Whole Home Renovations with a Design Build Approach

A whole home renovation involves transforming multiple areas of a house, either throughout the interior, exterior, or both. When the project spans several rooms or areas, it requires a lot of planning, coordination, and attention to detail. These renovations can often be completed while the homeowner still lives in the space, but it takes collaboration and good communication between the client and the project team.

Tackling several spaces at once usually comes with a long wish list of improvements and goals. Managing these details—starting from the initial vision to the project’s completion—can become complex. This is when a design-build approach has its advantages. By having a single point of contact overseeing both the design and build phases, we can be sure that your wish list gets accounted for all the way down the line. Additionally, when remodeling it’s not uncommon to uncover the unexpected. Within the design build model, adjustments to the plans can be made quickly and efficiently to keep the project moving and still keep the client’s best interest in mind.

What to Expect During a Whole Home Renovation

The process starts with concept development and a space usage conversation to help us understand what you hope to get out of this remodel. Once we have an idea of what you want, we will get busy drawing, preparing, and estimating for the project and review these things with you along each step of the way. Once we have an agreed upon design and contract, we will start the permitting process and procurement so that construction goes smoothly once it begins.

Depending on the size of the home, what resources you may have, and which rooms we are working in, it may make the most sense for you to move out during a whole home renovation. This is not always the case but it can be a more comfortable option.In other cases, we can sometimes phase the project so certain areas of the home are usable while we are working in others and then we swap places for phase two of construction.

This will vary drastically depending on scope but multiple room remodels typically take between 8-20 Weeks.

Whether you need a building permit for your project depends on how in depth the work will be. If you are doing a pull-put style remodel where you are replacing finishes in their same location, a building permit is not required. When your renovation includes moving or altering Load bearing framing, Plumbing, Electrical, or HVAC fixture locations, your project will require a building permit. Remember, if you are hiring a licensed general contractor, it is their responsibility to pull the building permit, NOT YOU!

As part of our design phase, we focus on detailed product selections. This involves researching your preferences, obtaining quotes for various options, and meeting with you to review these selections. Through this process, we carefully vet each product to ensure it comes from a reputable source and is backed by a reliable warranty. When clients purchase their own products, we cannot offer warranties on those items because they have not gone through our selections process. We recommend allowing us to handle the procurement of all materials for the project because it not only streamlines the process but also saves you potential headaches during and after the renovation.
