No, the design-build process is laid out to produce efficiencies where traditional construction methods lack. This maximizes the value a client receives throughout the entirety of the design and build construction process. By being a “Contractor-led” design-build firm, it makes SDB keenly equipped to provide the most accurate pricing and efficient construction practices. Efficiency in construction gets you back into your home sooner. 

The design-build process is a unifying method of construction that is led under a single point of contact, much like a general contractor. However, the design-build company offers much more by being a part of the design process of a project. This lends conscious decisions in the design of the project which will help align client goals.

Communication

Single point of contact. SDB communicates with all trades and disciplines required for construction; architectural, structural, civil, soils, City Officials, Carpenters, etc., so you don’t have to!

Faster Project Completion

With SDB’s experience, industry knowledge, unique design build process, and team approach your construction project will be on the fast track to completion. 

The design-build process is a streamlined construction method where architects and designers collaborate directly with Sustainable Design Build who will manage all the construction of your project. By acting as the single point of contact SDB will guide your project through three phases.
