The benefits of hiring a company that offers both design and construction.

Apr 25, 2023 | Preparing to Build

 

 

Design and construction are two critical components of any building project. They are often thought of as separate services, with one company providing the design and another handling the construction. However, there are significant advantages to hiring a company that offers both services as a package. In this blog post, we will discuss some of these benefits to help you make an informed decision about your next building project.

 

 

1. Streamlined Communication

When you hire a company that offers both design and construction services, you only have to communicate with one point of contact. This streamlines the communication process and eliminates the need for you to act as a mediator between two separate companies. Having a single point of contact also reduces the potential for miscommunication and ensures that the entire team is on the same page.

2. Enhanced Cost Efficiency

When you hire a company that offers both design and construction services, you can benefit from the builder’s expertise in determining the most cost-effective construction methods for the design. Since the builder is involved in the design process, they can provide valuable input on build-ability, construction techniques, and material choices that can help optimize the project’s cost efficiency without compromising quality. This can result in a more cost-effective project that meets your budget while still achieving your desired outcome. Additionally, by working with a builder from the start of the project, you can avoid potential conflicts that may arise when a separate builder is brought in after the design phase, potentially leading to expensive design changes and delays. Overall, having a builder involved in the design process as part of a single package can lead to a more cost-efficient project and a smoother building experience.

3. Improved Coordination

Design and construction are intricately connected, and when one is handled separately from the other, there can be challenges with coordination. However, when you hire a company that offers both services, the design and construction teams can work together seamlessly. This means that issues can be identified and resolved more quickly, resulting in a smoother, more efficient project.

4. Faster Completion Times

Because a company that offers both design and construction services is better coordinated, the project is more likely to be completed faster. By having a single team work on your project, there is less downtime between the design and construction phases, which can result in a faster completion time.

5. More Creative Solutions

When a design and construction team work together, they are better able to collaborate and come up with creative solutions to challenges that may arise during the project. This can result in a better end product that meets your needs and exceeds your expectations.
