About Design Build

Design-build is the preferred development method for the growing number of public and private projects. If your home plans are not completed before you make contact, the following benefits of AVERY Building Company being your Design-Build source may be considered.

SINGULAR COMMUNICATION

With both design and construction handled through a single entity, there is one point of communication for quality, cost and schedule adherence. With Design-Build, the owner is able to focus on the scope of work and timely decision-making, rather than on coordination between designer and builder. The usual adversarial relationship between the architect/designer and builder is eliminated, creating an enjoyable project delivery process for the owner.

established costs

As all communication is channeled through the construction/estimating office during the design phase, customer financial expectations are more clearly understood. There is time to discuss cost ramifications for client and builder ideas. This approach typically eliminates the great budget discrepancy that often arises when a party unrelated to the building COST of the home is responsible for the design-planning phase.
  Furthermore, owners often do not realize the cost ramifications of their request. The Design-Build process, with the incorporation of the builders costing experience, will help streamline customer’s choices in order to create the best cost to value ratio for the home design and details. Of course the target budget is in sight at all times.

quality

The singularized responsibility inherent in Design-Build is a powerful quality motivator. Because the Design-Builder is solely responsible for the complete product and cannot shift responsibility for defects to another party, he is motivated to build in quality throughout the design, specification, and construction process.

cost savings

The Design-Build process demands a team approach. This can often result in cost savings for the owner when the design and construction process is effectively streamlined. The added benefit of a Design-Build form is that with the stream of work provided by the design team, cost savings become apparent with the development of an “alliance” of experienced, quality-minded sub trades, all working to provide owners with the highest quality and value.

Time savings

Because design and specification stages are overlapped, and because the bidding periods and redesign are minimized, total design and construction time can be significantly reduced.
