At Howell Design & Build, we bring together professional design and construction expertise at the beginning of your project. Working as a team with the architect, we oversee the design process, providing construction input and cost estimates as the project is being designed.

The Benefits of Design-Build include:

• Convenience and consistency of working with one firm from start to finish.
• “Value Engineering” – during design, we counsel you on the selection of materials and finishes for your home that represent good values within your budget while meeting your vision for your home.
• Construction concerns are factored in right from the start of your project. This greatly reduces the chances of costly or time-consuming surprises once the project is under construction.
• Efficiency of early communication between the design and construction team saves you time and money.
• Estimating costs as soon as preliminary sketches are complete helps guide the design process towards a realistic final design.
• Providing an exceptionally detailed estimate as the design develops helps you identify options for controlling costs.
• During construction, you have the reassurance of knowing that the construction team is completely familiar with the design. You run less risk that design elements will be misinterpreted or that necessary materials will not be available and cause delays or changes.
