The Advantages of Design / Build contracting
![Page 6: Kitchen & Bath Remodel Specialists · Kitchen & Bath Remodel Specialists Established 1988 Showroom in Downtown Kennewick ... Kitchen retainers are $1500 to $3000 an are applied to](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022041100/5ed68734ff0e593c0b640353/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
What is a Design Retainer?▪ An upfront deposit made to the company to secure the designers
professional services.
▪ Kitchen retainers are $1500 to $3000 an are applied to the cost of
your project.
▪ The designer becomes your guide & advocate.
▪ If you decide not to proceed with the project, the retainer covers a
portion of our time, and you gain the benefit of the designs,
education, and get to keep all of the drawings, estimates,
specifications, etc.

Without a Retainer▪ No commitment required from you▪ Designer must limit time spent on your project.▪ Designer must design to sell a specific product to
get paid.▪ Designers are guarded about sharing drawings and
giving away their best ideas.▪ Designers may intentionally minimize the real costs
in order to sell their products.▪ Designers often do not deal with all aspects of a
project, making final numbers hard to pin down.

With a Retainer
▪ Represents a serious commitment by you.
▪ Allows the designer to devote serious time, energy, & creativity to your project.
▪ Designer does not have to design to sell a specific product.
▪ Allows for a open, candid atmosphere regarding the real costs of the project.
▪ Retainer is applied to the cost of the work.

• What type of materials do I think I want?
• Will we be doing any of the labor ourselves?
• What level of quality do I want?
• What other areas do I want to include?
• Use a spreadsheet for the scoping document, it allows for easy editing and adding costs.
• Based on the above, what is the likely price range for the project?

Step 3 – Design the Physical Layout
![Page 24: Kitchen & Bath Remodel Specialists · Kitchen & Bath Remodel Specialists Established 1988 Showroom in Downtown Kennewick ... Kitchen retainers are $1500 to $3000 an are applied to](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022041100/5ed68734ff0e593c0b640353/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
▪ Drawn to ½" scale
• Major centers are all large elements
• Angles often help with placement in difficult spaces
• Play “What If” with different layouts
• Combine the best features into the final floor plan
Start with Concept Drawings
Step 3 – Design the Physical Layout
![Page 25: Kitchen & Bath Remodel Specialists · Kitchen & Bath Remodel Specialists Established 1988 Showroom in Downtown Kennewick ... Kitchen retainers are $1500 to $3000 an are applied to](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022041100/5ed68734ff0e593c0b640353/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
▪ Consider removing walls to open up the space
▪ Avoid restricting yourself to the existing layout
▪ Start with a blank slate and your wish list
▪ Avoid designing to restrain costs at this point
▪ Relocating major fixtures often yields the most
dramatic results
Start with Concept Drawings
Step 3 – Design the Physical Layout
![Page 26: Kitchen & Bath Remodel Specialists · Kitchen & Bath Remodel Specialists Established 1988 Showroom in Downtown Kennewick ... Kitchen retainers are $1500 to $3000 an are applied to](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022041100/5ed68734ff0e593c0b640353/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Finalize the Floor Plan
▪ Final floor plan is a merger of the best features from the concepts.
▪ Add dimensions & details
▪ Draw at ½” scale
Step 3 – Design the Physical Layout
![Page 29: Kitchen & Bath Remodel Specialists · Kitchen & Bath Remodel Specialists Established 1988 Showroom in Downtown Kennewick ... Kitchen retainers are $1500 to $3000 an are applied to](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022041100/5ed68734ff0e593c0b640353/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

Step 4 – Foundation-Setting Selections
• Bath Tub - $1,000 - $10,000
• Shower - $3,000 - $20,000
• Cabinets - $500 - $5,000
• Countertops - $500 - $5,000
• Flooring - $500 - $5,000
• Appliances - $3,000 - $20,000
• Cabinets - $5,000 - $25,000
• Countertops - $1,500 - $15,000

Bathrooms Kitchens

Selections that have the biggest impact on both design and cost
Step 4 – Foundation-Setting Selections
• Layout changes and foundation-setting selections drive the overall cost of a
project.
• If significant cost reductions must be made, look at the foundation-setting
selections first and the layout changes second.
• Vision-completing selections have a much smaller impact on the costs.
• Layout changes that involve moving walls, doors, or windows, and / or
relocation of plumbing fixtures will have a significant impact the costs of a
project, but usually generate the most impactful improvements.
• Apply the "form follows function" rule, which weights pragmatism ahead
of style.
![Page 31: Kitchen & Bath Remodel Specialists · Kitchen & Bath Remodel Specialists Established 1988 Showroom in Downtown Kennewick ... Kitchen retainers are $1500 to $3000 an are applied to](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022041100/5ed68734ff0e593c0b640353/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Step 5 – Build an accurate cost estimate.
• Edit the scoping spreadsheet to match the design & foundation-setting selections.
• Add in allowances for vision-completing selection items.
• Think through and list out the steps, task by task.
• Add in vendor contact information and cost estimates.
• Verify what is included in each vendor estimate.
• Assign tasks to yourself and include the material costs.
• When in doubt, round up, not down.
• If you do not like the final number, revisit the foundation-setting selections.
• Vision-completing selections are made after the estimate is completed and acceptable.
• Variables will now be in the range of hundreds, not thousands of dollars.
![Page 32: Kitchen & Bath Remodel Specialists · Kitchen & Bath Remodel Specialists Established 1988 Showroom in Downtown Kennewick ... Kitchen retainers are $1500 to $3000 an are applied to](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022041100/5ed68734ff0e593c0b640353/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Scope Creep
• Project expansion beyond the original parameters
• Often makes good sense
• Should occur during planning phase
• Skews the budget
• Sometimes warrants financing
• Increases project satisfaction
• Allows for a “One & Done” project
Step 5 – Build an accurate cost estimate.
![Page 33: Kitchen & Bath Remodel Specialists · Kitchen & Bath Remodel Specialists Established 1988 Showroom in Downtown Kennewick ... Kitchen retainers are $1500 to $3000 an are applied to](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022041100/5ed68734ff0e593c0b640353/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Don’t Be Afraid of Financing
• Project costs often exceed original expectations. This is not necessarily bad.
• Consider taking out a loan for the portion you don’t have the cash for:
• Get what you really want
• Finish the project all at once (it’s now or never)
• Often results in consolidation cost savings that more than cover the cost of the financing.
• The regret of not getting what you wanted lingers long after the money is forgotten.
Step 5 – Build an accurate cost estimate.
![Page 34: Kitchen & Bath Remodel Specialists · Kitchen & Bath Remodel Specialists Established 1988 Showroom in Downtown Kennewick ... Kitchen retainers are $1500 to $3000 an are applied to](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022041100/5ed68734ff0e593c0b640353/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Allowances▪ Allows a contractor to give you a
price without knowing exactly what you want.
▪ Allows a contractor to tell you what you want to hear: low-ball estimates.
▪ Allows a contractor to add-in items he left out of the original quote.
▪ Allowances are usually vague.▪ Customer has no way of knowing
if allowance covers the products they actually want.
▪ Allowances almost always lead to change orders & extras.
Step 5 – Build an accurate cost estimate.

Step 6 – Vision-completing selections
▪ Individually, vision-completing selections have a smaller impact on
the overall cost of a project.
▪ The impacts of vision-completing selections are usually measured
in hundreds of dollars, rather than thousands.
▪ Because there are a lot of vision-completing selections, together,
they do add up, and can have a significant impact on the cost of
the project.
▪ If significant cost reductions must be made, look foundation-
setting selections first and the layout changes second.
