Gilmans Kitchens and Baths offers clients one stop shopping. By combining professional services; design and construction management, the process of remodeling is realized in a cost-effective seamless manner from one accountable source. GKandB offers many advantages over the traditional architect/multiple bid process. The process begins with the end in mind. The relationship that can sometimes exist between design professionals and contractors in a traditional project delivery system is replaced by teamwork. The client has one contract for both design and construction, rather than the traditional method of separate contracts with an architect, engineer, general contractor, interior designer, landscape designer, etc. All team members are involved early on in the process and can provide valuable input on design, construction methods, estimating, scheduling and costs. Most beneficial to the client is the single point of contact and responsibility. By streamlining the design + build flow, many disputes, finger pointing and delays can be eliminated. |
