What Is Design-Build?

One company controls your entire project from design through construction with Design-Build. The Design-Build construction process eliminates unnecessary aggravation and delays, streamlining the entire home building system. At Distinct Building & Design, we handle every aspect of your project, from concept to design and through construction. Our team includes architects, designers, estimators, project managers, and general contractors who are all involved from the very first meeting. As the single point of responsibility and communication for your custom home, we work together to ensure that your project vision comes to life on time and on budget!


The Design-Build Institute of American (DBIA) provided this helpful example that explains how a Design-Build project works :


“The (Owner) manages only one contract with a single point of responsibility (The Design-Builder). The designer and contractor work together from the beginning, as a team, providing unified project recommendations to fit the Owner’s schedule and budget. Any changes are addressed by the entire team, leading to collaborative problem-solving and innovation, not excuses or blame-shifting. While single-source contracting is the fundamental difference between design-build and the old ways, equally important is the culture of collaboration inherent in design-build.”

Benefits of Design-Build

Design-Build Saves Time


Building a new home involves a lot of wasted time if you use the Design-Bid-Build approach. After you approve your architect’s plans, the plans are sent out for bids to construction companies. Receiving and comparing the bids can take weeks and perhaps longer. If you’ll also be working with a designer, you’ll need to allow time to review those bids too. 


Once you’ve settled on and hired a construction company and designer, work still doesn’t begin immediately. The company must order and purchase the materials needed for the job and most companies these days are booked out well into the future before they can start a new project anyway. Depending on the complexity of your project and the types of materials used, you may need to wait weeks or months until construction can begin. 


By hiring a single firm that can perform the design, estimating, and building components of your project, multiple phases of the project can be done at the same time instead of sequentially, saving you time. When you choose a Colorado construction and design firm, you won’t need to waste time with the bidding process. The team will begin making a tentative building schedule and estimating your final costs during the design phase, which can save considerable time.


Design-Build Saves Money


Design-Build construction also helps you keep costs under control. Since the builder and designer work closely together, team members often recommend changes or suggest a few tweaks that will reduce costs without affecting quality. The ability to make informed financial decisions during the design will allow you to value engineer the project before it goes under construction. 


Design-Build firms also help you limit the number of costly change orders. Change orders are issued when a change is requested after the plans have been finalized or construction has begun. Changes may require reworking plans or removing walls, flooring, or other features if construction has already begun and in almost all cases add cost and time to the project schedule.


Fortunately, change orders are less common in Design-Build. The design and build team is more likely to identify potential issues before plans are finalized and offer solutions, avoiding change orders weeks or months into the construction of your custom home. Of course, as a homeowner, you can always request a change order if you decide you’d like to add or change something.


Design-Build Improves Coordination


It is much easier to coordinate the design, performance, and cost elements of the project when they are being performed by one company vs multiple individual contractors. This flexibility and nimbleness of a Design-Build team translates to a more streamlined and efficient project due to quicker design time, fewer mistakes during construction, and an overall better experience for the client!
