Design-Build Contractor VS General Contractor in home remodeling

The major advantage of selecting a Design-Build Contractor over General contractor for home remodeling projects is that a design-build contractor will design and show you how the remodeling project will look before the construction is started. This help in saving cost and time associated with change orders that happen during or after construction when the owner realizes that he/she does not like something and wants to make a change. 3-dimensional designing is an excellent and necessary tool for every home remodeling project which involves a little more than just replacing existing finishes. If the project includes opening up of the floor plan or expanding kitchen or remodeling other living spaces then it really helps the home owner in making design & cost related decisions If he/she can see it in 3-D. A good Design-Build Contractor will provide 3-D designing services at a nominal cost that saves, in the long run, substantial costs, time and heart burns associated with undesirable results.
