COLLABORATION
At the beginning of a renovation project, a team of architects, designers, and construction professionals is assembled and led by a construction executive. It is important to note that the entire team is responsible for the project's success and accountable to the owner. In the event of design, budget, materials, or construction conflicts, every team member is held responsible and must work together to find a solution.
OBLIGATION
One entity is accountable for the entire project, from design to overall quality of work to cost and project schedule. All project costs are taken into consideration at the beginning of the process. As the design gets updated, the cost estimate is also adjusted simultaneously. This allows the owner to evaluate the cost frequently and decide about pursuing additional scope or rethinking a current solution.
CONTINUITY
At the outset of a project, a dedicated project executive is appointed to lead the design team throughout both the design phase and construction. This individual not only oversees the entire project but also acts as the primary liaison between the team and the owner. Their role is vital in facilitating seamless communication and ensuring that all parties work together efficiently toward a successful outcome.
CLARITY
All costs are completely transparent in the integrated design and construction delivery method. This means the owner can make informed decisions in real time during the design and construction phases. In contrast, other delivery methods often wait until the design phase is completed and construction is about to begin before disclosing the actual costs to the owner. By defining the budget early on, the integrated Design and construction delivery method enables critical decisions and agreements for the whole project through clear communication.
STREAMLINED
Maintaining or exceeding the construction schedule is crucial for the success of any project. The integrated design and construction delivery method examines hundreds of timelines. It provides opportunities for the owner to make significant design decisions, ask questions, offer real-time feedback, and provide proactive counseling. This can help achieve schedule goals without incurring additional costs and time delays due to change orders caused by design errors or gaps in plans and specifications, which are common in other delivery models.
EFFICIENCY
The integrated design and construction delivery model is focused on cost savings. This model is the preferred choice for more than 40% of all nonresidential construction projects worldwide. This method completes projects faster without unnecessary expenses, resulting in significant cost savings.
