7 Benefits of Design-Build Construction

If you’re considering a building project, you’ve probably heard of design-build project delivery. One of the frequent questions we are asked is, “What are the advantages of the design-build delivery method over the traditional design-bid-build method?” As an experienced design-build contractor, we have built over 40 projects through our design-build delivery method. We put together 7 benefits of design-build construction. You can check them out below:

Here are 7 benefits of design-build construction.

  1. Teamwork: Everybody involved in the project works together. We all share the same goal, to build a project that meets or exceeds the owner’s expectations. Since everybody is on the same team, everybody works together to form solutions to any problem.
  2. Accountability: The design-builder is held accountable, including the finished building, total cost, and the entire process. Through the design-build delivery method, the design-builder pays more attention to scheduling and pricing during the design phase.
  3. Efficiency: The design-build firm is involved in the project from start to finish which creates an efficient and effective process. There is a huge advantage when the builder and designer are a part of the same team creating a more collaborative environment.
  4. Involvement: For owners that want to be an active participant in the design and construction of their building, the design-build process is the way to go. By being actively involved in their project, they are guaranteed that the outcome of the project will meet or exceed their expectations. Being a part of the entire process also gives the building owner a strong sense of pride to their building.
  5. Communication: The design-build process is transparent because clients are a part of the project from the design to completion. Having clear communication also means that the budget is defined early in the design process which provides a guideline for construction and an agreement throughout the project.
  6. Time-Saving: Design-build projects can be completed in a shorter amount of time because scheduling for the project can begin before the design is finalized, and potential problems are uncovered early. Enhanced communication also keeps everything progressing in a fluid process. The design-build process is adaptive and responsive in the field which means construction decisions can be made without change orders and sometimes without additional fees.
  7. Cost Savings: According to the Design-Build Institute of America, choosing the design-build delivery method means owners can save approximately 6% of total project costs. With fewer change orders and a faster delivery, the savings are impressive.

In short, our design-build delivery method offers peace of mind, cost-effective design, and construction and the ability to open for business more quickly than any other delivery method. Interested in learning more? Contact us today for more detailed information.

Huff Construction is excited to announce the groundbreaking of the Sutter Gould Tracy Care Center.

Sutter Gould Tracy Huff Construction

This project is a 46,000 square foot, two-story medical office shell with four acres of site improvements. The project will combine all of the existing Tracy locations into one convenient location and will accommodate up to 30 physicians. Upon completion, the patients of Sutter Gould Medical Foundation will have the convenience of accessing all of their Gould Medical Group providers at one central location.

According to Gary Zufelt, CEO of Sutter Gould Medical Foundation, “Constructing a new state-of-the-art medical office building in Tracy will give residents high-quality access and convenience as well as accommodate future community growth.”

This project was a part of our Huff Construction Design-Build delivery method which features weekly team meetings and leads to numerous benefits for our clients including shorter design time frames, design cost savings, minimal stress on the owner, and maximum cost control.
