[quote=Anonymous]We talked to Landis and Case about a remodel/addition. Landis was more expensive than Case fwiw. We wound up using an architect / bid to contractors. It was less than a design-build firm but we wound up doing more so the price probably came out the same. One thing to consider: with design-build, you'll get much more hand-holding around the aesthetics and finishes. If you go with an architect/contractor model, you'll either have to hire for that (an interior designer and/or additional consultations with the architect) or you'll have to invest your own time and energy around that. I love all this stuff, in my alternative life I would have been an interior designer, but I found the sheer volume of decisions and choices totally overwhelming. I did it and I'm happy with the outcome but I can totally see the appeal of design-build for making some of that easier.[/quote]
