Design-Build Services for Medical Professionals

The medical industry is incredibly complex, with many moving parts and high demand for skilled teams. For many, the most efficient way to build a practice from scratch is through a design & build approach. But what exactly is the design and build approach? Design & build is a concept that combines architects' know-how with the construction expertise of a general contractor. The method saves in the long run because this close relationship creates fewer mistakes, saving time and, most importantly, your financial capital. 

It's not just the medical professionals who benefit from this method. Businesses can get their new brick-and-mortar location up and running quickly, with a great look and feel that reflects their brand.

The Contractors Plan: What to Expect During the Design Process

As a client, you can expect to spend some time at the beginning of the design process discussing and defining what your project will entail. This initial phase is crucial because it will help you understand the project's scope and how the team will complete it. Once the area is defined, you can expect the design process to be more linear. You may expect to spend most of your time in this phase, and the design process should be straightforward.

How Much Does Design to Build Cost

Several factors go into the cost of designing a building. Some of these costs include the size of the project, the complexity of the project, the number of materials needed, the quality of materials used, the amount of time required to complete the project, and the amount of time necessary to prepare the drawings.

Design-Build Services vs. Design Bid Build

With design bid build, the client hires a designer who brings on their team. After the designer has finished their job, the client will request bids from building firms. Design-build involves only hiring one company to handle everything. 

Design Build: There is less risk of issues arising with this project delivery method. Not only that but projects are often completed quicker because there are no delays, such as hiring and managing separate contractors, followed by a waiting period due to sifting through bids. Finally, the client will not have to be involved too much because only one company will handle the project.

Design Bid Build: Designers and builders are hired separately, which is why design bid build is typically the more expensive option. Stress and issues can arise with this project delivery method because of miscommunication between designers, their teams, builders, and subcontractors.
