+ What is design-bid-build and design+build?
Design-Bid-Build is a delivery method of service where the client hires a consultant, in this case a designer to complete the required documentation and drawings for construction. This is followed by tendering bids from general contractors to determine the lowest price and best fit for the documented scope of work.
Design-Build is another delivery method that offers a turn-key solution where the entire project, design+build is all done in house and all responsibilities are delegated to the sole Design-Builder.
At Amaba Design, we take a hybrid approach to Design-Bid-Build and Design+Build to offer better value and more flexibility in servicing our clients.
+ WHAT IS THE ADVANTAGE OF YOUR DELIVERY METHOD?
With our hybrid approach to Design-Bid-Build and Design+Build, the client can choose to be more involved in the process and can decide on the method of construction. It's also a more flexible and budget-friendly option for homeowners.
We’re happy to initiate the construction bidding process with builders who we recommend and trust. The advantage of this method is that we work directly with our partnered contractor and have their valuable input from day 1 until the completion of the project. This makes for a seamless design + build with less disruption to the timeline and less risk during construction as we work side-by-side with the builder. We aim to create transparency in the field by acting as your design advocate and liaison between service providers, suppliers, and contractors.
