Why Should You Hire a Design-Build Company For Your Next Remodel?

Choosing the right remodeling company is one of the most important decisions you'll make for your home. Remodeling is a significant investment, and since we spend so much time in our homes, we want the results to be exceptional! So, who should you hire for your next kitchen, bathroom, or whole-home remodel?

Many homeowners in Wichita, KS, ask this very question. Once you understand what a Design-Build company is, the answer becomes clear.

What is a Design-Build Company?

Pinnacle is a Design-Build (or Design-Remodel) company, meaning we handle your entire remodel—from initial concept and design to final construction and finishing touches. Instead of working with separate designers, architects, and contractors, you have one dedicated team managing the entire process. This streamlined approach saves time, reduces costs, and ensures a cohesive, high-quality result.

While there are other ways to approach a remodel, we’ve seen firsthand the challenges homeowners face when working with separate design and construction teams.

The Problem with Traditional Remodeling Approaches

We recently collaborated with an architect on a commercial project, and the experience highlighted the downsides of the traditional design-bid-build approach:

• Longer Timelines: The design phase alone took months to complete.

• Inefficient Budgeting: The design wasn’t created with real construction costs in mind, leading to expensive, impractical plans.

• Lack of Practical Experience: The fixtures and materials selected were overpriced, forcing us to rework the design ourselves.

While the architect was skilled, the process would have been far more efficient if the design and construction teams had worked together from the start.

Why Design-Build is the Best Approach

By keeping design and construction under one roof, we provide a more seamless, efficient, and cost-effective remodeling experience. Here’s why:

✅ Seamless Process: From concept to completion, we ensure that all details are accounted for early, preventing costly changes later.

💰 Budget-Friendly: With designers and builders working together, we create designs that look amazing while staying within your budget.

🔄 Greater Accountability: When separate companies handle design and construction, miscommunications can lead to unexpected costs for the homeowner. With Design-Build, one team is responsible for the entire project and takes responsibility for internal mishaps along the way.

📞 Better Communication: Our designers and construction professionals work in the same location, allowing for constant collaboration and problem-solving. This minimizes project delays and surprises.
