Design-Build is a construction project delivery system in which the design and construction aspects of a project are contracted with a single entity known as the Design-Builder. This method of running a project not only reduces the delivery schedule by overlapping the design phase and construction phase of a project, but also allows for reverse planning to design a project that falls within the confines of the client's budget.
Overview of Process.
The hallmark of design-build is that one organization is responsible for both design and construction of the project. Design-Build focuses on combining the design, permit and construction schedules in order to streamline the sometimes lengthy and overwhelming process for a home owner to coordinate the individual efforts of architects, engineers, and a building team.
As a Design-Builder, Comstock Residential Contracting, LLC successfully brings together design and construction professionals in a collaborative environment to complete the individual tasks of creating construction documents (working drawings and specifications), acquiring building and other permits, and construction of the project in the most cost- and time-efficient manner. Design revisions, project feedback, budgeting, construction issues, change orders and billing can all be routed through the design-build firm, providing a certain degree of control and flexibility to the owner and a continual refinement of the construction program to maximize owner satisfaction. |
