You have heard stories of renovations going way over budget. This usually happens when the person drawing plans and the builder are not on the same page. In New England, we see homeowners pay for designs that cost double their budget to build.

The traditional method creates a gap between vision and reality. Designers draw beauty, but builders know current costs.

So, why pay for a set of blueprints that you might not actually be able to afford to build?

Design-build fixes this by putting everyone on one team. We design to your budget from day one. Before calling us, make a must-have list and know your top budget number. When we visit, we check plumbing stacks and framing immediately. We tell you instantly if an idea blows the budget so we can pivot.

Don’t believe the myth that this costs more. It actually saves money by avoiding unbuildable plans. You keep control, but we guide you to realistic choices. For example, a client recently wanted a master bath upgrade. A standalone designer might have moved the toilet five feet, costing thousands in pipe work. Because we were involved, we optimized the layout around the existing stack instead. They saved that money and used it for heated floors and a steam shower.

Choosing one team means less stress, one phone number, and a design that fits your wallet. Reach out and we will help you make a plan.
