What is Design Build?

Design-build firms take on the responsibilities of architects, contractors, and construction companies all under one roof. These firms focus on a streamlined process, from the initial design to the estimating phase to physical construction, creating an efficient experience for both the client and the company.  Because the entire project is happening within one company, design-build firms are able to overlap the different phases of a given project, often expediting the completion of construction significantly.

The design-build approach relies on a single point of responsibility in order to minimize cost and time to delivery while boosting collaboration, creativity, and quality by allowing the designers and builders to freely and openly communicate during the entirety of the project.
