You can choose to develop your plans and hope they fit your budget after the fact, or, you can go the design/build route. A design/build company is one that employs both designers and builders and forces them to play nice together. They are compelled to cooperate towards the ultimate goal of creating the most exceptional project for the dollar spent.Put another way, design/build is the alternative to hiring one company for the structural design, another for the interior design and yet another to interpret and build those plans. It is a process that encourages a seamless transition between design and construction by producing drawings that are informed by the realities of construction.Because we know that we are ultimately responsible for executing our proposals, we consider the ramifications from the first pen stroke. Design/build is a process of making where our understanding of fabrication and practice of design inform each other constantly. This includes concern for quality, beauty and function, but most importantly it strives toward something poetic and artistic.
