Our Fix For The Remodeling Industry’s Oldest Problem
Most contractors bid your project before it’s fully designed. Their contracts are stuffed with “allowances”: placeholder numbers for cabinets, tile, and fixtures nobody has actually picked yet.
When you actually choose the materials, the real prices show up, and so do the change orders. It’s the most common reason remodels run 20-30% over the original estimate.
At Gill Construction, we built our entire company around eliminating that problem.
How Our Design-Build Process Makes The Gill Guarantee Possible
At Gill Construction, we don’t bid your project and figure out the details after. We do it the right way:
1. Start with an honest budget conversation
We provide an estimated budget range in your design agreement, based on actual costs from past projects in Central Texas.
Then, we ask you a question most contractors never ask:
“Do you want your budget to drive the design, or the design to drive the budget?”
Some clients want us to maximize what a set number can do. Others want to see their ideal project first and decide from there. Either way, you make every decision with real cost information in front of you.
2. All-inclusive design and development
Every project goes through a complete design and development phase before construction begins.
That means full design plans, detailed drawings, and renderings so you can see exactly what you’re getting.
We specify everything: materials, fixtures, finishes, hardware, and layout, all selected and priced during design.
No more “allowances” or vague numbers in your contract because there’s nothing left to guess.
3. Guarantee the price
By the time you sign the contract, you know exactly what you’re buying and what it costs, and we know exactly what we’re building.
We put that number in writing and stand behind it.
Whether the final design falls within your original range or you choose to go beyond it, the number you sign is the number you pay.
The Fine Print, In Plain English
You Change The Scope
If you decide mid-project to add a window or upgrade to a different countertop, we’ll price the change, and you’ll approve it in writing first before any additional work starts.

Frequently Asked Questions
With most contractors, allowance overruns and change orders routinely push final costs 20-30% above the estimate. Under the Gill Guarantee, your contract price only changes if you request a scope change or a concealed condition is uncovered, and you approve either in writing first.
A design-build firm handles both design and construction under one team and one contract. Because the designer and builder work together, projects can be designed within a specific budget and priced completely before construction begins. This is what makes the Gill Guarantee possible.
That’s exactly why we design first. The guaranteed price is set at the end of the design phase, after all materials and finishes have been selected and priced. We never guarantee a number we haven’t fully built on paper.
It happens, especially when clients expand their wishlist during the design stage. We’ll show you exactly why and walk you through your options, such as adjusting materials, trimming the scope, phasing the project, or moving forward with the new number. The guarantee applies whatever price you ultimately sign. The estimated range in your design agreement is a planning tool, not a commitment.
Yes, design is a paid phase with its own fixed fee, agreed upfront. It’s how we can afford to do the detailed planning and pricing that makes the construction price guaranteed.
Yes. Every kitchen remodel, bathroom remodel, addition, and whole-home remodel in Bell and Williamson County carries the Gill Guarantee.
