Merging Design With Construction: Design / Build Yields Faster, Better, More Cost-Effective Results

3/25/2023

The design/build approach to building design and construction, led by Cordogan Clark, integrates designers and builders working together on the same team from the outset. This offers the following advantages:

1. Single Point of Responsibility: By working with a single firm that provides both design and construction services, clients have a single point of responsibility for the entire project. This means that any issues that arise during the project can be resolved more quickly and efficiently.

2. Cost Savings: The design/build approach often results in cost savings for clients. Because the same firm is responsible for both design and construction, they are better able to control costs and avoid cost overruns.

3. Faster Project Delivery: The design/build approach can also result in faster project delivery times. By having the same firm responsible for both design and construction, there is less need for communication between different contractors and subcontractors, which can slow down the process.

4. Improved Communication and Collaboration: With the design and construction teams working together from the beginning of the project, communication and collaboration are improved. This can lead to better design solutions and a more efficient construction process.

5. Interdisciplinary Expertise: Cordogan Clark has interdisciplinary expertise and deep experience in a wide variety of architectural types and construction methods. This means they can provide innovative solutions to design and construction challenges, resulting in a better end product for clients.
