Design-Build
Design-Build is an approach to construction that combines the owner, architect and contractor into a single working team, bringing the work of design and construction into one seamless process. One company takes responsibility for the entire project. Here's what Design-Build can do for you:
Speed—Overlapping design with construction eliminates many delays that can slow construction and add cost.
Solutions—Having a single firm with sole responsibility for the project prevents a game of “hot potato," where the team expends more effort on passing blame than on finding solutions.
Flexibility—Design-Build allows you to more easily make adjustments along the way to take advantage of new developments without backing up and starting over.
Expertise—A firm with Design-Build experience has a firm grasp of all angles in the construction process, benefitting you even if your project isn't Design-Build.
Less surprises—In construction, no one likes surprises. Design-Build eliminates many surprises by guiding and defining the project goals and requirements right from the very start.
