- Hold a contingency for older-home conditions.
Why design-build works for Marietta homeowners
Marietta has some of the oldest housing stock in Cobb County, so whole-home renovations and kitchen remodels there often uncover older framing, wiring or plumbing. Planning a contingency and confirming any historic-district requirements early keeps those projects on track.
With one team handling design, permits and construction, Marietta homeowners get a single point of contact, a written scope before work starts and documented pricing for any changes. Acworth is our primary market, and Marietta is close enough that site visits, inspections and construction are coordinated the same way.
