What is a Design and Build Company?

Paul DeFeis, senior managing partner at Trade Mark Design & Build based in Hawthorne, New Jersey, has 15 years of experience in residential design. Here he discusses why he believes the services of a design and build company are much more far-reaching – and give far better value for money – than the services other types of contractors offer customers…

Many people don’t know where to turn when they are contemplating remodeling their home. With literally hundreds of contractors out there offering a myriad of services, it can be incredibly difficult – and frustrating - to choose the right person or the right firm for the job.

That’s why it’s important to make an informed decision based on your specific needs. If you are looking around for the right choice for you, a design and build company can provide you with a complete range of services, from the beginning of your project to the end.

That’s exactly what we are – a design and build company which saves our clients time and money by providing all the services they’ll need to complete their project - kind of like one-stop shopping with everything you need under one roof. Here are just some of the services we provide:

• Architectural and planning services
• Complimentary full budget analysis
• A range of 3-D conceptual drawings to help visualize the new space
• Complete product selection assistance – tile, appliances, etc
• Complete project management. When the homeowner is no longer the General Contractor it means you get higher quality end result for less time and money
• Dedicated project manager to see through the entire job
• Full help obtaining all necessary permits
• Product installation and after-service by professionals who are both licensed and insured
• All carpentry jobs as well as and including custom cabinetry, countertops, cabinet installation, and much more all completely tailored to fit your project
