Design Notes

Choosing A Design Professional

The advantage of using a Design/Remodel/Build Company is that all the processes and work are centralized. Cost savings can also be realized by keeping all of the services under one roof.

Architects on the other hand, have a place in our industry. Yet one major drawback when using an architect is that they tend to be distanced from projects and cannot respond rapidly to challenges and changes to the project. This frequently slows down the progress of the work.

Design/Remodel/Build Companies also have an inherent advantage in knowing real-time costs. Our experience with some architects is that that tend to over-design and under-estimate the cost of projects.

New From Kohler
We Recommend

We love books! Especially about design, remodeling and our homes. We own several coffee table sized books that we leaf through looking for ideas and inspiration. One of them, I would like to feature here is part of the not so big house series written by Sarah Susanka. NotSoBigHouse.com

Not So Big Remodeling, published in 2008 shows the way to remodeling your existing home without super sizing. Some of the ideas and features are from her earlier books which can help you visualize how your home can be. This book is timely in that many homeowners (we're one of them!) are realizing that it makes good economic sense to stay put and adapt their homes to fit their lifestyle.  

When you contact @designREMODEL, you will meet with the hands-on owner of the company John Clark, who will spend much of his time LISTENING to you. Questions will be asked about you and your home. He will discuss with you your wishes, wants and goals for your project. 

 

Design & Planning:

Enough cannot be said for how critical design and planning are for achieving ideal end results of your remodeling project.

Ideal end results would be "You are thrilled with how much your quality of life has improved and the remodeling project fits perfectly into your home."

From projects as small as a bathroom to a whole house remodel: Each will benefit from time spent developing and refining a design.  Solutions often present themselves when we are hunched over existing drawings of your home that are not always obvious to us when we are actually in your home.

Baths & Kitchens are usually designed using PRO-Kitchen software which is linked to the catalogs of our prefered cabinet builders. This allows for a highly accurate design.

Additions and larger projects are created by our partner firm using Chief Architect, one of the most sophisticated design programs on the market.

By taking advantage of technology, you will be able to visulize how your home will look with the changes and additions. The level of detail in the design and plans allow for more accurate cost projections.

Below are examples of the designs that are possible using the software.
