together each step of the way as your home is transformed. We strive to become your "contractor for life" with outstanding service and impeccable construction.

Most homeowners are familiar with the approach to remodeling of hiring an architect to design and draw plans and then obtaining bids from several contractors. With the Design + Build process, you work hand-in-hand with one company from start to finish, design through construction. We believe you will find the Design + Build process has many advantages and benefits for you.

When homeowners ask Harrell Remodeling to assist them with their remodeling needs, there are two aspects of the project design to coordinate: design elements and budget.

Functional and Aesthetic Design Elements
Perhaps your home is a couple of decades behind in meeting your needs. The space may not flow well or provide for how your family lives. Taste in design and finishes (colors and materials) evolves over time. Working as a team, we encourage you to discover and articulate your taste and express it through "finish" decisions. There are many decisions to make when selecting colors and materials, and we offer our design expertise to assist you in choosing timeless elements. Part of the thrill of living in architecture you have designed is having colors and materials which provide you joy, comfort and reflect your style for years to come. We believe that good space planning and informed, timeless design choices enhance your investment and provide for function and appearance now in the future.

Altering the Architecture of Construction Budget
Altering the architecture of a home is a big investment in time and money.Often homeowners want to establish what their project will cost before they are certain of the changes they want for their homes. Stated desires like "replace my kitchen" or "update my bathroom" do not provide us enough rough information to determine a remodeling budget. Additional square footage may or may not solve your design dilemma, and each home has its own structural and site challenges that require resolution during the planning stage of design. As builders and designers in one company, Harrell Remodeling considers the structural, financial, and design elements simultaneously. The value of various aspects of the design has to be determined by the homeowner and HRI -- your designer and builder -- as the design develops.

Choosing from your wish list and working within your budget are often the most challenging parts of design development. We provide guidance and, if needed, we can assist you with modifying the project into various phases of remodeling, or reduce the scope of work to align your remodeling needs and desires with your budget.

Buildable Design
Working within your budget, the on-staff designer or architect at Harrell Remodeling consults with the production department, who will build the project, to create a realistic and buildable design. You can rest assured that your design has been carefully estimated, or that a budget allowance has been made if you have not yet selected your finish materials. Owner-provided items are indicated in the contract.

Accuracy
Each designer/architect and general contractor is unique in their approach to remodeling. Even though the old approach suggests a homeowner solicit three bids from different contractors, each contractor approaches remodeling and the bidding process differently. Therefore the three bids you receive may be like comparing apples to oranges, depending on what each contractor chooses to include in his or her estimate.

Better Communication - No finger pointing!
At Harrell Remodeling, the designer or architect works closely with the production crew on project after project, which ensures that there is mutual understanding and communication of your design ideas. You save time throughout the remodel, because you make just one phone call to one company to communicate any changes, updates or problems. You communicate your ideas to the company and they are shared with everyone who needs to know. This ensures that your project will be built as you and your designer envision.

Better Project Management
The key to every successful remodel project is management. At Harrell Remodeling, the production crew has direct access to the on-staff designer or architect, and is able to get clarification quickly.
