3D technology is changing home remodelers approach to projects.

Local home renovation and remodeling company Built By Design, headquartered in Southern Johnson County, is turning to technology to give homeowners a clearer vision of how their basement, kitchen or bathroom can be transformed.

“3D technology is really changing how high-end home remodeling gets done,” said co-owner David Schmidt. “We can take an existing space and show people exactly what their finished room will look like, without any guessing or hassle.”

Technology is changing some elements for home remodelers, but at Built By Design, the most important ones haven’t changed a bit. Mike Schwartz, the other half of the ownership tandem, notes that “we go out of our way to give people binding bids up front, not just estimates. Technology advances help us be more accurate up front, which is good for both us and the customer.”

Working With Home Remodelers

If you’re considering a remodeling project, regardless of what room and what budget, Built By Design recommends that you make sure to get all of the below:

• A firm bid (not just an estimate) of the total cost
• Referrals and examples of recent remodels in your price range
• Design plans or 3D renderings of what the finished space will look like

Aside from room remodeling, Built By Design also specializes in room additions (including garages) and new home construction. To see examples of their remodeling work, visit the company online at http://www.builtbydesignkc.com/portfolio/ .
