Architecture Company vs. Design & Build Construction
Choosing a home architect means obtaining design plans, but the relationship typically ends there. Residential architects focus on home design, leaving you to manage various remodeling contractors independently. Coordinating these professionals can be complex and time-consuming, requiring you to act as your project manager. Any design changes during the construction process may incur additional architect fees. Additionally, architects may lack the latest material information, placing the responsibility of researching materials and pricing on you.
Opting for a design-build firm combines architecture and construction under one contract, streamlining the process. The architectural design team collaborates seamlessly with the construction team, handling any issues or alterations efficiently. You stay informed throughout the project, benefiting from the firm’s expertise in material costs and efficient project management.

Talmadge Construction Reviews
Our Clients’ Impressions
“I contracted Talmadge Construction to remodel my farmhouse entryway into a working porch and mudroom. This was not your standard request, and Jeff and his crew performed beyond my expectations to assure that what they created was exactly what I wanted. They asked all the right questions, were absolutely attentive to detail, and were vigilant and exacting in providing the best quality work. Jeff sought the best craftspeople for such requests as fabricating a traditional outdoor washing sink and an installer to work with my own tile collection to lay the mudroom floor. The results are practical, beautiful, and holding up well to rugged daily use. I highly recommend Talmadge Construction.”
“100% Satisfaction. Talmadge met all of my expectations. We’ve been using them for smaller projects for over 30 years. When it came to this big project, we knew we wanted to use Talmadge Construction.”
