Design Build Has Many Advantages

 
When it comes to an additions building company, there are many advantages to hiring one that follows design-build principles. Very simply, design-build means that all the functions – from design to construction – are under one roof. There are great payoffs for the client.
 
The design-build delivery system can eliminate schedule delays and budget over-runs because everything is monitored in-house. The client also has greater access to all aspects of the project as it goes forward.
 
Because all elements are in-house, it also means that the builder has a sense of increased responsibility. Designer and contractors must be on the same page – because they are fellow employees and it is their company that bears the responsibility for all elements. No passing the buck! It also means that the client has one point of contact.
 
Budgeting should work better as well, as the various principles involved have access to the overall budget, throughout. Because there is a better flow of information and a central timeline, the process overall should be more efficient and cost-effective.
 

Adding a Four Car Garage

 
Garages are getting bigger. With adult children remaining at home longer, families often have more cars. Collectors often require extra space and almost every homeowner dreams of the extra storage a larger garage can bring. Garages can be freestanding structures or additions to homes, but, in either case, it is an important building project and should, as such, be designed with care.
 
A custom home builder is your best bet. Again, the design-build process ensures that you have an aesthetically pleasing and functional garage – built on time and on budget. Find the right location for that garage. One mistake in Canada is to position the garage too far back from the road – suddenly, shovelling and snow removal becomes a factor. If the garage is not physically attached to your home, how far do you want it to sit from your house?
 
Finally, what style is of interest? With a quick look through building sites on the internet, you will find garages in just about every architecture style, ranging from Colonial to Modern, Cape Cod to Victorian. What will complement your home?
 
And, finally – one tip: Consider skylights! Windows are great, but they take up valuable wall-storage areas.
 

Building an Addition to Your Home

 
The dilemma for many people who want more space, or whose requirements for their home have changed, is: do you move – or renovate? In many cases, moving is not an attractive option, especially when bonds have been forged in a neighbourhood or children have been involved. On the other hand, many city homes, especially bungalows of an older vintage style, are quite small and inefficient in their use of floor space.
 
A custom home builder can find ways to enhance the square footage of your home and create that bigger kitchen or ground floor washroom. Creativity is intrinsic to the design-build system, with architect and contractor working in sync, and that makes it possible to have the best of both worlds – your beloved home, with a great new addition containing the new amenities you need. A company that specializes in additions building is your best bet for this kind of addition or an extra structure such as a four-car garage.
