Home About Accord Design-Build
One of the many things that differentiates Accord Architecture Company is our experience with a project design and delivery method called Design-Build. Design-Build is a very different approach to project design and construction. It is very fast paced and it involves significantly more people than the traditional design, bid, and build process. It also requires the designer’s sensitivity to many more aspects of the overall project delivery process.
In Design-Build all significant stakeholders from clients, their staff, to specialty consultants and the primary builder are included in design meetings. Input is welcomed from all these sources. Early conceptualization activities include concerns and ideas about alternate structural possibilities, environmental systems, scheduling and phasing, and even the physical constraints of existing facilities.
While all of this input creates an added burden for Accord, it also creates a number of opportunities. Teaming with Henkel Construction Company, Accord designers offer the client significant advantages over traditional project delivery systems:
- Design-Build clients manage their costs during design instead of reacting after bid day.
- Design-Build projects are significantly less expensive.
- Complicated phasing is worked out prior to construction, thereby minimizing interruptions.
- Project quality actually increases.
- Projects are delivered up to a third faster because building can start before final designs are completed.
Simply put, Design-Build is the most efficient, highest quality, and least expensive way to deliver a new project. With over twenty years of Design-Build experience Accord Architecture Company is the place to call for Design-Build services.
