Designer-Led Design-Build
Design-build is the fastest growing project delivery method driven mainly by the owner because of shortened delivery times and single point responsibility for design and construction. In conventional design-build, the architect typically plays a subservient role to the contractor and design quality can suffer.
A better alternative is designer-led design-build.
Led by the Architect and subcontracted to the General Contractor, Designer-Led DesignBuild has the client’s goals in mind from the very beginning. Here are the advantages:
Everyone is on the same team
w|c studio works to build the most successful project and challenges are met with suggestions rather than finger pointing
Total accountability
There is one point of responsibility with w|c studio including design fees, material and labor costs, utilities, landscape and allowances.
Continuity
Nothing falls through the cracks, we are responsible for the entire project.
Architects that understand building
w|c studio has experience building.
Chaos is out
w|c studio takes the chaos out of building projects by being in control of the entire process.
Transparency
We want the client to understand the construction process. This helps to define the scope and budget early on and avoid price increases.
