Why Design-Build?
Unlike the conventional bid-build model—where an architect designs, then bids are collected for construction—design-build unites the entire team from the start.
This means:
- One contract, one team, one streamlined experience
- Better cost control with real-time budget feedback during design
- Faster timelines with design, permitting, and construction happening in sync
- Seamless collaboration between architects, engineers, and builders
- A single point of accountability—only one hire, only one call
