Working with Your Contractor to Bring Your Vision to Life

One of the best benefits of working with a full-service home remodeling company is the opportunity to collaborate with some of the most highly skilled tradespeople in the industry.

We don't expect you to already have your project's entire design and budget figured out – we all work together to discover what works best for you. Let's look at collaborative design and how it benefits our clients.

What is collaborative design?

Collaborative design is a design approach that focuses on teamwork and communication between the client and the contractors. The goal is to make the entire remodeling project run smoothly, completing it on time and on budget.

During a home renovation, multiple contractors will contribute their efforts to create the home of your dreams.

To avoid miscommunications from occurring, each contractor, along with our designers, schedulers, and project managers, work closely with the homeowner and each other to discuss the project and any concerns that might pop up. Working in this manner will help the project stay on track and keep our clients happy.

What are the benefits of collaborative design?

The remodeling process can be extremely stressful for everyone involved, but we find that using a collaborative approach makes the entire process much more manageable.

Our contractors are hand-picked and bring an abundance of knowledge and experience to our projects. They are the superstars who bring a project to life. The ability to have multiple parties share their ideas and expertise will reduce the risk of delays or mishaps.

Allowing the homeowners to be involved in the process from start to finish will also allow them to feel a sense of pride and ownership in the project. Instead of just writing a check and handing the project over to a contractor, our clients' opinions and suggestions are welcomed and encouraged, which leads to stronger working relationships and a more customized finished product.

When does collaboration begin?

Collaboration begins right away! With all of our clients, we conduct a thorough consultation where we learn all about their wants and needs. We listen to the homeowner's goals and priorities while throwing in some ideas and concerns. That level of communication continues throughout the project.

While your home is under construction, we will conduct regular check-ins and meetings where our clients will be kept up to date on progress, and the clients will share their feedback. This way, the chance of confusion is minimized, and everyone is on the same page.
