OUR DESIGN-BUILD PROCESS 

One Team. Two Phases. One Clear Plan.

The CORE Design-Build Experience

Design-Build means your project is designed, scoped, and constructed by one unified team — not divided between separate designers and contractors.

At CORE Remodeling Services, Inc., architects, designers, estimators, and builders collaborate from the very beginning. This integrated approach ensures your project aligns with your vision, your home, and your budget before construction begins.

No handoffs. No misalignment. Clear expectations from the start.

Why Design-Build Matters

Traditional remodeling often requires homeowners to coordinate between independent designers and contractors — managing communication, reconciling budgets, and resolving conflicts on their own.

Our Design-Build model eliminates that burden. By integrating planning and construction, we identify challenges early, control costs accurately, and deliver a more predictable, organized remodeling experience from start to finish.

The CORE Process

Step 1: Project Compatibility Consultation

  • Share photos of your space
  • Meet via Zoom to review your goals and discuss realistic budget ranges
  • Confirm mutual fit before scheduling an in-home consultation

Step 2: In-Home Consultation

  • Measure and document your space
  • Discuss priorities, design direction, and functional needs
  • Refine scope and budget expectations

If both parties wish to move forward, we prepare a Design-Build Agreement outlining next steps.

Step 3: Design-Build Agreement

Your agreement defines project phases, deliverables, and an estimated investment range. Once signed and the design retainer is received, we begin the design and planning phase.

Step 4: Design & Planning

  • Develop design concepts and construction drawings
  • Guide material and product selections
  • Create detailed specifications for accurate pricing
  • Align scope and budget before construction begins

This phase results in a fully defined project — thoughtfully designed and financially aligned.

Step 5: Production / Construction

Once plans and selections are finalized, we issue your Fixed-Price Construction Contract — clearly defining scope, specifications, timeline, and total investment.

  • Complete permit-ready documentation
  • Secure all required building permits
  • Develop a detailed construction schedule within our project management system
  • Host a pre-construction meeting to review expectations

If we’ve earned your confidence, we’ll ask for your referral — and invite you to share your experience through a testimonial or online review.
