It is important that architects, engineers and contractors understand themselves and be at the same page during the design, development, and realization of a commercial construction project. It is not always easy to achieve this, as professionals have their individual and field related views and perspectives to things. For example, the engineer should be able to appreciate the architect’s work, and find their design feasible in the real world. Commercial construction projects deal these issues every day.
Design-Build: The “supermarket” Construction Experience
There is a solution to this problem. What if you hire a firm that has contractors, architects and engineers who work together and understand themselves? Such companies are called Design-Build construction companies.
LEMARG construction is one of such firms! They have a collection of the very best. A good design-build construction firm saves you this headache by handling the entire process for you, from the conceptualization to the design and to the construction proper. When you work with a design-build operation, you let one team handle all the construction processes, from beginning to the end. A typical design build firm includes general contractors, engineers and architects, as well as every other manpower required to complete the project.
A design-build construction firm offers the following benefits:
Subcontractor Familiarity
A firm that wants to retain clientele will hire only the best and would work with trusted subcontractors that have reputation of delivering quality and within the project timeline. A team that employs efficient procedures saves time, money and energy for the client.
Closeness to Clients
You should be able to relate better with the one team responsible for making your personal or commercial construction project a success if you are working with a design build firm. Unlike traditional setups, you will not have to relate mostly with documents or keep running around from the architect to the engineers, trying to find a middle ground from their divergent views. You the client is the focus and you can give your input and can more easily supervise your project. You can make your choices of materials and be able to detail the prices of the various materials to be used. You are also allowed to discuss any of the parameters you wish to change at any time with the firm and have it effected where possible.
Fewer Owner Responsibilities
Contact the design-build contractor if you need any additional work or changes at any point during the project. All the design build firm will do in this instance is to contact the person responsible within the team to make that last minute tweaks you need to the design plan. This gives you all the peace of mind you need as you complete your project.
Contractors and Clients can now share profits!
You always save money when one team does everything for you. This is also applicable when you let a design build firm handle your contracts. There is usually an established profit-share system between the contractor and the client under this arrangement. The firm works directly with the client, reduces the project costs, saves the clients some money, makes some more, everyone goes home happy.
