Work with a Designer

As you search for the right company to work on your remodeling project, you find there are a lot of contractors out there who are not designers. However, they may have access to design resources. If you plan to remodel your kitchen or bathroom, it is essential to accurately design the space. Ask your contractor to show you detailed plans and designs for projects they have completed. Projects beyond the design abilities of your contractor can result in numerous delays, cost overruns, and frustration on your part. If your contractor is not a designer, keep in mind your project may be more complex than he can handle. In that case, you may have to hire an architect, interior designer, or a kitchen and bath designer. This can add to the contractor’s price quote, sometimes thousands in unforeseen costs. That’s why you want to work with a design-build company.

Working with Cabex

The Cabex Construction team is not only a contractor (just voted #1 in Sarasota by SRQ Magazine!) but great designers. We believe a successful project must start with a complete design of the space to ensure that it meets your goals. Once you decide the main design elements, we develop a Personal Cost Proposal for your project. This provides several benefits:

  • You can see how the entire project ties together and how all of the design elements work together to create your unique space.
  • Since we choose every piece of material and we understand how it will be installed, we price the project down to the penny. This allows you to determine exactly how much the project will cost. It gives you the ability and control to make trade-offs to meet your budget.
  • We order all the materials ahead of time. This saves us and you money. Also, it allows us to complete the project in the schedule we promise.

After the Design Phase

Following the design phase, we prepare three copies of a very detailed set of plans and installation instructions. The homeowner gets a copy, the Project Manager, and a copy is retained in the office. This insures that any questions that arise can be answered promptly. If this sounds like process you’re looking for to help your project run as smoothly as possible, book a free design session with us.
