When you begin discussions of planning a new custom home or major remodel, an early decision must be made on how the project will come to fruition. It was always traditionally known, you follow a sequential model known as Design-Bid-Build. Clients work with an architect to design the project and then find a builder to complete it. While this approach works, each professional is responsible for their part of the project, and it leaves the client with much more responsibility. Often resulting in gaps in communication, budget alignment, and accountability.
Design + Build brings both design and construction under one roof, offering a more integrated, efficient, and collaborative process from initial conception to completion.
Here’s an up close look at our Riemco Design + Build approach.
One Team One Process
Riemco has been delivering projects through the Design + Build model for decades. Over time, we continue to perfect the approach, but at the base of it all is building relationships with our clients from our first initial interaction.
Design + Build works uniformly; design and construction are integrated from day one. The same team that develops the vision is also responsible for building the project. This alone creates a fundamentally different experience. Your budget is established early on in design, real-time collaboration amongst the team, designers, estimators, drafters, and the build team working in tandem. Streamlined communication for clients creates greater accountability. One firm owns the outcome and knows your project through completion, ensuring continuity.
A More Connected Way to Build
At Riemco Design + Build, our process is built around a good client experience and collaboration from the very beginning. Some clients come to us with an established relationship with an outside architect, and we welcome that too. We foster a strong partnership with the architect to provide the advantages of the Design + Build approach for clients the same way.
