Expert Guides for Homeowners Written by Patrick A. Finn

Design Build isn’t just a process, it’s a philosophy and new way of thinking about home remodeling. Traditionally, homeowners would have to manage everything themselves:

• Setting and sticking to budgets and schedules
• Hiring and coordinating the work of architects and contractors
• Choosing paints, appliances, and fixtures
• Solving problems and simply hoping for a successful project

This old model just doesn’t work. With our Design Build process, our team handles everything from start to finish. Our experienced project manager leads the process from initial consultation until the project is complete. We handle everything.

Patrick A. Finn has written a guide to help you understand his proven Design Build process, a guide to understand costs for remodeling in Chicago's Northwest suburbs, and a checklist you can use when evaluating Design Build contractors.
