Everything Changes at DesignHOME Studios

imagine the possibilities

Inspired New and Renovated Homes, designed to your “All-In” budget, in the best locations, delivered to you from a SingleSOURCE.

The DesignHOME
Difference

SingleSOURCE Delivery

Traditional Design-bid-build model
You are responsible for:
  • Establishing an "All-In" Budget
  • Coordinate Architectural Contract
  • Coordinate Civil Engineering Contract
  • Coordinate Interior Design Contract
  • Coordinate Permits and Approvals
  • Coordinate Cost Control
  • Coordinate General Contractor Contract
  • Coordinate Critical Path Planning

Traditional design-bid-build models require the client to manage and coordinate different design professionals. Clients rely on these professionals for design, but not for cost control, permits or construction starts and project completion.

As a result, the traditional process often erodes time and money leaving many projects defunct.

vs
DesignHOME Singlesource model
DesignHOME is responsible for:
  • Everything!

DesignHOME Studio’s SingleSOURCE model recognizes the inter-dependence between design, costs, construction and project completion and the need for all team members to be aligned with a common purpose.

Everything changes when we throw out the rule book and transfer those responsibilities from the client to our SingleSOURCE Delivery model… DesignHOME transform the process, assuming responsibility for producing the best possible designs, delivering on-time, for a client-established maximum “All-In” cost.

Instead of hidden and opaque mark-ups on construction costs, DesignHOME Studios relies on a fixed design and general contracting fee allowing us to offer transparent “To the trade” construction pricing. Common objectives are now aligned creating an unbreakable alliance fostering collaboration and teamwork.
