In the luxury markets of Newport Beach and Laguna Beach, the traditional way of remodeling a home is fundamentally broken—and it’s costing homeowners hundreds of thousands of dollars in hidden fees.
When you hire an independent architect, a separate interior designer, and an outside general contractor, you are creating a recipe for financial friction. The architect draws a beautiful dream that isn’t anchored to real-world material costs. The contractor bids on it, realizes it’s over budget, and the dreaded “Change Orders” begin.
As a true One-Stop Shop, Julie Laughton Design Build eliminates the middleman. Because Julie is the Architect, the Designer, and the Licensed Contractor, she designs to your actual budget from day one.
- No Hidden Fees: Cost projection is baked into the initial sketches.
- Value Engineering: We know exactly what materials cost and how they install, preventing budget inflation.
- Single Accountability: There are no overlapping management fees or conflicting agendas.
Don’t pay three different companies to figure out what one expert can do seamlessly.
