More on Design/Build

Working with a Design/Build contractor can be viewed as "one-stop shopping" -- in this situation, you can feel confident that your ideas and needs are understood, that they will be implemented properly in construction, and that your budget requirements are considered throughout. With this single-source responsibility, design and construction are one continuous, cohesive process, and the client has a chance to develop a solid working relationship with the contractor before entering into a construction contract. Design/build eliminates the confusion and finger pointing that can arise between the builder and designer. A good builder knows how to achieve important aesthetic goals in the most cost effective ways, and can offer this experience to the project early on. This is what is often referred to as "value engineering" -- the key word is value.

The most important aspect of any successful building project is communication. By establishing clear, open and accessible lines of communication between all parties from the beginning, the potential for misunderstandings and conflicts will be reduced or eliminated entirely from the construction process. Setting realistic goals and cultivating good working relationships from the start, you will find that the effort involved in creating your dream home is well worth the rewards.
