How a Defined Design Build Process Can Benefit Your Next Outdoor Enhancement Project

From baseball diamonds to backyard paradises, summer is a time of teamwork. A defined design-build process can deliver a winning landscape for your home, with architects and construction crews working together to achieve optimal results in the most efficient manner possible.

Unlike the traditional design-bid-build way of doing business, the landscaping design-build process offers a single contract for both architectural design and construction. This streamlines communication between the client and a single-source for production, while clearly laying out costs, timeline, and quality assurances.

Having one contractor accountable for all decisions means no more bidding periods and no calls for redesign. Property owners are freed from the hassle of toggling between the architect and the builder, instead becoming integral team members themselves. Because construction costs are known in advance, materials can be ordered before construction documents are finalized, which saves precious time. Budget planning is simplified, as all line items are rolled into the full project cost.

Perhaps best of all, because services are not split between multiple companies, the design-builder is motivated to excel at every stage of the project, ensuring explicit attention to detail.
