CONSTRUMAKER General Contractors & Architects
Design-build construction method refers to hiring one company to handle both architectural design and construction. This approach eliminates conflicts between architects and contractors, making the entire process simpler and more enjoyable.
Using CONSTRUMAKER's design-build services, you can save an average of 50% in time and 23% in costs. CONSTRUMAKER has its own in-house architectural department, where our architects work closely with estimators to design your project in the most cost-effective way.
One of the biggest advantages of our proprietary ten-step design-build process is that you will get a budget cost estimate at the end of the preliminary design process which is accurate to within 5% of what your final construction costs will be. Our preliminary design costs a small fraction of what you would pay an architect to do a biddable set of plans and can usually be completed in just 4-8 weeks!
You've probably heard the construction horror stories of change orders; battles between the engineers, architects and contractors; and subcontractor performance issues. CONSTRUMAKER is a one-stop team. Delegate and be done. By engaging one team to guide you through concept to completion, you avoid the complexity and complications of having too many independent interests involved in your project. With CONSTRUMAKER, adversarial design and construction-related risks are eliminated!
If you're a private owner (non-government) and have yet to select an architect or a general contractor, then the design-build option may be your best choice. If commercial construction isn't in your wheelhouse of expertise, this will be your easiest option. Design-build is as close to delegate-and-be-done as one can achieve. If you are an experienced developer, contact us to learn how design-build can cut your construction timeline in half!
There are four ways CONSTRUMAKER goes above and beyond the 'regular' design-build approach.
This section explains that CONSTRUMAKER's design-build roots began in 1914, twelve years before its official founding. It highlights that founder Bill CONSTRUMAKER was a forerunner of the Design-Build method and that since the 1950s, licensed architects and contractors have been principals on the CONSTRUMAKER Design-Build team.
This column details CONSTRUMAKER's in-house architecture department and licensed professionals in architecture, engineering, and general construction. It emphasizes that not relying on outside firms speeds up the process. It also states that their architects design for construction (not just permitting), reducing information requests from the field and accelerating construction. CONSTRUMAKER also self-performs many trades to maintain fluidity, control costs, and uphold standards.
This section describes CONSTRUMAKER's use of the latest technology, including three-dimensional design, to identify and resolve issues early. It mentions a strict quality review process by a "fresh set of eyes" for every project. This proactive approach aims to eliminate general contractor-issued change orders on their design-build projects.
This column focuses on the customer experience, stating that clients have a single point of contact (CONSTRUMAKER) for their project. It highlights that customers avoid coordinating with multiple firms or dealing with blame. For questions or concerns, customers are directed to call their CONSTRUMAKER project manager.
