Exploring the benefits of Design & Build
If you are thinking about relocating to a new office or refurbishing your existing space, the chances are you will be weighing up your options to choose the right procurement route for your timeframe and budget.
Whether you are already considering a Design & Build project or not at this stage, let us show you why it just might be the perfect solution for you.
Firstly, what is Design & Build?
Design & Build is a one-stop-shop procurement route to a complete fit out project. Whereas Detail & Build and Traditional procurement routes involve working with architects, project managers and construction teams from different companies, Design & Build projects are carried out by a single contractor. It is a turnkey solution that offers the convenience of having one point of contact and cost certainty of a fixed lump sum price.
How do you benefit?
You are always in control
By choosing to go down the Design & Build route, you’ll be eliminating the hassle of having to manage multiple teams. Your project will be managed by a single contractor from start to finish, meaning you will benefit from the simplicity of having one single point of contact. The controlled, consultative process we follow throughout your project will allow us to develop a close working relationship and ensure you remain firmly in the driver’s seat.
A fast-track route to exceptional quality
While Detail & Build or Traditional projects may take months to complete, Design & Build delivers the same creativity and high-quality finish in a fraction of the time. Our speed lies in the overlap between the design and build phases, as well as the skills and experience of our in-house teams and trusted network of suppliers – not cutting corners.
Creative design concepts
Design & Build may be a speedy, cost-effective fit out solution, but it doesn’t mean you have to compromise on creativity and design quality. Each of our design team has been hand-picked for their architectural approach. Using our clients’ stories as our main source of inspiration we are able to dream up imaginative and iconic design concepts that translate seamlessly into real world brand experiences.
Flexibility
We appreciate that you may wish to make changes to your designs as your space begins to take shape. The overlap between the design and build phases of your fit out allows for this. Our design team continues to collaborate with you throughout much of the build phase and will work closely with your project manager to manage change with minimal cost and time implications.
Low risk
You will be significantly lowering your risk by choosing to work with a single partner. As your single point of contact, it is our responsibility to resolve any issues between our in-house teams, eliminating the risk of disputes and costly delays.
