The Advantages of Design-Build

Wood Wise is a design-build company, meaning that we provide complete design and planning as well as start-to-finish construction for your project. You get the advantage of knowing your ballpark costs early in the design process. It is frustrating for homeowners to hire an architect, develop plans over several months, then find that their new design, with everything they wanted, is way beyond their budget. Designing a project that fits your budget is a smarter process.

The design-build model provides quite a few significant advantages:

• Personalized Plans

  Knowing your lifestyle, tastes, concerns and budget expectations, is essential for our design team to provide a unique, personalized version of the home improvements you want.

• Project Management

  Our field team – carpenters, engineers, subcontractors, and outstanding project manager, Ben – turn the plan into reality. Ben serves as your project advocate and team leader throughout construction.

• Fixed Bid & Cost Savings

  With a Fixed Bid, you agree to a scope of work without the worry and risk of cost overruns. We know what each aspect of a renovation costs, and can suggest cost-saving design methods and materials that still achieve the desired results.

• Design Options & Support

  We develop multiple design options for you to consider. Typically, the best parts of several options are combined to create the final plan. Kathy will assist you throughout the project, helping you navigate showroom selections, colors, finishes, and styles.

• Convenience & Communication

  Having one team handle all aspects of your renovation streamlines the process, improves communication, and greatly reduces the chances of costly surprises and “renovation frustration.”
