• One Responsible Party- One company is responsible for every aspect of the construction project. The owner does not waste time coordinating communication between the various parties involved.
• Cost Savings- Having the contractor, designer, and builder under one roof allows the process to be more streamlined and efficient. Everyone is on the same page with the delivery schedule which reduces the cost of extra time, equipment, and manpower that is often associated with different parties responsible for different components.
• Time Savings- The Design Build process eliminates the competitive bidding process that often adds to the project completion time. Furthermore, the design and construction portion occur at the same time, saving time during the beginning of the project.
• Early Knowledge of Costs- Because the designer and construction team are working as one it is much easier to determine the costs of the project. While the designs are being developed, the team can simultaneously determine the costs associated with each element. Therefore, clients are aware of exactly what they’re spending with less surprise costs down the road.
• Improved Risk Management- Each aspect of the project has been carefully developed through the collaboration of the contractor, designer, builder, and client. Each party involved is aware of what they’re responsible for and have coordinated their efforts with one another. The process becomes more efficient, therefore reducing the amount of risk involved.
• Increased Quality Control- Having one company responsible for each step of the process promotes a more cohesive approach to the remodel. One party orchestrating each aspect of the remodel assures that standards are met throughout and the goal is more accurately communicated.
