Design Bid Build Vs Design-Build

What design-build offers?

Design-Build is a concept which brings together the contractor, architect and every other element of the construction process into one umbrella. Unlike in other construction methods, the clients only have contact with IN. Habitat Projects. In the traditional method of construction, the client has to coordinate with both the construction manager and the general contractor. This more often than not causes delays in construction, fallouts between the different contractors involved, increase in costs and delay in delivery.

Know Why?

Less Unit Cost

In the construction process, costs and budgets cannot be stone-set beforehand. There are various factors due to which the costs of a project may increase. But using the design-build concept, the costs are reduced by 6.1%. This is due to the meticulous planning that goes into the project and brining in every aspect of the architecture and construction process under one umbrella. This way, we have control over the costs and the chances of the project exceeding the budget are low.

Faster Construction Speed

The design and construction services are contracted between the owner and a single entity, i.e., IN. Habitat Projects

Faster Delivery Speed

As the costs and construction speed increases, the delivery speed of the project also increases. By eliminating the middlemen, and bringing in the entire process together, we eliminate the chance of going beyond the schedule. If there are any problems during the construction, IN. Habitat Projects takes care of it after consultation with the client.

Less Cost Growth

While taking up a project, the design-builder is accountable for the end results, the costs and the timeline. As the design-builder is already aware of the budget of the project, there is less chance of cost growth. The resources are allocated in a way to minimize costs.

Less Schedule Growth

The design-builder brings every factor of the construction and design into one umbrella, and hence, there is no back and forth between different entities. The entire process runs smoothly leading to very minimalistic growth in schedule. The project will move smoothly, with the given timelines.
