Every industry evolves differently. The automotive industry is changing to electric-powered vehicles, and computers have moved to full-touch displays. Construction design build is the latest change occurring in the building industry. The model covers many inefficiencies. Here are some benefits.
Saving Money
Most of the time, a construction design build project is within five percent of its budget. The collaboration that goes into the project prevents many costly mistakes. Conflicts and inconsistencies identified before finalizing the drawings mean fewer changes once construction begins.
Scheduling Efficiency
Before the building begins, most conflicts are ironed out, meaning general contractors and developers don’t have to stop and sort out as many technical issues. The schedule is usually much shorter than other types of projects. This speed translates into more revenue for clients such as senior home care facilities and apartments. Each month their building sits unfinished costs them.
Exact Standard
Most structural components are prefabricated, especially if it’s a steel structure. It’s essential to get it right the first time. It is a costly mistake if the pieces arrive on-site and don’t fit. The construction design build model involves the input of the entire consulting team to ensure accuracy and fewer mistakes.
Developer Limited Liability
Developers own the drawings and handle hiring consultants. They are liable for overages or issues. When they share the responsibility with a team, subcontractors and general contractors are part of the drawing process, making them responsible for additional costs.
