5 Reasons to Choose Design & Build

Building your dream home is a huge undertaking, which is why surrounding yourself with the right building team is essential. But with such a wide range of architects, designers, tradespeople and builders available to assist you, this is much easier said than done. 

One of the best ways to ensure a seamless, stress-free and timely build is to engage a company that specialises in both the design and build of custom homes. Design & build is a service that makes the building process smoother and far more streamlined.

Opting for a design & build service will see the same team work on your dream home concept to completion. This means you can sit back and relax knowing your project is being overseen by the experts to align with both your needs and budget. 

Keep reading to discover five reasons why we recommend choosing design & build.

1. Reduce the risk of a budget blowout 

For those wanting to build their dream home but worrying about achieving this within the limitations of their budget, worry no more! A company that specialises in both the design & build of custom homes can offer cost-effective design advice to ensure your vision can be achieved within budget. 

They can also provide an accurate quote for the project during the planning stages so that you aren’t hit with unexpected costs during construction. This will ultimately save you money in the long run and help you avoid a stressful budget blowout. 

2. Save time 

As well as saving you money, a design & build service will also save you time. Because your design & build team are the same, there won’t be any communication delays as you wait for the architect and construction parties to get back to each other. Instead, the project will be managed under the one roof, meaning the process can be carried out seamlessly.

This also means potential issues can be discovered earlier and workarounds can be devised on the spot, reducing the risk of extended timelines.

3. A single point of contact 

Working with a design & build company means a single point of contact throughout the entire building process. The one team will be by your side from concept to completion, streamlining the process and alleviating much of the stress that often arises for clients. 

Should you have changes or need to ask questions, you’ll know exactly who to go to at every stage of the process. This will also save you time as there’s no need to get hold of an array of different contractors.

4. High quality results

A high-quality builder is likely to surround themselves with a team who share a passion for delivery outstanding homes with expert craftsmanship. Many experienced design & build companies have long-standing relationships with highly-skilled local tradespeople who share their dedication to exceeding client expectations. This means you can rest assured that everyone is working towards to same goal of exceptional quality in your project.

5. Simplified process 

Regardless of whether you’re a first time homeowner or a building connoisseur, choosing to design & build your custom home makes for a streamlined and seamless building process. The design & build team will take the lead in your build, taking on the risk and liability so that you don’t have to.
