Design-Build Whole-Home Renovations

What Design-Build Renovation Involves

Design-build whole-home renovations integrate planning, design, permitting, and construction under a single coordinated process. This approach is commonly used when multiple systems, layouts, or structural elements are being modified and requires clear scope definition before construction begins.

Permitting, Planning, and Execution

Whole-home renovations typically require building permits and coordination with design professionals and licensed trades. Plans define structural changes, system upgrades, and construction sequencing, while inspections verify that work complies with approved documents and applicable building codes throughout the project.

General Contractor Responsibility

In a design-build renovation, the licensed general contractor is responsible for managing the project as a whole. This includes coordinating design intent, permitted scope, licensed subcontractors, inspections, and construction execution to ensure the renovation is completed safely, compliantly, and as approved.
