WHY DESIGN BUILD?

The Design-Build Institute of America (DBIA) has identified three significant advantages to design-build over traditional methods:

Single Source of Responsibility

The major advantage of design-build is our ability to provide you with a single source of responsibility for all aspects of your project. You will have a single accountable company – no excuses and no finger pointing, everybody is on the same team and you have an HL Design Build, LLC professional assigned specifically to your project. By building a collaborative team that includes the consultants, architects, interior designers, craftsmen, subcontractors, suppliers, as well as you the client, the design-builder can ensure the owner's goals are met.

Save Time

As a fully integrated team we significantly reduce the amount of time from the inception of your project to its completion. Teamwork reduces rework and redesign. Fast-tracking allows us to overlap design and construction stages by streamlining long lead time purchases and compressing bidding times. The chance for things to fall through the cracks is greatly diminished.

The design-build method is highly adaptive and responsive in the field. Big decisions can be revisited during construction without contentious change orders or additional processing fees. As a design-build firm we are involved from start to finish, which makes us inherently more efficient and effective.

Save Money

Eighty percent of the cost of a project is driven by subcontractors and suppliers. In traditional project delivery, they do not get involved until plans and permits are complete. By then it is too late, or very costly, to incorporate any cost savings ideas they could offer. As a part of the design-build team, this input is provided throughout the project and can be incorporated beginning with design at no additional cost to the project.

Single Source of Responsibility + Save Time + Save Money

These simple but fundamental differences allow you to deal with one company while you save money and time. Design-Build transforms the relationship between designers and builders into a collaborative alliance which fosters craftsmanship, teamwork with accountability and results in highly satisfied clients.
