There are many options to consider when it comes to remodeling. Not the least of which, who will handle your installation?
The design?
And where on Earth will you go for your supplies and materials?
The classic approach to taking on a remodel used to mean getting several bids for the project, starting with a designer or architect for a design plan, then looking for installation bids.
From there, your job as the homeowner was to act as intermediary for your project, coordinating and sourcing your own materials, all while keeping an eye on your budget and project deadlines with what could be multiple installers.
A Design Build Studio like dRemodeling Can Take on Your Project from Start to Finish
When dRemodeling was formed all those years ago, we saw an opportunity to go one step further as a remodeling company in the Greater Philadelphia Area, and truly offer a one-stop-shop experience for our clients.
With in-house interior designers, a fully-staffed installation team, including a Master Plumber and Electrician, and a design studio to source major brand materials at a discount, dRemodeling provides a seamless end-to-end remodeling experience for kitchens and baths.
Here are a few of the benefits of working with a Design Build studio like dRemodeling for your next kitchen or bath project:
1. Increased Accountability
Most general contractors will sub-contract based on the type of work available on any given day during the course of your remodel. If and when problems should arise, everyone scrambles to avoid the blame, causing new headaches, delays and an overall waste of your time. As a rule, dRemodeling does not sub-contract your project to just anyone. As the single-source for your project with our in-house remodeling team and dedicated office staff, including interior designers, relationships with our clients are fostered during the design stage, to ultimately set the construction phase of the project up for success.
2. Streamlined Communication
If and when issues may arise throughout your remodel (which they will, it’s just the nature of the beast), it’s a simple matter to give dRemodeling’s office staff a call. Clients are often surprised when they call with a question or concern for our installation team, expecting for the response to take some time, and we’re able to get back to them right away with a solution. dRemodeling’s designers and installation team members are in constant communication with each other, eliminating any communication delays for you as the client and solving problems quickly. Additionally, working with a designer and a construction expert from the beginning ensures any problems that may arise are discovered before work begins in many cases.
3. Quality Control
When subcontracting a job out, there is always the pressure to substitute cheaper materials or use substandard labor practices to get the job done quicker for more profit. And no matter what, there is a certain amount of ambiguity that can arise when it comes to the actual materials used in construction. This ambiguity is entirely eliminated with the Design Build model here at dRemodeling. Since your designer, project manager and installation team are all from the same company, the focus remains on your interests as the client, and any materials and labor specifications are both spelled out for you from the beginning.
4. Knowledgeable Budget Management
Discussing your budget during the design phase (not just after receiving installation bids) can help keep your project within a realistic budget overall. Our designers can work with you to determine a layout that best fits your budget, keeping you in the loop while the project scope is finalized and a final project cost is received based upon your feedback. Additionally, most general contractors or man-with-a-van operations are unable to accurately estimate the cost of materials or steer you in the right direction in terms of style and budget. This can negatively impact your overall budget, as materials are your second biggest cost when it comes to remodeling. With a design build studio, any costs associated with your remodel, including material type and quantity, are calculated upfront, saving you unnecessary stress and budget issues down the road.
5. Your Peace of Mind
As a one-stop-shop for kitchen and bath remodeling, perhaps the greatest benefit to partnering with dRemodeling is the overall decrease in your stress levels and your time spent as the client. Working with you from start to finish, we’ll do our best to take all of the unknowns out of the remodeling process. Completing your remodel all under one roof lessens any issues relating to miscommunication and typical project delays, which can speed up your project’s completion. With a dedicated office staff here to address any concerns and a project manager you can reach anytime for emergencies, you can rest assured your remodel is in good hands, right down to the smallest detail. There’s nothing quite as satisfying as seeing a finalized design plan and materials cost of your future dream space, even before the work begins. Working with a design build studio like dRemodeling, you know exactly what to expect out of your remodel.
