3 Advantages of Working with a Design-Build Firm

The most important remodeling decision you’ll make isn’t the materials you’ll install; it isn’t the layout you’ll select; it isn’t even the budget you’ll set. The most important remodeling decision you’ll make is which contractor you’ll trust to journey alongside you as your goals transform into realities. An excellent remodeler is one who listens carefully to your needs, has the expertise to meet and even go beyond them, and is invested in your satisfaction with the final outcome. How do you find this remodeler? Here are the three reasons that working with a Hudson Valley, NY Design Build Firm is the best solution.

1. You’ll Receive Thorough Project Guidance and a Personalized Design

When you work with a traditional contractor, the job is typically in-and-out: your contractor receives the designs from you/your designer, comes in for construction, and leaves as soon as the job’s completed. Design-build firms, on the other hand, are intimately familiar with every minute step of the remodeling process. You’ll be guided through each phase, from design ideation and 3D renderings to material selections that keep your budget on track to final project completion.

When you work with a competent design-build company, you can rest assured that details won’t be overlooked, processes won’t be forgotten, and goals won’t slip through the cracks. Of course, this level of involvement also means you’re not getting out-of-the-box designs. Instead, you’re getting high-end, personalized plans.

2. You’ll Benefit from Fast and Accurate Communication Channels

Another advantage of working with design-build firms is that communication is faster and more accurate. Because your entire team is working together in-house, everyone from your office assistant and designer to your project foreman, carpenter, plumber, and electrician is on the page and can swiftly and accurately relay information.

Since all “departments” are on the same team in the same spot working on the same project, it’s also easy for you as the homeowner to reach whomever you need with questions and plan revisions. Of course, faster and more accurate communication also entails faster project completion and more satisfactory end results.

3. You Can Expect High-Quality Finishes

Finally, because you’re working with one contractor from start to finish, you can expect to see the quality you’ve loved in their previous projects in your own home. When you work with multiple contractors, “blame games” can be common since it’s difficult to tell exactly where something went wrong. With design-builders like Kehoe Kustom, LLC on the other hand, nothing changes hands, so there’s a higher degree of accountability and project ownership.
