Homeowners who are building a new construction home or embarking on a home renovation might be weighing their options when it comes to hiring the experts to take on their project. Mainly, you might be trying to map out the differences between hiring a Design-Build firm and a General Contractor. If you’re unsure how they differ, we have put together an outline for you to clearly see the advantage of a Design-Build firm over hiring a General Contractor, simply because of the convenience.
General Contractor
A General Contractor’s main objective is the construction, not anything else. As stated in their title, they were contracted to do the work and did not draw up the plans for the renovation or new home construction project.
Some disadvantages of hiring a General Contractor are the project could take longer than expected due to the contractor not being on the same page as the rest of the team hired for the project, budget can increase due to lack of communication and overall, the fact that there isn’t one point of contact for each portion of the project.
Design-Build Firm
On the contrary, Design-Build firms are a turn-key, one-stop-shop solution that streamlines the renovation or new build process from start to finish. With one source of accountability, Design-Build firms provide you with all the house building and home design services you need to complete your home project.
There’s no need to shop around to make all the working parts of the new home construction process work for your timeline and budget. We establish all your needs from the start and work together with our partners to ensure we’re on time and within budget all throughout the process.
