Have you heard of the design-build method? It’s different from the traditional method. With design-build, every partner and vendor on your project is involved from start to finish. We all - including you - collaborate and inform each other. That way, there are no surprises.

A restaurant analogy may be helpful. The design-build method is like ordering at a sandwich shop or a meat-and-three. You, the customer, walk down the line, guiding the employee behind the glass what to put on your sandwich or plate in real time. You and the employee are a team, “designing” your sandwich or crafting a delicious lunch. (i.e., If there’s not enough mustard, you simply ask for more mustard while your sandwich is being made.) The traditional method, though, is more like a sit-down restaurant. You place your order and wait. Once the food is brought, you then realize your mistake in ordering or that of the server. Your food is sent back, and the waiting-to-see-if-it’s-right starts again. Not to mention, each change to your order adds up in time and money.

For the design-build method, a single team manages the project from start to finish, constantly collaborating with vendors, partners and you - the client - to get things right.
