Contractor Recommends Using Design/Builders for Home Remodeling
A Design/Builder is a Better Investment When Doing Home Renovations or Additions.
Los angeles, CA, March 23, 2008 --(PR.com)-- According to a survey recently conducted by Angies List, a website where members rate specific contractors and can also choose contractors based on their ratings, homeowners intend to spend 13% more money this year over last year on their home improvement and maintenance projects.
When you are planning a major remodeling project such as a kitchen, living room, bathroom or room addition, who do you turn to for planning and designing the project? The two top choices would be to hire an architect or a design/builder. The question is which one should you hire? Which one would be better? LA contractor and licensed architect Roger Perron says that a designer/builder is a better investment for the homeowner embarking on a home remodeling or home addition project.
“In this day and age of inflated and unstable home prices many homeowners are foregoing plans to trade up to a larger or nicer home and are instead, planning on doing improvements to their existing homes. I think that a homeowner is best served by a design/builder. This type of builder is more in tune with your remodeling budget and can therefore create a design that will be best able to stay within it. In my experience, an architect tends to be somewhat detached from the building part of the project; a design/builder, however, because of his intimate familiarity with the building process and materials, will tend to do a better job. A qualified design/builder will save the owner money from preventing any architect/builder conflicts. The design/builder is not only interested in the design, but has responsibility for the final product. And a design/builder process saves money since the homeowner does not have to pay the architect a heavy fee to oversee the project once a week, which is oftentimes 10% of the construction contract price.”
