Design Build - One Stop Shopping

I was taking some time recently to catch up with people on facebook, when I came across a status update from one of our clients. She was seeking help from her online friends to find good architects who could help her design an In-law addition. I quickly thought to myself "OH NO! She doesn’t know about our design-build process!"

I quickly messaged her and told her that if she was looking for an architect I know a really good one. We are always happy to work with architects but some projects we find don’t need them or some client’s budgets don’t work well with the architect model. I also told her that Almar has what we call a Design Build process where we can do designs and plans in house for her as part of our one-stop-shopping experience.
Almar’s Design Build process starts with your budget and we create plans that help you visually see your project before Almar starts to build it. Our process combines the design with our remodeling knowledge right from the beginning, allowing you and Almar to have input into the project even before work gets started! As the customer, you are the most important member of our design-build team. Your wishes and ideas drive the design, materials, selection and budget. Our state of the art design software allows 3 dimensional photo-realistic renderings, site and floor plans and walk-through of your project.

The Design/Build process provides you with the convenience of working with one company to design and build your entire project. This method eliminates communications problems that often pop up between an architect and the contractor that leave you in the middle, often having to pay more to one or both of them to solve the problem.







One of the things I really like about this process is when we are done and have a set of plans you could go away on vacation and come back to have the project done exactly how it laid out in the plans. In addition to these great features.

* One point of contact and responsibility for building plans, interior design, and construction.
* Greater quality control at every step and with every choice.
* Early knowledge of firm costs, and therefore, no grand surprises late in the project.
* Build-able plans are created early on, so you can proceed with confidence.
* Costs are controlled.
* The project begins on time and ends on time.
* Your designers and professional builders have the experience with the products you will use.
* Better all around communications, from start to finish.


So don’t forget if you are thinking about that addition, expanded kitchen, bath or basement give ALmar a call first.
