The Design Build Process

What’s the biggest advantage in selecting a design-build firm? Improved communication. When you work with a design-build firm like Murray Lampert, you will enjoy a single point of contact for everything from architectural and design aspects to the engineering and construction work. You’ll avoid the stressful role of being the middleman between the architect, the contractor, and the sub-contractors.We’ll deliver a smoother project, better communication, reduced timeline, and more bang for your budget.

The entire design-build process is a conversation about what your needs are and how we can make that happen.

Why Design-Build?

Design-Build Remodeling vs. Traditional Home Remodeling

Single Point Of Contact For The Customer

In the traditional, architect-driven approach, customers invariably have to deal with multiple contractors, depending on the type and scope of the project. Moreover, employing several contractors entails having several contracts, which is both time-consuming and costly.

By contrast, design-build involves a dedicated project manager who is in charge of coordinating all aspects of the project and communicating with the customer.

Experienced project managers at Murray Lampert will take care of your remodel from start to finish. You will receive regular progress updates and timely answers to all your questions regarding any aspect of the project, from design to construction.

Controlled Cost-Estimation, No Under-Budgeting

At Murray Lampert, we begin each and every project with a detailed budget and design plan. By having a single contract covering all the design-build services, we can present our customers with a comprehensive and fully transparent cost estimation up front.

We boast an award-winning San Diego design-build team, so you can be sure we will account for all project expenses and troubleshoot any issues quickly and efficiently.

Rest assured there will be no hidden costs, as we will provide you with a detailed payment plan including all the individual services before any work begins on your home.

Timely Completion Of Each Project Phase

One of the biggest advantages of design-build is time-efficiency. There is no time lag since different stages of a single project can be executed simultaneously while being carefully coordinated and monitored. Homeowners are delighted to realize the design time is shortened, after which there is no need to hire a different contractor to carry out the rest of your project.

Our seasoned designers value your time as much as they value your needs and ideas. Because we determine a timeframe at the beginning of each project, our designers are generally able to shorten the timeframe necessary for the project to reach the permit stage.

Accountability And Consistency Throughout The Project

As San Diego’s leading design-build remodeling contractor, Murray Lampert remains fully accountable for the entirety of your home renovation project. All members of our team are accountable to each other, and in turn, to you.

We are especially proud of the close professional relationships our staff maintains. Their work is complementary as they strive to achieve each other’s visions. Designers make sure their renditions are achievable by the builders, while builders follow the designer’s vision closely so as to ensure it is accurately achieved.

With a well-organized and coherent team of professionals at Murray Lampert, you can be sure there is no conflict of interest – there is no finger pointing or miscommunication, as our team shares the same professional goals and values.
