Hiring one professional to guide the owner through the process of completing a project is what Design-Build is about.

The Project Manager

The process of Design-Build has been around for thousands of years. It is used in all types of construction, from large commercial projects to small residential jobs. The idea of having one company oversee the complete construction project takes the pressure of knowing who is accountable, off of the project owners. Design-Build is the process where a project owner hires one company to take their idea from the planning and designing stage, through to the completion of the job construction. The company hired by the owner for the Design-Build, works directly with the owner, guiding the process through all levels. By working with one company, the homeowner can address their thoughts, ideas, questions, responsibilities, and any concerns to one entity. One company is responsible for the complete process and is accountable to the owner for every aspect of the project.

Based on the meeting, and a review of the existing site, and structure in the case of a remodel they prepare an estimate of what the project will cost. they’ll also give a separate estimate for preparation of construction documents, including plans and specifications. Having the plans allows the contractor to specifically address the construction cost of the project including permits, fees, engineering (if required), and construction hard costs. They can then determine the actual cost of the project, and create an estimate of the cost to build the project. Upon approval of the proposal, they schedule the project from start to finish, defining the start and completion dates. Your contractor should manage all phases of the project, taking into consideration the desires and expectations of you the client, and the schedule of completion. Upon completion, they’ll review the project with the clients addressing all questions and concerns they may have.
