If you decide a design/build approach is the right way to go, the next question is how to choose the right renovation partner.
By all means, shop around, but understand that you are not comparing apples to apples. A quote from one company will only include some of the same services and features of the next company. The lowest bid often differs from the final bid by the time change orders are made to give you the desired renovation. Remember to ask as many questions about what is and is not included in the contractor’s proposal. Here are a few factors to consider when choosing a design/build firm to work with on your home remodeling project.
1. The relationship is key
2. Values and longevity of the design-build firm are important
