If you’re planning a major building or remodeling project, you’ll be presented with two methods of construction. This is the traditional and the design/build approaches. Both are highly popular, but the latter approach has been steadily gaining more popularity in recent decades. This is because the design/build approach meets the growing needs of those who want a better and more efficient way to complete their projects without sacrificing quality workmanship.
Here’s how you’ll benefit more from the design/build approach:
This type of construction approach usually starts with working with an architect who can design your dream home with all of your dream features. Once the plans are made, you’ll then go to several prospective contractors who’ll give bids to complete the project.
Ideally, you’ll want to get a good bid that’s within your budget, but what often happens is that the architect’s plans may require you to spend more on the construction process than anticipated. When this happens, you’ll be on your way to go beyond what you can afford. You can still look for a more affordable bid, but this can be difficult unless you increase your budget or undertake a redesign process.
This approach refers to the process in which both the design and construction of your project are done by one contractor. This means only one contract is needed for services, and the company that you hire will perform all of the services in-house or have some of the more specialized services subcontracted to other trusted companies.
The design/build approach promotes better collaboration among home remodelers and designers. Since it’s all done by a single entity, they can simultaneously receive input on design and feedback from multiple trades throughout the building or renovation process. This means less time is wasted, and you get to save more on the overall costs!
Since the same people are involved in your project from start to finish, you can be sure of the efficiency of the whole process. You can even be more involved when you choose the design/build approach since it’s easier to maintain communication with the contractor responsible for your project. When you get more involved, you’ll feel a better sense of accomplishment when the project’s completed and, therefore, more satisfied!
