Danto Builders Learning About Design Build | Page 7

First, it is crucial to understand what design to build and what it entails. Design build is a type of
project delivery that involves one entity—the design build team. The team will work under one
contract with you, the project owner and provide all construction and design services for your
new business. This provides unity throughout the project’s implementation and will make it easier
for you to organize each aspect of the building process. Since you have professionals like an
architect, electrician and interior designer on your side, you can work with each of these
consultants to share the vision for your building while collaborating with everyone to make sure
your plans are carried out. Design build teams are experienced in working with people who want
to build sports stadiums, schools, buildings and even water infrastructure projects with
satisfactory results.
Design build is a great alternative to design-bid-build as well. For a design-bid-build project, the
construction and design are divided into separate contracts. This may be ideal if you are building
your business one phase at a time. However, if you plan on having a grand opening and want to
welcome customers as soon as construction is complete, a design build team is a great option.
