Design Build Services

 
Clarum Homes » Services » Design Build Services

A unified team from concept to completion

When you hire Clarum Homes for our design-build services, this means that we handle your entire project  – this includes planning, design, construction plans, budgeting, and construction. The key benefits of this approach is that everyone who is involved are all working together under one roof – from the concept stage to the final phases of building your home.

This approach results in a more efficient project plan, better quality control, more accurate and budget-driven estimates, and tighter project schedules. Plus, changes to your home can be implemented more efficiently which means it saves time and costs.

What are the key benefits of using Clarum Homes’ design-build services?

From the first meeting with you to the last drop of paint, we effectively manage all components of your process while staying in ongoing communication with you. Our design-build services are well suited for people who want a “soup to nuts” approach.

Key benefits include:

  • Accountability & quality control: Because we manage your entire project, you have a single point of contact who is accountable to you. Our team is working together cooperatively from the first meeting with you. This eliminates communication failures and conflicts of interest.
  • Proven, established processes: Unplanned changes and unforeseen conditions can be a project coordination nightmare when multiple parties are involved, leading to mistakes, higher costs, and extended time lines. A well-planned project using our streamlined internal processes for addressing change allows efficient change orders and tight cost control.
  • Speed, efficiency, and cost control: By working together as a single entity, we are able to create more detailed and accurate budgets and construction plans. This means we save you time, money, and stress. We carefully manage your project so that we can deliver it as promised.
  • Green building technology: Clarum Homes specializes in high-performance homes and sustainable building practices. Technology and building science is rapidly changing – as leaders in this field, we stay on the cutting edge of sustainable building practices to bring you the best products, practices, and suppliers.
