In-House Design Build Services
It's critical to involve your builder during the design phase of your project. Whether you're planning new construction or a remodeling renovation, only an experienced builder can keep your project on budget. Architects and designers often lack detailed knowledge of building or remodeling costs, which is where a builder's expertise becomes invaluable. The primary role of your builder should be to ensure that the final design aligns with your budget.
While many remodeling and building contractors claim to offer full design-build services, few have in-house designers or architects. Most outsource design services to independent firms, often adding a markup to the cost. At ZeroDown Consulting, we produce our designs in-house with our team of architectural design professionals. If an architect is needed, we refer you to one of our approved vendors, who works directly for you under our supervision—always at their direct cost, with no markups. You pay only the builder's cost for all services.
Our designs are created with specific budget numbers in mind, leveraging our experience as a design-builder with hundreds of completed projects. We prioritize features that are often overlooked by traditional architects or builders, such as ample closet space, large kitchens with minimal cross-traffic, space optimization, expansive bedrooms, generous pantries, efficient cabinet configurations, and well-designed outdoor entertaining areas.
