Bon Appetit: How the design-build method creates teamwork during your restaurant project
The restaurant industry provides the perfect example of the importance of teamwork when delivering a product. From the cashier to the individuals cooking the food, each is working toward a common goal. That goal, of course, is creating a great customer experience by delivering them a meal that meets their expectations. If one member of the team fails at their job, it’s the entire restaurant that receives the blame.
When it comes to providing excellent results for a restaurant project, the same concepts apply to construction companies using the design-build delivery method. The design-build method places the designer and builder under a single contract from the beginning of the project. This method has become popular over the past decade because it provides several benefits including reduced project delivery time and fewer changes.
The biggest reason these benefits exist is because the design-build method creates real teamwork as the experts work toward the common goal of providing you with an excellent experience during your restaurant project.
Single Point of Responsibility
One of the reasons the design-build method creates unity within the team is because there is a single point of responsibility. With both the designer and builder working under the same contract, the project owner knows who to go to when an issue arises. Everyone is responsible for an error, and everyone is responsible for a job well done. There is no room for miscommunication or no communication within the team. This will naturally create an atmosphere of collaboration.
A Common End Goal
Similar to our restaurant analogy earlier, the design-build team is working toward a common goal because each team falls under the same contract. That goal is to deliver a final structure that meets or exceeds the owner’s expectations. In addition, each team is involved in the project from the beginning, which will create teamwork from the onset of the project. This teamwork will be carried on throughout the project, which will help eliminate multiple changes that could cause the project to get off schedule.
