Venturing into a home remodel can be both exhilarating and daunting. Clarity, trust, and mutual understanding are pillars of a smooth-sailing remodeling journey. At COOPER Design Build, we value transparency and are passionate about making your dream home a reality. That's why we're here to address some of your most pressing questions. We’ve gathered input from every corner of our expert team to provide you with comprehensive insight into many of the questions we’re asked most often.
Why should I choose a design-build company?
Embarking on a home remodeling journey with a design-builder is like having a trusted tour guide through both the dreaming and the doing. Our Design-Build model brings harmony to the often complex world of home remodeling.
WHAT ARE THE Benefits of Design Build?
The beauty of design-build lies in its streamlined process. With everything under one umbrella, there's enhanced accountability, efficiency, and a more cohesive vision. Plus, with potential cost and time savings, it’s a win-win for homeowners.
- Seamless transition from design to construction: Imagine smoothly transitioning from brainstorming design ideas to watching those concepts become tangible structures. That’s the beauty of the Design-Build process.
- Reduced estimation cost fluctuations and miscommunication: By merging design and construction under one roof, we diminish the room for estimation errors, keeping your project within the envisioned budget.
- The designer is part of the construction team: The information and preferences discussed with your designer don’t get lost in translation—they're an integral part of the entire project's DNA.
- Efficient design changes and accommodations: Once the walls and floors are opened up and the team can see where pipes, electrical, beams, etc. are placed, there will need to be updates made to the design plan. In the event of these unexpected pivots during construction, your designer can be on site quickly to assess and alter the plans so the final vision is preserved. This keeps your project moving on schedule and without you having to communicate with multiple companies.
- Accountability from design through construction: We stand by our commitment from the very first sketch to the final brush stroke. This cohesion ensures that your vision is realized just as you dreamed it. Our designers are accountable to our construction team so they create plans that they know can be executed beautifully.
- The inherent aim for client satisfaction: At COOPER, we're not just about building homes; we’re about building lasting relationships. Every decision, every step, is taken with your satisfaction at the forefront.
- Cost consolidation: By integrating design and construction, we can identify potential cost-saving opportunities early on, avoid redundant steps, and streamline the process. It's not about cutting costs; it's about maximizing value for our clients.
How do I receive updates on my remodeling project?

- Regular updates: Our weekly meetings offer a deep dive into the work done, what's on the horizon for the coming week, and a transparent look at the budget and timeline. It’s our way of making sure you’re always in the loop and completely satisfied with the direction of the project.
