How Do I Know I’m Getting
A Quality Design?
Design-Build is all about quality – quality
that comes from having credentials as well as creativity,
plus
the references – and buildings – to prove it.
In every state, and throughout the Miami Valley,
the Design-Build delivery system is credited with buildings
that have proven, from the time of occupancy and throughout
the decades that follow, that there is no
compromise in the quality of their design, or the materials
and workmanship that brought that design to
reality. One of the reasons this is so is that Design-Build
is one of the few, rare instances in business
where there are no adversarial relationships.
Everyone is on the same team, and has the same
goal: a great, timeless building that creates lasting pride,
growing value, and a positive, productive, pleasing work environment.
Protecting Owner
Interests
Ordinarily, an architect is only held responsible
for exercising “the degree of care than an average architect
would employ.” He or she does not
warrant a successful outcome. Contractors do
warrant that the result
of their work will be a successful project.
One of the primary reasons owners favor
design-build construction is that the designer
is held to a stricter
standard in a design-build context than when there is a separate
contract for design services.
