Design-build construction is rapidly catching on. According to the Design-Build Institute of America, nearly half (47%) of America’s construction dollars will be invested in design-build projects by 2026.
Today, design-build construction can be an ideal way to streamline your commercial projects. But the best results will come from a strong design-build team. Here are just some of the benefits that a strong design-build firm can bring to the table — and to the job site.
Design-Build Firms Bring Seamless Collaboration
The primary aim of design-build construction is to unite the design and build processes under a single, unified contract. As a result, the entire process is streamlined from design to delivery. That’s because the design-build model uniquely fosters communication and collaboration across all phases of the construction process.
Such close collaboration empowers team members to share their respective expertise and resolve problems quickly. Any barrier that might stand between designers and builders is eliminated, giving way to a seamless workflow and smoother delivery process.
Design-Build Firms are Champions of Innovation
It’s true that a collaborative approach improves the speed of communication, but that’s just the start. Close working relationships allow diverse teams to share their expertise, leading to innovative approaches to commercial construction design.
These innovations can align with rising demands for sustainable construction practices, as well as delivering a commercial structure that’s aesthetically pleasing. And by collaborating closely with one another, design-build projects can be made more cost-effective, too.
Design-Build Firms Unite Accountability and Leadership
In traditional construction, the design and build processes are overseen by at least two different sets of professionals and governed by two different contracts. This can get confusing, especially when a client needs to make adjustments to the project during either phase of the process.
In contrast, design-build firms provide a single source of leadership and accountability for every project. Clients will have one point of contact for their commercial project, who is in turn responsible for overseeing its completion. This leads to more clarity, less conflict, and a smoother overall process than with traditional construction methods.
Design-Build Teams Adapt to Evolving Demands
Plans for commercial projects are often fluid. Clients may need to make last-minute adjustments or changes that affect its completion. But by partnering with a design-build team, clients can achieve a superior level of flexibility to accommodate evolving demands.
Design-build construction allows for seamless communication between designers and building crews. By promoting collaboration throughout the construction process, the commercial project can be adjusted to align with client requirements.
