A design-build-remodeling company will manage the entire process of pre-construction/design and construction from start to finish. This includes preliminary vision and budget planning, schematic designs, engagement of licensed architect, kitchen and bath design, finish selections, 3D drawings, trade contractor site visits, and exploring different design and scope options to see if feasible.
