[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had CASE come out to do a small house project and it wasn't a good experience. They charged a TON of money and then didn't even finish it in the time they estimated. I did not ask them to come back and hired a handyman to finish it for less than what CASE charged for their partial work. [/quote]

I wouldn't use a design build firm of any sort for a small project that a general contractor could handle. They are more expensive and one of the reason's is the size and expertise of their staff. Our project was large and complicated - we needed someone that was there to manage the entire project because everything ties together - We were willing to pay extra for this experience. All of our other smaller projects we ordered  and managed the job - selecting plumbers, electricians ourselves,  researching and ordering all the supplies - they we had the contractors do the actual work. Its very time consuming to be so personally involved in the project but a cheaper way to get things done. Our neighbors hired a different design build firm after a tree damaged their house. They were unhappy with the level of professionalism and the "surprises", lack of communication that kept coming up. That firm was the lower bid, as they observe our project they wish they had gone with CASE. [/quote]
