The design-build method has quickly grown in popularity over recent years. According to Autodesk, 82% of surveyed construction owners plan to use design-build within the next five years. In the same report, it states, “increased state and local government backing have led to 43 states having full or largely permitted authorization to use the method during public agency projects.”

While the rest of the nation is catching up, the Maryville commercial construction experts at Leon Williams has been utilizing the design-build method for over 30 years. Dedicated to delivering your project on time and on budget, our experts understand the importance and benefits that using this method has for our clients.

Whether it’s the decreased number of changes or the reduced project delivery time, we are committed to using the design-build method to better serve you.

Here are three reasons why you should choose a design-build firm like Leon Williams Contractors.

Reduced Delivery Time

The project delivery schedule is one of the most important aspects for the project owner and the construction company. When a deadline is set, all parties want to stick to that timeline without any problems. When using the design-build method, processes are more streamlined due to the designer and contractor being a single entity. Because of this, teams can work on multiple aspects of the project at a time.

Collaboration

With a design-build firm, all the teams are combined under one-single contract. Because of this, everyone is working toward one single goal. This leads to clearer communication within the team and encourages teamwork while improving the overall quality of the project. With there being a single point of responsibility, everyone is responsible for the totality of the project. In addition, this also allows for easier adjustments to the project because communication is smoother when using the design-build method.

Early Project Involvement

Both reduced delivery time and collaboration are benefits of design-build projects because the method offers the opportunity for early involvement. Our design-build experts believe in getting involved early to ensure we identify any on-site construction issues that could place the budget or schedule at risk. With all teams being a part of the design-build team, we can effectively discuss potential measures to take to ensure the job is completed as smoothly as possible prior to construction.

We are only three months into 2023, so there is still plenty of time to partner with a design-build firm for your latest project. Give our experts a call at (865) 982-1734 or contact us online.
