Do you know the term ‘design build’? What is it about?
What is design-build?
Design-build is the one package deal that allows one to build a project within one seamless structure. A design-build company wears the hat to manage the project’s design and construction in one singular approach instead of hiring multiple architects, who make everything overly complex.
The design-build replaces the traditional method of separating construction from its design. We work together as a team to solve problems and complete plans from one point of view. Usually, clients appreciate our system because it respects a strict budget and allows you to collaborate with all partakers of the project simultaneously.
What is the step-by-step process of a design-build?
Selecting the project’s team
The first step of creating a design-build is choosing a competent design-build team. Luckily, you do not have to go through the excruciating process of finding all these steps because we are a one-stop-shop for all tasks. Our entire team passes the essential skill level qualification and strives to better the quality with a significant amount of continued research and analysis for the project at hand.
Design
Do you have an idea of what you want for your project? The architectural design is only the beginning of a project and should have operational standards and preferences that meet the architect’s parameters. We set up preliminary drawings at this phase of the project and include you throughout the process for your approval and suggestions. The best part about using the design-build approach is that the designer and contractor work together without additional bids and move the project forward fast.
Construction
The pre-construction phase is a seemingly short one but necessary. It is the best stage for us to understand your vision for the project and tackle the challenges and goals that affect the project. The entire team will assess minute details like the electrical system to assess their performance and improve efficiency throughout the project. Upon completion, construction will begin as we document all procedures to ensure the deliverables are accurate.
