Design Build vs Hiring an Architect

There are two different approaches to Home Remodeling and Home Construction: hiring an architect or choosing a Design-Build company. At Takitani Construction, we offer Design/Build services in Maui to complete your home remodeling project with the highest quality work at a reasonable price.

Hiring an architect and bidding a project out to contractors may fit in some situations. However, there are compelling reasons to consider Design-Build home remodeling:

• Instead of taking the risk an architect will over design and over spec your project, Design – Build gives you the luxury of establishing a design and getting an accurate price for your project up front.
• A reputable Design-Build contractor will work with you to design a remodel that meets your budgetary and functional needs.
• There will be limited, if any, field issues because a Design-Build Contractor works with the engineer upfront to resolve any design, structural, or existing condition discrepancies in the building plans. Time is money. With a design/build contractor, changes can be priced and implemented swiftly.

In summary, it is usually in your best interest to choose the Design-Build method for most home remodeling projects because the contractor has the ability to handle the field changes that are inherent with any project.
