EVERYONE LOVES A BEAUTIFUL DESIGN, BUT A QUALITY BUILD LASTS FOREVER Thanks to HGTV, we are often drawn to the flashy, fun, and creative side of the design-build process. 30D renderings and countless options for materials leave us in awe as our favorite TV hosts show off their imagination and ingenuity time and again. Oftentimes the implementation of a design is given to what seem to be supporting characters. Tradespeople come and go, with a few close-ups of their work, and interactions with them limited to any issues that arise on the construction site. What you can't see on TV Is what happens after the family moves into the home and starts using the space. Were their cabinets anchored appropriately into the walls? Were their countertops made perfectly level, and their electrical outlets given the appropriate amount of space around the kitchen? Was the lip between their master bathroom's tile floor and their bedroom's carpeting given a seamless transition? Did they feel comfortable with their children opening and closing their cabinet doors, or going up and down their new hardwood stairs? Furthermore, safety is of utmost importance as a design is brought to life. A craftsman crew that does not follow the appropriate processes and laws during the build-out process is putting a family's safety at risk As much as your favorite home shows portray design as the lion's share of the design-build process, a great design is nothing without a quality build. The "Build" in design-build is what has to stand up to your day-to-day use of your space. The "Build" is what holds your dishes safely in your kitchen cabinetry, keeps your plumbing fixtures in working order, and your shower door from busting a leak onto your beautiful new tile floor. It's what keeps your grandchildren safe as they run a little too close to the corner your kitchen counter, or you safe as you climb into and out of your soaking tub. A great build is one you can live in... not live around. We often hear that a great marriage is not 50/50, but instead 100/100! So goes the design-build world. A gorgeous, functional, and personalized design cannot come to life without a high-quality, expertly-installed build... ust as that longstanding build-out could not come to fruition without a creative design.
