What Exactly is Design-Build, Anyway?

Renovating areas of your home, whether it be your kitchen, bathrooms, entryway or even building an addition to your home has several benefits, including increasing the enjoyment that you get out of your home and improving your home’s value. However, actually going through with a renovation can be a long and stressful process. This process can be made less complicated and less stressful by using a design-build team.

In more typical renovation projects, you will have to go through two separate parties: the designer and the contractor. The designer will help you make the plan for the renovation, and then you’ll hire a contractor to actually do the renovation. The problem is that the designer and contractor are not working directly together and rarely have an established system of communication. You’ll have to work as the go-between if there are problems, which can quickly become a stressful process. A design-build team doesn’t encounter this issue; in a design-build team, a designer and contractor work as one entity and under one contract.

There are a number of benefits to using a design-build team over the more typical renovation process, which is known as design-bid-build. There is much clearer communication between everyone involved, which means you don’t have to act as a go-between. Clearer communication leads to higher quality work, and, according to a study on commercial projects, costs are reduced by as much as 8 percent and the time it takes to complete the renovation is decreased by almost 33 percent. Working with one company helps streamline orders, budgeting and billing as well.
