Design Build Process
Phase 1: Feasibility Study
This is where we lay the groundwork for a successful Design Build remodel.
Phase 2: Design Development
This phase is where the home design comes alive.
Phase 3: Construction Build
During construction, the Build team executes on the design with precision.
Design Process
HDR Remodeling specializes in custom designs of historic homes throughout the Bay Area that match your aesthetics and lifestyle while staying true to the home’s character. We are experts in technically challenging remodels that require unique solutions and our Architects, Designers, and Builders work hand in hand during design to ensure feasibility.
Phase 1: Feasibility Study
The feasibility study is a crucial step that evaluates practicality and sets the stage for success. It begins with a visit to your home, where we gather measurements, take photos, and note any specific considerations to define the parameters of your home remodel.
We then present you with conceptual drawings, a detailed floor plan, and a comprehensive scope of work to allow you to make informed decisions, ensuring that the project is realistic, achievable, and aligns with your goals and budget. With these insights, we can confidently proceed into design development.
Phase 2: Design Development
You’ll collaborate closely with your Architect and Designer as we refine the initial concept, blending aesthetic, functionality, sustainability, and constructability into detailed renderings that bring your remodel to life.
Aesthetic - We’ll introduce material selections that reflect your personal style and enhances the character of your home.
Functionality - We’ll iron out the floor plan to create the optimal flow to ensure it’s comfortable and convenient for your lifestyle.
Sustainability - We’ll introduce selections that prioritize energy efficiency and green building, using resources efficiently to minimize environmental impact.
Constructability - We’ll manage the design against budget and timeline, working with our Build team to ensure a smooth transition into construction and seamless execution. As a full-service firm, we’ll handle all aspects of the permitting process and materials procurement.
Build Process
The key advantage of partnering with a Design Build team lies in the seamless transition from design to construction.
Our commitment to your vision extends well beyond the design phase. As construction begins, your Project Manager will be on-site during critical milestones, guiding you through each detail. Our tradesmen, experts in their craft, deliver high-quality workmanship, ensuring that every aspect of your remodel is executed to the highest standards. We are dedicated to providing a meticulously managed construction process, with clear and consistent communication at every stage, ensuring that your remodel meets not only your highest expectations but also the high standards of HDR Remodeling.
