Plan Your Remodel the Right Way—Before You Build

Most projects fail because the plans weren’t fully developed.

At Delano Designs, we create permit-ready construction plans in Atlanta that define your entire project before hiring a contractor.

Schedule your design consultation and start your project the right way

Plans That Prevent Costly Mistakes Before Construction

Permit drawings are used for:

City approvals
Contractor bidding
Construction execution

But more importantly—they define exactly what is being built.

Without a complete plan set, projects are often:

mispriced
delayed
or built incorrectly

Why Most Remodeling Projects Go Wrong

No clear scope before construction
Contractors pricing incomplete information
Layout issues discovered too late
Changes during construction increase cost

This is not a construction problem—it’s a planning problem.

Is this a fit?

Are planning a kitchen, bathroom, or full home remodel

BUILD PHASE / PROJECT ADMINISTRATION

Want help during construction?

You can hire Delano Designs for design only, or add build-phase coordination. During the build, we coordinate with a licensed general contractor to ensure construction aligns with the design—site visits, drawing + selection reviews, progress monitoring, and homeowner reporting. The licensed contractor contracts and executes the construction work (Trades & supervision).
