Why a Design-Build Project is Right for You

The benefits of choosing a design-build project.

When it comes to commercial construction in the Bay Area, there are various project types.  One option that you can select is a design-build project.  But what is a design-build and how does choosing this option benefit the client?  Here’s what you need to know about design-build commercial construction projects.

What is design-build?

With a design-build, the project manager has only one contract for the whole project.  This means that the designer and contractor is a single person or a pair that works together as a team to meet the client’s wants, budget, and schedule.  This is a collaborative construction method that saves time and makes it easier to coordinate and adjust building and design plans.

Why is a good option?

  • Consistent Standards: Because the roles of designer and contractor are integrated, the construction project is managed by a single person or team. This makes for a more streamlined construction process and allows the project manager to ensure the quality and standards of the project throughout.
  • Improved Efficiency: Because the entire project is managed by a single entity, processes are more efficient. There are no time-consuming misunderstandings and adjustments can be made swiftly and decisively.
  • Reduced Costs: Finally, design-build projects tend to be more cost-effective because operations can be streamlined. This cuts down on work management costs as well as the expenses stemming from a miscommunication between design and construction teams.

These are some of the reasons why a design-build project may be the perfect option for your next commercial construction in the Bay Area.  Looking for the right expert to handle our next design-build project?  Then turn to the experts at Proforma Construction.  Serving Pleasanton and the surrounding California area, our highly-trained team is ready to make your commercial construction dreams a reality.  Contact us to get started today.
