The decision to remodel, renovate or build a new home is a very emotional one. Aside from the financial commitment, the search for quality help in the process can be very stressful. Ultimately, the goal for most people is value. That's where the design build process leaps ahead of the traditional building system. In the traditional building system the property owner will seek the assistance of an architect or designer to help create a project and are then forced into seeking out a contractor to build it. This automatically creates an adversarial relationship between the architect and the contractor. The architect/designer's interest is to give the consumer the best design possible regardless of the cost while the contractor's interest is to build it the cheapest way possible without regard to the vision- often with property owner stuck in the middle paying for their differences. At EPIC design build Inc., design and construction are unified, creating a balance between protecting the home owner's dream as well as their budget. At EPIC a team is created including the architect, the contractor, and the consumer. This team then has the power to decide what to build, how to build it, and very importantly- what it will cost
