Design-Build: What Is It?
Des Moines Metro Area Home Remodeling
What Is a Design-Build Contractor?
Design-Build: You may feel like you’ve been seeing that term more and more as you do research for your home remodeling project. There’s a reason for that – it’s great. We’re here to explain why.
The design-build method bridges the gap between constructibility and design. In working with a design-build contractor, you’re working with a team that speaks the language of all necessary parties involved: homeowner, designer, and builder. You have one team dedicated to each and every aspect of your project, from beginning to end.

What's The Difference?
With a traditional, non-design-build method, you as the homeowner bear the burden of coming up with the design. This may sound, initially, like something you’d love to take on – but there’s so much more to designing your remodeling project than just filling your Pinterest board with things you love (though that is very fun).
Traditional methods require the homeowner to communicate ideas to a designer, who then creates a space that the homeowner loves. What’s wrong with that, you ask? Nothing, per se, until the homeowner presents the design to a contractor, and the contractor presents the price for all of the amazing, beautiful finishes produced by the designer.
Designing the space you’ve always dreamed of requires speaking a language not many homeowners speak. Not only does a design-build contractor speak the language, but we can also properly translate it to ensure exactly what you’re envisioning gets brought to life and falls within your determined budget. Our team can understand what you want, and what you like – we're experts at budgeting, and are familiar with the sequence and process of remodeling projects.
We take pride in taking the burden off of you. Our design-build team is fueled by the passion for translating homeowners’ needs, wants, likes, loves, and ideas into designs and finished products that fit your lifestyle, timeline, and budget.
One team. One point of communication. One budget. One objective: transforming your house into a home, and making it Compelling.
