[quote=Anonymous]We did a smilar project. We did not use design build-- to0 much money!!! We used an architect to consult on removing the wall only (he helped design the right beam to put in the ceiling, but it is not visible). My recommendation is to design it yourself, shop for best prices on cabinets, fixtures, appliances, etc, and then hire a GC to demo and install. The GC subbed out the plumbing and electrical. The countertops were done by the stone company. You will save a ton of $$$$ by bypassing the totally overpriced design services. We spent $45k: removed wall/installed the beam; moved gas line and fridge (water line for ice). Did not move any windows or major walls. Every design-build place we talked to quoted us $75K+++. We found that once you tell them where you live, and what you want to do (if they hear "load bearing wall, moving appliances," etc), it's $75k+++[/quote]
