Benefits to the owner and project

Traditional construction projects began with an owner hiring an architect to develop plans, and then seek a general contractor to hire and bid out the project costs. This method left too many variables open for misinterpretation and the project subject to over pricing and extended completion dates. The Design-Build construction procurement method was developed to resolve those types of issues by creating a collaborative team environment that fosters communication and sharing of best practices and pricing between the project owner, architect and general contractor.

Including Design-Build (DB) professionals at the earliest phases of project conception benefits the owner by having a refined perspective on the overall project logistics, budgets and schedule for completion. The DB team is able to forecast project milestones and factor design, material and construction methods to streamline project costs and schedules. The resources gathered by the DB team benefit the project by enhancing performance, streamlining schedules and reducing the task of procuring materials and work force. All team members benefit from each other's specializations, skills sets and systems that allow for quality control and accountability.

Working as a team

SDB works closely with the owner and architect to review the project scope, budget, schedule and design. At each phase of the drawing evolution we will review specifications for potential construction options, cost savings, safety concerns, long-lead item scheduling for time savings and overall project schedule phases and milestones. Our ability to act as a general contractor and construction manager on Design-Build projects will greatly enhance a successful project completion on-time and within budget.
