Renovation
Design Group is the leader in architectural design of residential
additions and remodels in Utah. It was founded to accomplish its
mission to bring architecture to discerning homeowners. The founders
believe that architecture can improve the quality of life. Our vision
is to provide the highest level of architectural service while carrying
the positive effects of architectural services to an expanded circle
of families and individuals.
To
ensure professional architectural standards, licensed architects
are employed to act as consultants. To make architectural services
affordable, Renovation Design keeps overhead low, consults homeowners
about steps they can take to minimize the architect's time on the
project, and offers our clients the option to customize the amount
of detail in our drawings to meet their specific needs and budget.
In this way, the full spectrum of architectural services is offered
to homeowners, from large full-scale additions to new construction
to small interior makeovers.
