LBK may be best known for our custom kitchen and bath remodels, but we also build custom homes. Here, we will discuss the role of a design-build contractor in building a custom home and why this model can help save you time, money, and even some stress in the process. For those seeking the perfect home, picking the right contractor can play a significant role in realizing your dream.
What is a Design-Build Contractor?
In traditional home building, you would need to hire separate entities for design and construction. Yet, with a design-build contractor like LBK, these two phases are combined. It means that the same company that drafts your dream home’s blueprints will also lead the construction process. This model eliminates any need for multiple contracts and coordinates the design and building phases, making the process simple and straightforward.
Why Opt for a Design-Build Approach?
- Accountability: A crucial benefit of taking the design-build approach is single-point accountability. With one design-build contractor, you avoid the “blame game,” usually experienced when multiple contractors are involved. If an issue arises, your design-build contractor is responsible for managing it.
- Efficiency and Consistency: With the same team planning, designing, and constructing your home, continuity is maintained. This scenario reduces mistakes and misunderstandings that can result from multiple teams managing the project.
- Cost Savings: A design-build approach can lead to cost savings. Because the integrated team is working together from the onset, there is better communication, more accurate estimations and, ultimately, a reduction in overall costs.
- Time Saving: The process is streamlined as the designers and builders communicate directly and collaborate from the start. This effort leads to quicker project completion times.
- Quality Assurance: By choosing a design-build contractor like LBK, you’re ensuring quality for every stage of your project, with the designs tailored to your needs and the finished building constructed to match those designs perfectly.
