Frequently Asked Questions
How Does Design Build Differ from Traditional Approaches?
Design-build is a construction method in which the design and construction phases are integrated into a single contract. This is in contrast to the traditional approach, in which the design and construction phases are handled by separate entities.
What are the Benefits of Design Build?
There are several benefits to using the Design Build method, including:
- Single-source responsibility: With design build, Tectonic is responsible for both the design and construction of the project, which can simplify the project and make it easier to manage.
- Faster project delivery: The design and construction phases are integrated, which means they can be completed more quickly than traditional projects.
- Cost savings: The design build method can provide cost savings by reducing the need for independent design and construction contracts.
- Improved communication: The design build team is composed of experienced representatives from both the design and construction areas, which improves communication and streamlines the process.
- Increased flexibility: The design build method allows for greater flexibility during the construction process, as changes can be made more easily and quickly than with traditional methods.
How Long is the Design Planning Process?
The length of the design planning process can vary depending on the scope and complexity of the project as well as the availability and decisiveness of the client. In general, however, design-build projects typically involve a shorter design planning process than traditional design-bid-build projects. On average, it takes 3-6 months for a small remodel (i.e. bathroom, kitchen, master suite), 6-8 months for a whole home remodel, and 8-12 months for a new build.
How Long is the Build Process?
The length of the build process for a design build project can vary depending on the scope and complexity of the project and the preferences of the design build team and the client. In general, however, design-build projects tend to be completed more quickly than traditional design-bid-build projects because the design and construction phases are integrated. Typically, small remodels can take 2-6 months, medium remodels 6-8 months, and new builds 12-18 months.
What is the Cost?
We can’t give you an exact estimate on your project until we’ve worked through the first phases of the design. Unlike the traditional method, where you are given a quick back-of-the-napkin estimate, we want to give you a real budget based on your real project.
The best way to provide you with an accurate estimate is to draft conceptuals, provide you wit an initial budget, then have an honest conversation about your preferences so that we can make adjustments. From there, the design is solidified, and we can provide you with a final budget and schedule based on your complete design.
