You have probably heard of the term “design–build”, but what is it that, exactly? Design-build is a one-stop, seamless way to build a home or undertake a remodeling project. Think of the players as having hats. There is a “design hat” and a “construction hat” needed to do a construction project. Most people think these are two separate disciplines, but they do not have to be. In fact, it’s better if they are not! With the design-build approach, one company wears both of these hats.

Instead of having a separate architect (who does not know what things cost, or what things might be overly complex to build), and a separate builder, they are wrapped into one firm that does it all. Even better, most design–build companies also take care of the permitting process and also the engineering work required to build or remodel. This is why we are such big proponents of design-build at Pekarske Builders.
