Turning Your Vision into a Reality: The Benefits of Design Build Services

April 17th, 2019

If you’ve decided to add beauty and allure to your home with a renovation to your kitchen, bathroom, or any other area of the house, then you’ll want to work with a company who can provide an open-minded approach to making your vision a reality.

From providing you with thorough and ongoing communication, to fostering a friendly sharing of ideas and maximizing productivity for your project, only a design-build company can offer the most progressive method of project delivery. In fact, it’s quickly replacing design-bid approaches as the industry standard.

At Munz Construction, we provide expert home remodeling services throughout Bucks County, PA, and we understand that many construction and renovation projects require collaboration, shared goals, and a responsibility to get the job completed in a timely fashion, and within budget. By hiring our design-build services, we can provide you and your project with the care and attention to detail it deserves.

Let’s take a look at some of the most significant advantages of our design-build services:

A Single Source

With design-bid methods, you would need to hire a design firm and then a separate contractor to execute the plans. That leaves a lot of room for mistakes and miscommunications. Instead, a design-build firm allows you to deal with just one entity through the entire process. This process encourages teamwork, shared responsibility, and cooperation. All of this creates the ideal conditions for a successful construction project.

Budget Management

By discussing your budget with us during the design phase, we can work with you to help keep the final project within those limits. This is preferable over the design-bid process, which requires waiting until the bids come in to set project prices. With a design-build approach, these costs are clearly defined at the outset of the project and adhered to. This saves you from surprise expenses that can occur throughout the renovation. Instead, they’re already factored into the budget.

Quality Control

Since we serve as your designer, engineer, and builder, then there is no ambiguity to arise with things like materials and construction specifications. When there are many participants, such as architects, designers, engineers, and contractors involved in a renovation, each has an individual and specific stake in the project, which can lead to miscommunications and even mistakes. With our design-build services, we provide a singular focus on bringing your dreams to life through quality craftsmanship and a dedication to excellence.

Faster Project Completion

One of the biggest factors regarding home renovations and construction is the amount of time it will take to complete them. Because a design-build company utilized streamlined communication all working together towards one goal, our projects can be completed in a shorter amount of time. Without a necessity for bid time, and a highly adaptive, responsive, and cost-effective process, design-build services can save valuable time and even money.

When you trust us with your home renovation design-build project, we customize each and every detail to your specific needs. Using the latest sophisticated technology like 3D rendering, models, and more, we provide you with input and present you with designs throughout every step of the project, so you can enjoy the freedom to make any changes or adjustments along the way.

Are you ready to give your home a facelift with our professional design-build services? Contact us today to get started! Call our residential remodeling contractors in Bucks County, PA at 215-953-8833 to schedule a consultation.

Munz Construction has done a number of large projects for us at our home over the past 18 yrs. They have always done a great job. Their workers are good and very courteous. We have always felt very comfortable with them in our house, especially Phil and Jason. Steve and Pete are easy to work with and are responsive to questions/issues. Bryan is very helpful when you need to make selections for your projects. The company stands behind their work and provides quality in a timely fashion, which can't be said for a lot of other companies these days. We would definitely recommend them!

Munz Construction did an amazing job with our basement remodel. The entire team was so pleasant to work with. Everyone that has come to our home since the remodel has been thoroughly impressed with the design. It really was a great experience to work with everyone at Munz. I’d like to also add that my husband tends to be an “overspender” and I am the complete opposite... so from the very start of our project , the design team made sure we were both comfortable with all of our selections. They always showed numerous options and price points for different things. So in the end, my husband and I were both so happy with everything. Thanks Munz, we’ll definitely use you again.

I did a major renovation of a 40 year old house. While touching virtually every room, the most significant changes included creating a new custom kitchen by combining the existing kitchen with a small dining room, creating a new master bedroom and converting a small bedroom into a large new master bathroom. I had contacted several well known home renovation companies who either did not seem to be interested in the large project or did not seem to offer the “full service” and support I needed. Steve and Bryan spent all the time I needed to make me comfortable making all the design decisions – not an easy task since I am design challenged! Any issues that came up, as would be expected in a project this size, were addressed. In addition, everyone made living in the house during construction as comfortable as possible. I would also like to say that the attention to detail and the finishing work done by their people was remarkable. The final results are fantastic! Needless to say I would use them again for any project and would highly recommend Munz Construction.

Chris and his crew were amazing! They added an addition that "touched" every room in the house. His workers were kind, courteous, and respectful AND they got the job done in a timely manner with WONDERFUL results. We love our new addition. We have the BEST house on the block!!!!

We were gutting and remodeling an old house that needed major work but that we didn’t want to tear down. Given the time and cost involved, we were very deliberate with our choice of contractor. We are very glad we chose Munz Construction as dealing with all of their employees was a pleasure from Day One (and the project took about a year so we had lots of contact). They always suggested ways to cut costs, had good suggestions to modify the blueprints to our advantage and never pushed unnecessary ideas. The design team was especially helpful as their three-dimensional computer models really gave us good insight into the final product and allowed us to make pre-construction tweaks of which we otherwise would not have thought. Munz was also very good about fixing things without complaint. As we approach one year in our new house, we are very happy and also receive lots of compliments on the design and preservation of the house.

We are very pleased with Munz Construction. We had the front of our house framed for new windows, new siding, stucco removal, new gutters, lighting etc. They helped with design ideas upfront and the house looks amazing. Erich and his team were very pleasant, professional and detail oriented. We would definitely use them again for any additional work in the future.

Everyone at Munz that we had the pleasure of working with were wonderful. From the beginning of our project, until the end everyone worked so hard. We had a new room, bathroom, and a beautiful porch put on our house. We are extremely happy. I would highly recommend this company.

Had great experience with Pete, our site manager, as well as Jason (construction), Jack (electrician ), Dave (painter), and all of the other subcontractors. Very clean, professional, pleasant. I found the initial process of general design less than ideal. Having little experience with this process, I didn't feel as informed as I could have been. I expected there may be options in layout and design, but that was not the case. In fact, the original design presented to us didn't really show a layout at all, merely a word document of what would be done. I was slightly taken aback when, e.g., there was no option for any kind of linen storage in the bathroom as the design completely removed a large closet that we had in order to make room for a stall shower. It was assumed we would want a whirlpool tub, and we weren't really asked about that option. These kinds of things made me a little uncomfortable with going forward. To us, it was a very expensive job, and yet I felt like it was not considered an important one when we sat with the designer. We felt much more comfortable when Pete met with us to go over the job expectations. There were very few glitches along the way, and Pete handled each of these very professionally. The work as completed is very good, and we are very happy with the end result.
