Davitt Design Build honored by The National Association of the Remodeling Industry

The National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI) named Davitt Design Build Inc. 2015 National Contractor of the Year winner in the Residential Historical Renovation/Restoration $250,000 and Over, and Entire House $750,000-$1,000,000 categories of its annual awards competition. Navigating the process of building a home that is custom built within budget can be very daunting, but the team at Davitt Design Build tries to make this process as streamlined as possible. The Davitt Design Build logo, "build smart-live well" describes their mission precisely, and the team stays in contact with clients throughout their time living in their home making Davitt Design Build a household name known for delivering quality production and service. The design-build model provides clients with a more cost effective method of creating the home of their dreams since all services are provided through one company. Constant communication throughout the design and production phase helps the client to avoid conflict with budget. Davitt Design Build Inc is a design-build firm that is known for the high quality homes they produce and restore on the coast. Contractors from seven regions nationwide vie for the awards on an annual basis. An impartial panel of judges, who are experts within the industry and associated fields, selected winners based on problem solving, functionality, aesthetics, craftsmanship, innovation, degree of difficulty and entry presentation. Earlier this year, NARI named 160 Regional CotY winners with 33 team members who advanced as finalists to the national level. NARI announced a National winner in each of the 36 categories at its Evening of Excellence reception, held in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. With the home in Jamestown, RI, the goal was to enhance and transform the property. The property is all about location and has a lot to offer, specifically being waterfront. The home has been completely transformed from an obscure, hidden property to an opening and inviting bay front property. The historical renovation was an 1800's home that needed to be revitalized into a home that kept its historical elements, but also could comfortably match the lifestyle of a modern day family of five. NARI presents CotY awards annually to members who have demonstrated outstanding work through their remodeling projects. This year, 390 entries were submitted in the competition totaling more than $85.5 million worth of remodeling projects. NARI is a professional association whose members voluntarily subscribe to a strict code of ethics. To be considered for a CotY Award, a company must be a NARI member in good standing. For over 20 years Davitt Design Build has designed, built, renovated, and restored fine homes on the coast. Their design-build model integrates the architect and the builder from the outset of a project. Their ongoing collaboration saves clients time and money. With design-build, all services are provided through a single entity - the design-build firm - avoiding conflicts that are common in the traditional design-bid-build approach. At Davitt Design Build the team believes that it's just as important as what they do as how they do it. They draw and price simultaneously, providing clients with detailed estimates for every component every step of the way. Accurate cost projections enable clients to pro-actively manage their budget and make informed choices.
