Design Home Builders: Making a Plan from the Ground Up

A while back we talked about the design-build system’s main advantage, the personal element. While that is a huge bonus, it is far from the only thing that makes a design-build system superior to other forms of construction. Every part of a project – planning to execution, money and time – is more efficient than with the architect-contractor method.

A design builder is an expert in both architecture and on-site construction. This one simple fact makes a world of difference. Just because an idea works well on paper doesn’t mean it will work well in execution. Conversely, when you focus solely on construction, it is easy to lose site of the ‘larger picture’ of the project as a whole. Having expertise in both fields allows the design builder to put together a plan in detail right from the start, rather than having to go through multiple revisions.

This difference goes right to the bottom line of the project. Less revisions and changes to the design means less time taken to build a project and, in the end, a lower cost. When a plan is put together with a detailed knowledge of the crew building it, the designer can play to their individual strengths. This keeps the construction moving along smoothly, which again will lower the cost and time taken for a project.
