1.Improved Communication
One major advantage of using a design-build firm is enhanced communication. Since the design and construction teams are united under one roof, there is less potential for miscommunication or misunderstanding. Better communication can lead to fewer errors, leading to a higher quality finished product.2. Time & Cost Efficiency
In the traditional design-bid-build process, you would first hire a designer or architect, then bid the project out to various contractors. The design-build model eliminates this lengthy process by integrating both roles. This drastically reduces the time from the beginning of the project to the completion, saving you time and money.
3. Accountability
When one firm is handling both the design and construction, you have a single point of accountability. Instead of juggling between architect and contractor inquiries, all concerns, and questions go through one channel, which can smooth out the process and reduce potential roadblocks.4. The Significance of the Design-Build Approach
When designers and builders work together – like they do at LBK – it creates a unified construction process. This is known as the design-build approach to construction. For example, the LBK design and build teams are all in-house and under one roof. This fosters effective communication between the two elements and helps the process run smoothly and efficiently by reducing miscommunication and mistakes. This, in turn, helps reduce cost and stress for the homeowner and helps bring visions to life more accurately.5. Flexibility is Key
Building a home does not always go according to plan – unexpected delays and changes in schedule happen. Flexibility and a willingness to adapt are qualities every homeowner should have during a home construction process. But it is also important to find a Design/Build partner that is just as adaptable and has a willingness to change. That’s why at LBK two of our Core Values are Communication and Adaptability.When considering your next construction or renovation project, consider the many advantages of working with a design-build firm.
