The Benefits Of Property Refurbishment
Undertaking any home project can feel daunting, especially if you’ve never carried out any home improvements before. However, provided that
Design and build services combine and unify the design and construction team, giving clients a clear line of communication for the design and build process whilst also ensuring project schedules are followed seamlessly.
Without a design and build service, delivering a project can be a much more complicated process and balancing act as there’s a lot more to consider and manage, such as potential disputes between designers and contractors.
If you’re interested in the benefits of hiring a design and build firm to take on your construction project, we’re here to help.
Various benefits are associated with bespoke design and build services within the construction industry.
The benefits of opting for a bespoke design and build service include, but are not limited to:
The first benefit associated with opting for a design and build service is the project savings you stand to make during your refurbishment.
This largely comes down to the fact that design and build services eliminate the need for multiple companies to attempt to coordinate their services for one construction project. As such, there is less chance for rework as there won’t be disputes between designers and contractors over any design errors that could occur from hiring multiple companies.
Considering that a survey found that on average, ‘12% of a project’s value was lost to rework’, it’s essential to keep reworks to a minimum to maximise project savings, and hiring a bespoke design and build company is a great solution.
Additionally, clients tend to have a larger amount of control over the money they’re spending, as these companies often take on the responsibility of the design and build of your project for a pre-agreed price. This can significantly help in controlling costs.
As design and build firms take a more practical approach, and will also design whilst keeping construction costs in mind, this can also reduce the cost of your construction project.
One of the largest benefits associated with opting for a bespoke design and build service is the level of expertise that these companies can bring to your project.
In order to run and deliver successful construction projects, design and build businesses have to be experts in both the design and construction processes.
From years of experience in the construction industry to smart engineering to ensure the project is carried out smoothly and on time, many factors are important when it comes to choosing the right design and build service for your project.
Additionally, as there is a single point of contact for the client, there’s generally a lot more trust in the design and build firm’s expertise as the risk associated with the renovation project is carried by them.
Another benefit of opting for a bespoke design and build service for your project is the superior project management it can provide.
As a design and build service offers both design and construction experts within one team, whilst cutting out the need for a middleman, the result is usually seamless and superior project management when you find the right company.
Considering that a design and build firm unifies one team to work together collaboratively, then, this leaves less room for error and lessens the likelihood of unnecessary conflict between contractor and consultant. As a result, this promotes superior project management that you can trust.
Last, but by no means least, hiring a bespoke design and build team has the potential to reduce overall project delivery time.
When you consider that ‘35% of construction professionals’ time is spent on non-productive activities’, such as resolving conflicts, this can have a significant negative impact on your project delivery time.
As we’ve already established that hiring one team can reduce these disputes and conflicts, the project is much more likely to stay to schedule with a bespoke design and build team on board.
That said, for your project to run smoothly with your chosen design and build company, communication and understanding need to be upheld on both sides.
If issues do arise, they can be addressed and resolved more quickly and efficiently within the team, meaning that less time is wasted. As a result, your project is much more likely to be delivered on time.
Hopefully, this article has given you a better understanding of the benefits of design and build services and has shown you whether a design and build service is right for your construction project.
