One team. One contract. One point of accountability — from first sketch to final walkthrough.
Most renovation problems happen at the seam between architect and contractor. When your designer hands off plans to a builder, information gets lost, responsibility diffuses, and you pay the price in delays and change orders. Design-build eliminates that gap.
At Kenmore, one team manages your project from initial design through construction completion — under one contract, with one PM accountable for both the vision and the execution.
Start a ConversationSingle contract, shared accountability, no handoff between designer intent and construction reality. One team sees the project through from concept to completion.
See your project before construction begins. Iterate on design decisions digitally — not in the field, where changes cost 10x more.
Our design team proposes material and system alternatives that achieve your aesthetic and functional goals while optimizing for budget. Better decisions, earlier.
Plans drawn to permit-ready standards from day one. Fewer revision cycles, fewer back-and-forths with the building department, faster permit issuance.
Real-time cost tracking, contingency management, and transparent reporting. No surprise change orders at month four of a six-month project.
Post-project maintenance access, future project planning, and contractor referrals for work outside our scope. We want to be your construction partner, not a one-time vendor.
We learn how you live, what you need, and what you're trying to achieve. Function and budget are defined before design begins.
Rough floor plans and massing concepts — we establish the broad strokes and get your feedback before investing in detailed drawings.
Detailed drawings developed alongside real-time cost tracking. You know what it will cost as design progresses — not after everything is drawn.
Permit-ready drawings submitted directly from our design process. No handoff, no reinterpretation, no lost information.
Construction managed by the same team who designed it. Field decisions made with full design intent context. Closeout and punch list managed to completion.
"We tried the traditional route first — hired an architect, got plans, then couldn't get contractors to bid reliably. Switched to Kenmore's design-build approach and the entire process was smoother, faster, and the result is exactly what we designed. Should have started there."
"The integrated approach meant that every design decision came with a real cost figure attached. No surprises. When we wanted to upgrade materials, we knew exactly what it would add. That kind of transparency is rare."
Design-build is especially powerful for ground-up custom construction.
