Using A Company With In-House Design and Build Services
Design and build services are preferred over traditional construction contract methods, as they offer a unified and cohesive approach for clients. Instead of designers and contractors operating under separate contracts, the entire project is delivered under a single contract with designers and builders collaborating seamlessly.
There are numerous advantages to running any design and build fit-out through one contractor for the entire project lifecycle. Here, we examine what those are and how they benefit the client.
Enhanced coordination and collaboration
Having two contractors and separate teams can lead to miscommunication and unnecessary delays. It can also create conflicts between designers and contractors, putting the client in a difficult position trying to manage both parties. With an in-house design and build fit-out a single team handles both design and construction, leading to improved communication and coordination. This collaborative approach fosters an environment where problem-solving and teamwork are highly valued.
It’s more cost-efficient
A single design-build contract allows the team to establish and tightly control the budget from the outset. Early discussions can address cost constraints and find innovative solutions, often resulting in a pre-agreed price for both the design and build phases. The contractor assumes most of the risk, reducing financial exposure for the client. This approach minimises markups, reduces costly delays caused by miscommunication, and streamlines processes. However, the increased risk, assumed by the contractor, may be reflected in the price.
Faster Project Completion
Utilising one team with a single point of contact for any design and build office fit-out naturally accelerates the entire process. A project management team can quickly address problems, make decisions, and maintain oversight of the entire project. Enhanced coordination with subcontractors working on the same plan leads to faster project timelines and quicker completion.
Consistent quality
When a single team controls both design and construction, they can ensure that all work adheres to the specifications. Collaborative efforts and joint problem-solving contribute to the overall quality and efficiency of the project.
Customised fit-out solutions
An in-house team will, by necessity, be very familiar with a client’s overall goals and objectives which means they can also offer tailored solutions that match that vision. By taking time at the start of any build to understand what’s required, the design team can inform the construction team in far more precise terms and create highly specific results.
