5 Reasons Why You Should Consider A Design-Build Delivery Method

The design-build delivery method has been growing in popularity over the years – between 2018 and 2021 has grown to 44% of construction spending.  Under the design-build delivery method owners hire a single company to execute both design and construction of their project under a single contract. There are an array of benefits to this delivery method, so let us guide you through the 5 key reasons you should consider a design-build delivery method:

The Biggest Benefit – More Collaboration!

Traditional construction has formal hand-offs and bidding processes. Although everyone involved in the project is professional and will do their best to meet the client’s expectations, each group works alone which adds inefficiencies for others.

On the other hand, the design-build delivery method unites the talents and experience of architects, designers, and construction companies into one cohesive team working together to meet your needs. Because a single point of contact is planning with you from the very beginning, the burden of coordinating with multiple contractors and consultants is eliminated. Additionally, the design builder has a true understanding of your big picture project vision, and you are involved every step of the way.

Time Savings

Whenever your organization is executing on a large-scale construction project it is absolutely crucial for it to be completed in a timely manner. You want quality work that has a limited impact on your organization’s productivity. When you leverage the design-build method of construction you get just that. By working with a single point of contact who coordinates all work timelines, you are able to streamline all communications, reducing the time commitment for the owner and simplifying the entire project planning and implementation process.

Cost Savings

Another significant benefit of the design-build delivery method is cost savings. Because multiple steps of the project are tackled simultaneously, costs can be greatly reduced. Change orders are limited, materials can be ordered early, and design-builders are motivated to reduce design changes; all these factors and more contribute to cost savings for clients.

Accountability

The design-build model of delivery also establishes a deeper sense of accountability with your building partner. Because the entire project falls within a single contract your design-builder carries full responsibility for the work, including cost, timelines, and quality.

Expertise

In addition to all the advantages outlined above, another reason you should consider the design-build delivery method is expertise. Not only can you capitalize on the experience of a strong construction company, but you also benefit from their partnerships with building designers and architects. By working with a design-builder with broad expertise and strong partnerships you can mitigate risk and potential errors throughout the completion of the project.
