What are your remodeling expectations?

This is an important question. Certain things, like craftsmanship and punctuality, are standard, but other elements of the process require some guidance. Setting expectations early in the project is a key component of Building Trust. At Daniel Builders, our Design team is here to help!


In this episode of Ready, Set, Renovate, you'll meet Brandon Hurtado, Design Project Manager. He has helped many Daniel Builders clients plan a successful remodel.


If you're wondering:

  • how to determine if you need an interior designer or architect

  • what decisions make the biggest impact on your budget

  • what deliverables you'll receive after signing a Design contract

  • how we clarify expectations to set your project up for success


Brandon's got it covered. He shares what the Design process looks like from scope to schemes to selections. If you're new to remodeling, here's how we define these components of Design.


  • Scope - a comprehensive overview, or road map, of your project outlining the expectations for build

  • Schemes - floor plans provided by our architecture team depicting various solutions for your space

  • Selections - details that define the Design of your project, including fixtures, tile, flooring, paint, etc.


Tune into this episode to see why our clients love the Daniel Builders Design team!
