Boulder, CO (PRWEB) August 16, 2012

Residential and commercial remodeling contractor Melton Construction Inc., headquartered in Boulder, Colorado, announced today that it has changed its trade name to Melton Design Build. According to Ty Melton, president of the company, Our company was one of the first design build remodeling firms serving Boulder and the surrounding areas. We started offering design services shortly after we began doing business in 1993. Our new name, Melton Design Build, better reflects the full spectrum of architectural design and construction services we provide our clients. The company has also changed its web address to http://www.MeltonDesignBuild.com to reflect its new name.

Asked why the company uses the design build approach, Rick Johnson, Melton Design Builds general manager, explained The design build approach to remodeling is an easier, more convenient and less complex remodeling process for our clients. He continued, We find most homeowners and business owners find it very appealing. Its been our experience that for most types of remodeling projects, the design build approach we use is simpler, faster and can provide clients greater value. One of the reasons is that the ability to design and build a project to a specific budget is enhanced with this method.

With the design build remodeling process, the property owner selects a single design build remodeling contractor that works with the owner from the initial design discussions through to completion of the construction on the project. The design build contractor provides both the design and construction services. Selecting a design build remodeling contractor is different than selecting a construction-only contractor as it involves evaluating the contractors ability to provide the quality of design as well as the quality of construction the property owner is looking for.

Mr. Melton explained some of the benefits he believes design build offers. With design build the remodeling contractor designs the project so that it can be built within the agreed target budget. Since our staff architect who is designing the project knows construction costs intimately, the design is developed to fit in the overall design and construction budget from the beginning. And, as the contractor is responsible to the client for the entire process, if there is a problem with the design or construction, it is up to the design build contractor to resolve it. No time or money is wasted figuring out who is responsible to fix the problem. Its just a lot neater and simpler.

While not well known in some parts of the country, the trend towards design build remodeling has been growing over the past 25+ years. In many parts of the country, it is the dominant approach for many types of remodeling projects. Many of the design awards given by the remodeling industrys various competitions go to design build remodeling firms. Melton has won several of those awards for both commercial and residential remodeling projects.
