Who Are the Design Build Planners?

As New Jersey designers, we work with some of the best remodeling contractors in New Jersey and throughout the United States to help you turn your dream home into reality. Whether you are looking to remodel your kitchen, bathroom, basement, or expand your home with an addition, our unique Design-Build process will help you save time and money while giving you a remodeling experience you never thought you could have.

Design Build Planners realizes that renovating your home is something that you may only do once or twice in your entire life. Therefore, it’s understandable that there is a learning curve when it comes to researching and hiring contractors, evaluating remodeling estimates and comparing different prices, and ultimately working with your chosen general contractor or remodeler to successfully complete your project.

Since we live and breathe home remodeling on a daily basis, we consider it our responsibility to guide you through the home improvement process to make your next renovation a pleasant experience. Design Build Planners are not New Jersey remodeling contractors or residential architects in NJ. We are design build professionals who work for you, the homeowner, to design your room or home, and then help you find the best local remodeling contractor  and New Jersey interior design firms for your particular project.

Home Remodeling in New Jersey and Beyond

The Design Build Planners approach to remodeling is Visual, Logical, Systematic, and Pleasant. We work closely with homeowners throughout the five stages of remodeling, and offer a variety of services at each stage:

• Discovery
• Project Planning
• Pre-Production
• Project Building
• Post-Production Follow Up

We realize that there are many excellent NJ remodeling contractors who excel at building your remodeling project, but who may not have the resources to dedicate to educating homeowners and providing a complete design service that aligns with your budget.

Design Build Planners vs NJ Architects

The first step in our home remodeling process is meeting with the homeowner to ask and answer many common questions:

• What will my remodeling project cost?
• How do I pay for or finance my home renovation?
• What type of remodeling contractor should I hire?
• Should I hire a NJ architect first or go with a design build firm in New Jersey or in my state?
• Is it better to hire a general contractor or try to manage the project myself, or even do all of the work myself?
• How do I evaluate different estimates when I don’t know the cost of remodeling projects?
• Who are the best remodeling contractors in my area?
• How do I make sure that the process goes smoothly, that the contractors show up when they say they are, and complete my project on time and on budget?

We want you to be comfortable with the home remodeling process because it can be a lot of fun! Spending the time up front to do your homework and find answers to these pressing questions can make the entire home renovation exciting and relaxing.

New Jersey Designer and NJ House Plans for Home Remodeling

The next step in our home remodeling service, and the step that truly separates Design Build Planners from any other remodeling company in New Jersey or the United States for that matter, is our unique design service that enables you to see your project before you build it.

Based on your realistic budget and the money you have available for your project, we will design up to 3 full color 3D renderings of your proposed project. We complete this with our in-house team of remodeling designers using Computer Aided Design (CAD). We will usually design three projects at different price points: Modest, Robust, and Wow. From there, you are able to pick one of them or mix and match elements from each of the designs to truly build the kitchen, bathroom, or basement of your dreams on the computer before you even hire a remodeling contractor or research architects in NJ.

If you are not familiar with what different types of home remodeling projects cost, we have developed a guide for you that outlines the costs of remodeling projects in New Jersey and throughout the Northeast United States. We still recommend you schedule a 15-minute phone consultation with us, but this pricing guide should at least get you started in the right direction.

A Sample of our US and NJ Remodeling Services

Kitchen Remodeling

Whether you are looking to simply refinish your cabinets and upgrade your counter tops or completely remodel and upgrade your kitchen, we will help you make the heart of your home the perfect place for gathering, dining, and entertaining. We truly enjoy custom kitchen designs, designing and building kitchen islands, breakfast nooks, and even outdoor kitchens and entertainment areas.  For home kitchen design in NJ, we believe Design Build Planners is truly your most sensible option.

Bathroom Remodeling

Remodeling your bathroom, whether it’s your master suite or a simple powder room, is one of the best ways to add value to your home. When you think about it, the bathroom is one of the most functional areas of your house and one in which you may even spend the most time. A simple bathroom remodel may include the addition of recessed lighting and new tiles, while a full bathroom remodeling project or new spa bathroom would include a new tub or shower, updated bathroom fixtures, and custom surfaces such as countertops, floor tiles, and shower tiles. There are bathroom NJ remodeling designs and remodeling prices for every budget.

Basement Remodeling

Basements can be one of the most exciting areas of the house to renovate. Usually there is a lot of space to work with and we can really help you get creative in creating a nice relaxing room or even several different rooms. We love designing and building man caves, wet bars, home theaters, game rooms, exercise rooms and home gyms, wine tasting rooms and cellars, and even basement bedrooms. There are several additional factors that are important in a basement renovation project, such as mold and moisture, so we always recommend going with a top remodeling contractor in New Jersey or in your state.

NJ Home Additions and Design

Since real estate is not as predictable as it once was, many of our clients are choosing to remain in their homes and add on to their existing structure. NJ home additions can include: add-a-levels, master suites, garage conversions, in-law suites, great rooms and lifestyle rooms, sunrooms, mud rooms, and much more. If you feel you have outgrown your current space but don’t want to move, a new house addition may be perfect for you.

Custom Decks and Outdoor Living Spaces

When people think of home remodeling, they usually think of the indoors. But outdoor living and entertainment areas have become extremely popular in recent years. We specialize in: outdoor kitchens, fireplaces and fire pits, enclosed patios, sunrooms, pool houses, cabanas, and more. If you’re looking to make your outdoor area a true three-season gathering place, contact us to get some design and cost ideas.

Custom New Home Construction and NJ Design Build Plans

The Design Build Planners have the capability to design and develop an entire new home for you and your family. We work closely with several New Jersey custom home builders and architects in NJ and apply our same home remodeling process to new house construction. Before you spend your life savings on a new home, wouldn’t it be nice to see it in 3D Color Design from a top NJ designer before you write that big check?  Once you settle on a design that you love, we work with you to source the best possible architect to product your set of NJ house plans.  Once your home plans are in place, you’re ready to find the perfect remodeler to make the vision for your new dream home or remodeling project come to life.
