Steady GUIDANCE from concept to COMPLETION
The Design-Build approach to home remodeling resolves many issues associated with the traditional experience. It brings all aspects of the project together to efficiently plan, design, and build life-enriching residential projects.
Traditional remodeling teams
Homeowners like you would take on the daunting task of coordinating, communicating, and managing multiple contractors:
- A designer
- An architect
- An engineer
- A general contractor + subcontractors (electrical, plumbing, insulation etc.)
- Plus the red tape of city/township permits and zoning
All this can lead to frustrating complications including:
The Design-Build advantage
A Design-Build team like Bellweather will act as your single point of contact every step of the way.
Our streamlined approach integrates all the services related to your remodel into one, overarching strategy. We give you peace of mind that there is a single, dedicated team at the helm of your project.
Homeowners increasingly choose the Design-Build approach for its many advantages over the traditional model:
Coordination Issues
You act as an intermediary, juggling multiple project partners, scheduling, and any complications that may arise.
Single Point of Accountability
Bellweather takes responsibility for every step of the journey, leading all project partners towards your fully-realized vision.
Communication Breakdown
Trying to keep up with so many project partners can lead to misunderstandings, frustrating delays, and avoidable mistakes.
Easy Communication
With a single point of contact, our team is in lock-step from Day 1, preventing misunderstandings, potential conflicts, and unnecessary disagreements.
Surprise Costs
Siloed teams may create issues during construction, leading to confusion and costly change orders. No matter who is to blame, the homeowner typically has to foot the bill.
Cost Efficiency
With the design and build teams in sync from the start, we can identify potential issues early on, reducing the likelihood of costly redesigns or changes during construction.
Schedule Delays
Because design must be done before construction can begin, any changes during construction may require going back to the drawing board, putting more time between you and a finished product.
Faster Project Delivery
Our design and construction efforts are rooted in thoughtful upfront planning, allowing faster decision-making, fewer hiccups, and ultimately, quicker project completion.
Conflict and Disputes
It can be challenging to hold individual parties accountable for the overall success of the project, and the potential finger-pointing can turn a great project into a hassle.
Increased Collaboration
Ongoing, well-managed team collaboration means better overall communication, stronger problem-solving and high-quality results that you’ll be proud to live in.
Missed Opportunities
With their eye on the finish line, disjointed teams may overlook unique opportunities to design solutions that could not only make your home more functional and valuable, but better tell your unique story.
Creative Craftsmanship
Not only do we take the burden of risk from you, the homeowner, but we also take every opportunity to exceed your expectations with thoughtfully considered design choices that resonate with you and your family.
Stress
Managing multiple contracts, coordinating schedules, and resolving disputes can put a significant burden on you as the project lead, creating unnecessary stress and frustration throughout the process.
Reassurance
You can rest easy knowing that you have one team looking out for your best interests and a main point of contact for any questions throughout the process.
