Metzger Design
Home Builders & Construction Companies in Portsmouth Heights.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars5 May 2014
“I hired Metzger Design to finish the basement of a single family home I had just bought sometime in June of 2013. As a professional realtor with a PMP (project management expertise), I usually do more research and explore at least 3 contractors before choosing who I hire. With Metzger Design, I did not have to go to a second or third vendor to compare notes; I was convinced thru the owner and builder himself, Jared Metzger, that I will be in good hands. It was critical I hire a reputable, trustworthy, and highly competent contractor because I was still living in 2-3 hours away from the house I bought and so I wouldn't be able to check on their work on a regular basis. Metzger Design delivered the requirements of my home project on time, below cost projection, and most importantly according to my expectations. Walk thru requests were efficiently addressed. That is to me the essence of high integrity. And I liked Jared's concept and execution of design, not to mention his honest, professional, and friendly personality. We are now enjoying our nicely finished basement!”

When building a new house, people often turn to architects to kick off the project. However, a different model is becoming quite popular: design-build. Instead of dividing tasks between separate architecture and construction companies, you can hire a full-service firm to design and build your entire Portsmouth Heights, VA project, from initial sketches through final construction. Learn more about how to choose the right design-build construction for your home project below:

What is a design-build firm?


Design-build companies take on the responsibilities of architects, contractors and construction companies, all under one roof. These full-service firms focus on a streamlined process — from the initial design to the estimating phase to physical construction — in the hope of creating an efficient experience for both the client and the company. Because the entire project is happening within one company, design-build firms are able to overlap the design and construction phases of the project, which oftens speeds up the project significantly. In addition, these firms work to minimize risks for the project owner through single-point responsibility contracts. However, depending on the firm, you may still want to contact an interior designer or architect to help create the exact look you want. Here are some related professionals and vendors to complement the work of design-build firms: Interior Designers & Decorators, Landscape Architects & Landscape Designers, Architects & Building Designers, Photographers.

Before deciding on a design-and-build firm, think about what you want from your new home. Do you want a large kitchen for entertaining? Do you need several bedrooms for children and guests? Do you want a finished basement for extra space or storage? Look for aVirginia design-builder who specializes in the areas you're looking for. Budget is obviously a determining factor in the outcome of your project. To make sure you stay within your means, consider making a must-have list and a wish list. Gauge where the estimates are falling to determine which design-and-build contract can realistically strike the balance between the two.

Questions to ask a prospective design-builder:


  • How long have you been in the business?
  • How many projects like mine have you completed?
  • Who will be working on the project?
  • Are the workers employees or subcontractors?
  • Can you provide me with references?
  • Who is your designer, and what are his or her qualifications?
  • Are your employees licensed and insured?
  • How do you charge, and what does that include?
  • Can you give me a written estimate?
  • What do your services include?
  • When can this job get done?
  • What happens when cost exceeds the budget? What about changes to materials or labor pricing?
  • What will I need to provide?
  • Are there any important considerations or concerns you foresee with this project?
