Our Design/Build Work Philosophy Budget & Schedule:  Braitman Design/Build has a strong record of on-time, on-budget performance.  Before the start of construction, we review with each client a detailed budget and schedule.  As the project progresses, each decision is discussed in terms of budget and schedule.  Regular meetings, phone calls, and emails ensure good communication.  The only surprise at the end of the project should be how beautiful and carefree the result. Design Communication:  It's nearly impossible to visualize the finished project by looking at constructions drawings.  Instead, Braitman Design/Build produces detailed 3-dimensional renderings and walk-throughs so that our clients can "see" and "feel" the finished project before we begin construction.  View example of a rendering.  Design Process:  One of the aspects of our process that distinguishes us from architects is that we work with our clients on flow and footprint through detailed renderings in a sequential process.  We review and reaffirm with our clients each step of the way.  We get approval on detailed renderings and initial budget before we start to work on detailed construction drawings.  We also secure an initial "construction feasibility and cost review" prior to spending time and money on construction documents.  Our process results in significantly less time and cost and much great client buy-in and review.  Construction:  Construction is dirty and disrupting.  But we make it as clean and seamless as we possibly can.  Before construction begins we work with clients to establish construction rules like starting time, stop time, who has access, and what bathroom or other facilities the workers can use.  We discuss security and privacy.  I personally make sure that all workers know the work rules and cleanliness rules.  I make sure that my crews keep a clean work site, protect uninvolved areas, clean up at the end of each day, and respect your belongings and privacy.  Of course, no smoking is allowed inside and any food trash is bussed off-site each day.  Where possible we stage work so that only limited portions of your house are in construction at any one time.  We can't eliminate all the noise, dirt or disruption from construction but we commit to limit it to the extent practical.  Read Articles About Selecting & Working With Contractors
