Custom Design & Planning



The benefit of a remodel design is that it provides you multiple levels of mental clarity, predictability, and accountability to your remodel. When you have a well-crafted design plan, your remodel has a clear scope and purpose. The job cost is also more predictable and your final overall satisfaction is much higher.
You do yourself a huge favor when you provide your build team with a set of designs for a remodel. It gives everyone a clear, attainable goal for your project from the onset. By having design plans, your build team can better organize the work on your home. They can manage their construction schedule, order the correct materials, and hire any needed subcontractors to complete the job.
Design plans are also one of the best ways to prevent unwelcome surprises during construction. For remodels that begin without designs, you run the risk of additional costs down the road. A contractor might get halfway through a build and realize that the job will be more complicated than expected. When you take the time to measure, plan, and fully design a remodel, your build team is more likely to understand exactly what to build and how to go about it.

When you begin a remodel with only a general idea of what it will look like, chances are you’ll only have a general idea of how much it will cost, too. You may have a budget in mind, but if you meet your budget and your project is only halfway complete, you either end with a half-finished remodel or you fork out more cash.
This is another area where remodel designs provide value to your project. When you have a clearly defined scope of work, project design, and material selections, it’s easier to accurately predict the cost. In fact, when you work with a company like Lamont Bros., the designs directly inform the cost. This means that the contract price correlates to the designs. This way, you know exactly how much your remodel will cost before it even begins.
Working with a professional remodel designer gives you the opportunity to decide exactly what you want before construction begins. You can decide on everything from general remodel layout all the way down to the type of flooring and cabinet doors you want. And, since the designs influence the cost, you can work with your budget while designing the remodel, avoiding any cost surprises.
One of the most valuable assets of a good remodel design is that it gives you the ability to visualize how your remodel will look. This way, you can make adjustments in the design phase rather than during construction. At Axis Home Services, our designers use 3D design renders, so you can see computer-generated designs of your remodeled home.
By the end of your project, the designs can have a tremendous impact on your overall satisfaction. When you have the opportunity to preview and fine-tune your design and know beforehand how much your remodel will cost, you’re likely to be much happier with the end result.
Once you decide if your remodel needs design plans before construction, the next step is to choose how to get your designs. Be careful! Not all remodel design plans are created equal. It’s important for you to consider your options before hiring a designer, as some are better suited to your project than others.
Computer-aided design, commonly abbreviated as CAD, is a type of software used to create construction drawings. CAD software is relatively inexpensive and anyone can learn how to use it. As a result, anyone can buy a software license and market themselves as “professional CAD designers.” You can rest assured that the team at Axis Home Services have years of experience with this type of software and produce top quality design plans.
