How a Design-Build Renovation Should Work

No architect here, contractor there, designer somewhere else. We are your single source for design, selections, and construction — which means one point of contact, one accountable team, and zero finger-pointing. Two clear agreements keep it simple: one to design and price your project, and one to build it. Here’s how it works for homeowners across Dearborn, Dearborn Heights, and nearby communities.

PHASE 03 · PRECONSTRUCTION

Design & Source

Under a separate preconstruction agreement, we turn your ideas into a complete plan: 3D renderings, curated finish selections, and a check for hidden conditions. Once you approve the design, you get a fixed-price build contract — no surprises, no change-order games, no budget creep.

  • • Preconstruction agreement: defines design scope and fee
  • • Adjusting layout and material selection
  • • 3D renderings & elevations with mood boards
  • • Site scoping to verify hidden conditions
  • • Result: "No surprises" fixed-price build contract
  • • Yours to keep: the finished design, whether or not you build with us

  • • 24/7 Construction Management software access
  • • Weekly progress updates and walkthroughs
  • • Result: Your vision, turned into reality
