Design-Build Remodeling and New Home Construction - Seattle, WA

Crafting Stunning New Homes with a simplified building process.

At Northlight Custom Builders, Design-Build remodeling and home construction have been a cornerstone of our business since the beginning. Design-Build is a single-source approach to home building that streamlines the process. Design-Build remodeling combines design work with construction services under one company. Design–Build projects are managed by a single pre-construction coordinator here at Northlight who coordinates all aspects of the project including design, engineering, permitting, and scheduling.

The Design-Build system offers several advantages

The Design-Build system offers several advantages:

1
Collaborative Design

Designers and contractors work together from the start on Design-Build projects, ensuring that the design is coordinated with construction methods and materials for maximum efficiency. This in turn allows for better collaboration between the client, designer and contractor, resulting in improved customer satisfaction.

2
Reduced Risk

Design–Build reduces risk by having one contract with a single point of responsibility instead of multiple contracts with each profession negotiating separate contracts for their services. Design-Build can help minimize change orders because all parties are working together to ensure the project is completed as efficiently as possible.

3
Cost Savings

Design-Build streamlines the process which can lead to a more efficient use of time and resources.
