More on Design/Build
Working
with a Design/Build contractor can be viewed as "one-stop
shopping" for the home buyer. 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.
If a custom home is in your future, consider the merits of
Design/Build. Whether with an architect/builder team, or a
Design/Build contractor, there are many advantages, including
clearer communication during the construction phase, increased
value vs. overall investment and increased efficiency, resulting
in faster project completion times.
