DESIGN BUILD
Design Build is a system where the builder undertakes a single contract with the owner to provide both design as well as construction services. This is not a usual case in the construction world, there are different entities involved for design and construction separately. In this case, a single entity takes care of end to end services, making it seamless and efficient since the entire project is the responsibility of one team.
How is Design-Build a better option?
Undertaking the responsibility of delivering a project from its design to construction creates a foundation of collaboration & teamwork in the design-build team, eliminating the owner’s hassle of co-ordinating & following up with multiple entities to ensure completion. Design build also ensures quality and strategized output since the entire team is aware of the process and is collectively working for a single goal.
If not for design-build, the owner is liable to manage separate teams (sometimes more than two since many entities specialize in a separate niche) increasing probability of inefficiency, conflicts and misunderstanding. This results in the owner’s engagement to sort out disputes that occur taking their time, effort & money to ease out the process.
Design-build eliminates the extra process for the owner which includes bidding amongst construction companies once the architectural plans are built which creates a liability gap since it’s only human to point out fingers at others for the problems that occur.
The design-build team becomes liable to integrate design & construction and ensure completion of the entire process without minimal hassles for the owner. Hence design-build becomes a better option when it comes to creating a new space.
The basic understanding of design build is that there should be no more than one contract for completion of the project.
We at Supreme Constructions offer this viable service of design-build with a team of experienced professionals to reduce the owner’s hassles.
