2. Shorter Time Of Delivery The second reason homeowners fancy the design build strategy is because it guarantees a shorter duration of the project. When the same party is handling both the design and construction phases, initial construction and procurement can take place before the completion of the design phase. The last months of the design stage overlap the first months of the construction/procurement stage. The end result is time savings which translate to reduced construction costs and faster revenue. 3. Minimal Claims Single-point responsibility also ensures that there are few or no claims for extras during building projects. This is in contrast to traditional construction projects where a contractor is entitled to compensation caused by errors, ambiguities, or omissions in the specifications and plans.
