About
A design-build company, not a general contractor with a designer on call.
PHR Design Build plans and builds residential renovations across Dallas–Fort Worth. One team carries a project from the first conversation through final walkthrough.
Most remodeling companies are organized around trades. A homeowner hires a designer, then bids the drawings to contractors, then discovers the design and the budget were never speaking to each other. The gap between those two conversations is where renovations go wrong.
We work differently. Design, preconstruction planning, selections, estimating, and construction all sit with the same team. That means the people drawing your kitchen know what it costs to build, and the people building it were in the room when it was drawn.
It also means one point of accountability. When something needs resolving — and on a renovation, something always does — there is no question about whose responsibility it is.
How we approach the work
- Design and construction belong together
- When the designer and the builder are separate companies, the homeowner ends up mediating between them. Drawings get priced after they're finished, and the negotiation that follows is really a redesign under time pressure. Keeping both under one roof removes that gap — and the finger-pointing that comes with it.
- Decisions are cheapest on paper
- Changing a layout during design costs an eraser. Changing it during framing costs real money and real time. We front-load decisions into design and preconstruction so that construction is execution, not deliberation.
- Communication is part of the work
- A renovation is disruptive by nature. What makes it tolerable is knowing what's happening this week, what's happening next, and who to call. We'd rather tell you about a problem the day we find it than explain it later.
- Craft shows up in the details nobody photographs
- Tile layout that resolves properly at the corners. Cabinet reveals that stay consistent. Waterproofing done to spec behind the finish. These are the things that separate work that looks good on day one from work that still looks good in ten years.
Local Knowledge
DFW is not one market.
Permitting, plan review, and inspection processes differ from one Metroplex municipality to the next — sometimes substantially. So do the houses. A 1920s bungalow near downtown Dallas, a mid-century ranch in Richardson, and new-ish construction in Prosper each present different structural realities behind the drywall.
Knowing which review process applies, and what tends to be hiding in a given era of construction, is the difference between a schedule that holds and one that slips.
