* Advantage 1- Single Source Responsibility. Perhaps the most appealing and easy to recognize advantages design/build offers are the convenience and comfort of one-stop shopping. The client looks to a single entity to take full responsibility for design, construction and satisfactory completion, delivering the project on time and on budget. This means greater efficiency, cooperation instead of conflict, and a better project for the time and money invested.
* Advantage 2- Enhanced communication and quality control. Instead of having several contractors and consultants, the client has just one entity to deal with. Design revisions, project feedback, budgeting, permitting, construction issues, and billing can all be routed through one company. This single point of contact allows a certain degree of flexibility for both the client and the contractor. The lines of communications are simplified and chances for misunderstandings are reduced.
* Advantage 3- Cost Control. Provided that a realistic budget is established and agreed to prior to entering into a design/build agreement, we take on the responsibility of protecting the budget as design happens. Because we have a thorough knowledge of the construction process and associated costs, we focus on ensuring that our designs reflect both customer specifications and construction feasibility.
