A design-build general contractor can be valuable when building a new commercial property. These contractors combine the skills and expertise of an architect, engineer, and builder into one entity to help you find ways to build your project faster and cheaper than if each trade had performed their work independently. Here are some ways that working with a design-build general contractor can benefit your project:
Faster Completion
Design-build contractors can build a project in one step, reducing the time required to complete a project. Design-build allows many team members to work on your project simultaneously, lowering delays and decreasing costs.
Cost Savings
The design-build method of construction is a way to reduce cost, time, and complexity in the building process. A single entity handles the design and construction, so there is no need for multiple contractors or subcontractors. This approach allows you to streamline your project from beginning to end, saving you money in materials and labor costs.
Understand Construction Challenges
Design-build general contractors are more likely to anticipate problems and issues before they arise. While a general contractor might have experience working with the building code, they don’t necessarily have experience with design or construction. A design-build contractor will have spent years working in the field and understands how all components fit together. They will work with you to find solutions before they become problems that cost time and money.
