What is a Design-Builder?

Well this is a Construction Industry Professional that has experience on both sides of the fence. They typically will have some design and construction background. This could also be a person or firm that has the ability to put together a great team of Design and Construction Professionals that can be a “one stop” shop for your project.

The ability to mesh Design with a Budget is the foundation of Design-Build service. A Design-Build firm should be able to perform this meshing for you on just about any project type. However, this service definitely lends itself to private clients that are on a tight budget. There should be several “checks and balances” along the way with DB service to ensure the end product is what the client is looking for.

This service provides clients with one source of responsibility. Whereas the Traditional delivery method of Design then Bid the project has the owner with two entities that are trying to work for your common good. This may not be the case on all projects that chose to go the Traditional delivery method

Another advantage to DB service is time. The Design can be in process while pricing is being preformed. This speeds the project to construction much quicker. So DB is right for clients that are on a tight budget and timeline.
