What is Design Build?

This is a method of construction where one construction company is responsible for both the design and building aspects of the project. This creates a convenient service because there is consistency in quality and communication.

Design-build construction reduces risks and provides better timeline management and quality control. Tall Builders proudly offers design-build services in Oahu for a hassle-free building process.

Architectural Design Build vs Design-Bid-Build

Design-bid-build delivery engages multiple vendors to handle the different phases. One company focuses solely on architectural design and planning, and once this is complete, the client will need to shop for a construction company to provide building services, and is responsible for vetting, hiring, and managing contractors. This is different from the design-build model that manages both design and construction.

Design-bid-build projects tend to take longer to complete because of the separate entities and the time needed for the bidding process. Additionally, there may be discrepancies in communication, coordination, and quality.
