Design-Build Projects

Design‑Build Projects

For Larger Renovations, Structural Changes, and Full‑Home Transformations

Design‑Build is the right path for projects that require thoughtful planning, engineering coordination, and a fully managed pre‑construction process.
This approach gives you clarity, predictable outcomes, and a seamless transition from concept to construction.

Why Design‑Build?

Larger projects involve more moving parts — zoning, engineering, structural considerations, selections, budgeting, and permitting.
Our Design‑Build system brings everything under one roof so your project is:

• fully planned

• fully coordinated

• fully priced

• permit‑ready

• and built without surprises

This is the most efficient, predictable way to complete complex renovations in Volusia County.

Best For

• Removing or relocating walls

• Adding windows, doors, or structural openings

• Major layout reconfigurations

• Multi‑room renovations

• Additions and ADUs

• Whole‑home transformations

• New construction

If your project changes the structure, systems, or footprint of your home — this is your path.

How the Design‑Build System Works

Our Design‑Build process is structured into three clear tiers, each with defined deliverables and predictable billing.

This ensures you always know:

• what’s happening

• what you’re paying for

• what you’re receiving

• and what comes next

The Three Tiers

Feasibility & Concept Planning

We confirm what’s possible, establish direction, and outline the project framework.

Design & Scope Development

We refine the layout, selections, and scope while coordinating with engineering.

Pre‑Construction & Permitting

We finalize drawings, submit permits, respond to reviewers, and prepare for construction.

Billing Structure

• Design‑Build is billed in three equal installments

• Total pre‑construction fee is 5% of the projected construction cost

• 50% of the pre‑construction fee is credited back to your construction contract

This ensures your project is fully planned, engineered, and permit‑ready before construction begins.

What You Can Expect

• A single point of contact

• Transparent communication

• Clear timelines and deliverables

• Permit‑ready drawings

• Engineering coordination

• A fully developed construction budget

• A seamless handoff into the build phase

Is Design‑Build Right for You?

Choose this path if your project:

• involves structural changes

• requires engineering

• spans multiple rooms

• adds square footage

• needs zoning or permitting

• requires detailed planning before construction

If your project is simpler — like a kitchen or bathroom update — explore our Standard Remodeling path.
