Design Build Construction has revolutionized the way that consumers, architects, designers and contractors work together to accomplish a common goal.
While the approach is not new, Design Build has become very popular because it eliminates many of the common problems, frustrations and set-backs associated with the traditional construction process.
Design Build is a "one-stop-shop" approach to home building and remodeling where the contractor, architect and designer are all offered by one unified source - the Design Build Contractor. This unification allows us to operate as a team.
The Design Build advantages include:
- One point of contact from project conception to completion.
- Ensures client building plans are executed with maximum precision and consistency.
- Minimizes cost over runs and unexpected expenditures.
- Avoids costly errors.
- Saves time.
- Minimizes client stress.
- Maximizes client creative input.
- Eliminates finger pointing between subcontractors.
The Design Build Process
The Design Build process usually begins with only a concept or an idea. An initial meeting is set to determine the scope of project and a feasibility study is prepared. From this, the Design/Build contract is drafted and the design phase begins.
Design solutions are presented to the client, and from approved schemes, cost options and project specifications are developed and solidified. Final documents are prepared along with the contract for construction.
This, of course, is only a simplified overview of what can be an extremely involved process, depending upon the nature of the work required and the variety of design solutions, but does provide an outline of how the process proceeds.
