The food service industry is constantly changing. Whether it’s to keep up with current trends or to meet a shift in demands, you will likely need to renovate your space. Nothing showcased the ongoing changes in the industry more than the COVID-19 pandemic. During a time when multiple businesses were forced to close their doors, many restaurants pivoted by upgrading their buildings for curbside services.

When it’s time to consider a renovation or a brand-new restaurant project, design-build construction agencies can provide the necessary measures to ensure your project is completed on schedule and within budget. The Maryville commercial construction experts at Leon Williams Contractors are design-build professionals while also having 30-plus years of experience in the food service construction industry.

There are multiple ways the design-build model can assist in your restaurant project.

• Reduced project delivery time: One of the major goals of the design-build model is to reduce the time needed to complete a project. With this method, all stakeholders are involved from the very beginning of the project. This allows the team to be proactive in their planning and leads to fewer changes and claims. Any potential problems can be addressed early in the project to allow for better collaboration. Decisions can be revisited at later stages of the projects without added delays.
• Accountability: With the design-build model, both the design and construction function come together within a single team. This prevents the need of having contractual obligations for the designers and builders individually. The design-build team is accountable for the entire project. Because of this, there is a single stream of accountability in addition to a streamlined means of communication. If there is a problem with your new patio seating area, you know who to contact.
• Reliable Teamwork: One of the best aspects of the design-build model is collaboration and teamwork. With the design-build team and owner working collaboratively on the project, everyone is working toward a common goal – finishing the project on time and on budget. If a problem arises, the design-build team must work to solve the problem because the entity as a whole is accountable. This model empowers the team to work in lockstep with one another.
