With over fifteen years in the building industry you can be confident that Anthem Homes design and build nothing less than excellence, and here we talk about the advantages of Design-Build (D-B).
Design-Build is a project delivery system that includes planning, design and construction under one contract, and is the idea of partnering the right team, from the start, to help get to a completed project successfully and provide the highest satisfaction to the Client/Owner.
So what are some of the advantages of the Design-Build approach? To start with it builds teamwork, with open and transparent communication. There is a single point of responsibility and D-B eliminates adversarial conditions. Also, it is not restricted to building types with faster project delivery.
There are three distinctive characteristics in the Design-Build approach, firstly being able to communicate instantaneously: being able to communicate instantaneously speeds the whole process which improves your project schedule. Secondly, conducting business without boundaries: you have no physical or geographical boundaries getting in the way of your timeline, and thirdly, producing customized products: the ability to quickly produce products that are custom and not your prototypical replications.
A Design-Build Team is usually made up of people who have worked together before. They know each other’s strengths and weaknesses and can build off that knowledge to make the process more streamlined and successful. Single source of responsibility means one entity drives the flow of work all the way through completion by using open/transparent communication. The roles of contractor and designer are integrated to allow the architect to spend more time on the project. Both of these factors directly relate to eliminating adversarial conditions by using a single contract between the Owner and Design-Build Team.
The D-B Team forms a unified front that helps create an enjoyable working experience for everyone involved. There is no blame game or finger pointing when something goes wrong. Rather, there is a shared responsibility for the design, budget and schedule, which brings the focus directly to solving the issue at hand as a unified front.
