Understanding Design-Build

At its core, design-build is a holistic approach that consolidates the entire construction process, seamlessly integrating architectural creativity, engineering precision, and practical execution.

BelVan Construction, as a qualified design-build contractor, stands at the forefront of this innovative construction approach. Unlike the conventional model, where the client engages separate entities for designing and building, design-build unifies these roles under a single contract.

This consolidation fosters a collaborative environment where architects, designers, engineers, suppliers, subcontractors, and the client work together from the project’s inception to its completion.

As we explore the intricacies of design-build, it becomes evident that this methodology is more than a construction service; it’s a dynamic philosophy that aligns every aspect of a project under a singular vision.

The Advantages Of Design-Build: A Win-Win Collaboration

The advantages of design-build services extend far beyond its innovative approach; they encapsulate a range of benefits that redefine the construction experience.

1. Expedited Schedule And Cost Savings

By uniting the design and construction phases, BelVan ensures a seamless transition from concept to completion, significantly reducing the overall project timeline.

The collaborative nature of design-build allows for concurrent workflows, meaning construction can commence as soon as the initial design stages are complete. This streamlined process not only saves time but also translates into cost savings, as the project moves swiftly without the delays often associated with traditional construction models.

2. Collaborative Relationship

In the conventional model, the owner interacts separately with architects, designers, and contractors.

Design-build breaks down these silos, fostering a collaborative relationship between the owner, designers, engineers, and builders from the project’s inception.

This collaborative synergy ensures that the project’s vision is shared, understood, and executed cohesively, leading to a more unified and integrated construction experience.

3. Maintaining Project Budgets

Unlike traditional methods, where the project cost becomes apparent only after the design is complete, design-build offers early knowledge of project costs during the initial stages.

This allows for proactive decision-making, enabling the team to make design adjustments if necessary to stay within the budget. The collaborative involvement of the builder during the design phase ensures that the project aligns with the defined budget, providing the owner with greater financial control and predictability.

BelVan’s Design-Build Process

Let’s navigate through the comprehensive design-build process, unveiling the meticulous steps taken from the initial concept to the blueprint stage.

Conceptual Planning

During this crucial phase, we delve into your budgetary expectations, timeline preferences, and overall project goals. By understanding your unique requirements, we can tailor a solution that aligns with your vision, ensuring no hidden surprises as we progress.

Preliminary Design & Estimating Phase

In the preliminary design stage, our collaborative team of architects, designers, and engineers starts shaping the initial concept into tangible floor plans. Simultaneously, our estimators begin the process of creating a construction cost estimate, establishing and agreeing upon budgets for different components of the project.

This phase ensures that your project remains on a solid financial foundation right from the start.

Detail Design & Engineering

Moving forward, the detailed design and engineering phase takes shape. The owner’s design team crafts intricate construction drawings required for permits and construction. Concurrently, our estimators collaborate with sub-trades and suppliers, ensuring competitive pricing for goods and services.

Permitting & Pre-Construction Planning

With construction drawings at 80% completion, we initiate a proactive approach to permitting and pre-construction logistics. This entails submitting permits and organizing pre-construction activities concurrently, minimizing downtime and accelerating the overall project timeline.

Our commitment to overlapping workflows ensures that your project progresses swiftly toward realization.

Construction

The pinnacle of the design-build process is the construction phase, where your vision begins to materialize. Since our project managers and construction teams have been involved since day one, they possess an intimate understanding of your objectives and the most effective means to turn them into reality.

This collaborative approach ensures that your project remains on schedule, within budget, and adheres to the highest standards of quality.
