Design Build Contractor Services in San Diego

Design Build vs Hiring an Architect

There are two different approaches to Home Remodeling and Home Construction: hiring an architect or choosing a Design-Build company. At Murray Lampert, we offer Design/Build services in San Diego to complete your home remodeling project with the highest quality work at a reasonable price.

Hiring an architect and biding a project out to contractors may fit in some situations.  However, there are compelling reasons to consider Design-Build home remodeling:

1. Instead of taking the risk an architect will over design and over spec your project, Design - Build gives you the luxury of establishing a design and getting an accurate price for your project up front.
2. A reputable Design-Build contractor will work with you to design a remodel that meets your budgetary and functional needs.
3. There will be limited, if any, field issues because a Design-Build Contractor works with the engineer upfront to resolve any design, structural, or existing condition discrepancies in the building plans. Time is money.  With a design/build contractor, changes can be priced and implemented swiftly.

Murray Lampert Construction is your architectural design firm and home remodeler all under one roof. With our staff architect, design team and project managers, we are your one stop residential remodeling contractor.

Architectural plans, structural engineering, energy efficient design, permit processing, high quality construction, project management and excellent customer service is what you can expect with Murray Lampert Construction.

We have a state of the art computerized design system. Fully detailed color renderings and 3D walk throughs are available. See what your remodel will look like and cost up front, so there are no surprises.

Many companies claim they are design/build and outsource the drafting, losing control of design quality and costs. Our service includes planning, design, specifying materials/finishes and construction management.

At Murray Lampert Construction, we believe in educating homeowners on the process of remodeling and standing by our clients through the entire process. We will provide a shopping list and line you up with our preferred vendors to save you money fixtures, appliances, flooring etc. Everything is spelled out in our scope of work with realistic costs. We are with you every step of the way to make sure your project finishes on time and stays on budget.

In summary, it is usually in your best interest to choose the Design-Build method for most home remodeling projects because the contractor has the ability to handle the field changes that are inherent with any project.
