Homeowners planning a remodel usually choose between two paths: hire an architect and a contractor separately, or work with one design-build team that handles both.
The design-bid-build route
You hire an architect to design the project, then take those plans out to bid with multiple contractors. It can produce a highly customized design, but it also means two relationships to manage and two places where miscommunication can creep in.
The design-build route
One team owns the whole project from concept through construction, which tends to mean fewer surprises on budget and timeline.
- Single point of accountability
- Budget checked at every design decision
- Faster overall timeline
Neither approach is wrong, it depends on how hands-on you want to be and how much you value a single point of contact.
