Best Fit for Atlanta Homeowners Planning a Real Remodel



Most Remodels Get Expensive Before Construction Even Starts

Projects usually do not go wrong because one contractor made one mistake. They go wrong because layout, scope, and decisions were still unclear when pricing began. That is when bids vary, missing work gets buried in allowances, and changes during construction become expensive.


Why homeowners start with Delano.

• Scope is defined before contractor pricing begins

• Layout issues are solved before they become jobsite problems

• Finish direction is aligned to a realistic budget

• Permit-ready drawings can be created when the project requires them

Best Fit for Atlanta Homeowners Planning a Real Remodel

• Kitchen, bathroom, basement, addition, or exterior remodels

• Want clarity before hiring a contractor

• Typically investing around $35k+ into the project

• Want cleaner bids, fewer change orders, and stronger execution


We take 3–5 new design starts per month (limited availability).

New construction or remodeling outside the footprint (additions/bump-outs/exterior expansions) is custom-scoped and will require a site survey

Before & After

What’s Included in Permit-Ready Drawings

When your project requires construction documents for approval, bidding, or execution, Delano creates permit-ready plans that define what is being built before the work begins.


Included:

• Existing and proposed layouts

• Wall modifications and structural changes

• Cabinetry and built-in elements

• Electrical layout design intent

• Plumbing fixture planning and design intent

• Elevations and construction details

• Coordination required to support pricing and permitting


We coordinate with engineers as needed when the project requires additional structural, civil, HVAC, electrical, or plumbing documentation.

How Design Creates Cleaner Contractor Pricing

Each step of the design process helps create a more accurate project estimate for the build phase. When scope, layout, and selections are defined before pricing begins, contractors are much more likely to bid the same job instead of making different assumptions.


• Clearer scope for cleaner bids

• Better comparison between contractors

• Fewer pricing gaps hidden in allowances

• Less risk of expensive changes after construction starts


We can assist with contractor sourcing, bid leveling, and scope comparison when your project calls for it.

BUILD PHASE / PROJECT ADMINISTRATION

construction plan

Want help during construction?

You can hire Delano Designs for design only, or continue into full-service support during construction. For the right projects, Delano stays involved to help ensure the build aligns with the design through site visits, drawing and selection reviews, progress monitoring, and homeowner reporting.


The licensed contractor contracts and executes the construction work. Delano’s role is to help protect the design, support communication, and reduce drift between the plan and the final result.
