm? Do they perform design in house, or do they partner with someone else? What are their design and or build qualifications?

The term “Professional” is thrown around rather easily, but what does it really mean to be a professional remodeler?

Think about your first visit to a doctor’s office. What did you look for? Pictures of past patients? The size of the office staff? How well dressed they were? Were they all wearing a company shirt?

No, none of those things really speaks to the doctor’s qualifications or professionalism or tells you enough about the person that you plan on trusting with your health and well-being. Our qualifications should show you that we can be trusted with the well being of your home.
