Design and Build Services
Looking to work with a single, integrated team throughout your entire commercial construction or renovation project? Buildout Construction offers design-build services to clients in Greater Boston and throughout Massachusetts. We aim to wrap up your important project on time and within budget while exceeding your needs in both aesthetics and function.
What is Design-Build?
Design-build is a new-construction approach in which the project owner works with one entity (the design-build team) under a single contract to provide both design and build services. This highly efficient, “all-in-one” service model is gaining popularity among our clientele for a variety of reasons.
What are the Benefits of Design-Build?
-
Traditional design-bid-build construction projects typically bring together two companies with little or no experience working together. Disagreements and miscommunication are not uncommon, and they can set the project back. In contrast, a design-build firm like Buildout Construction provides two sets of experts—designers and builders—with experience working as a unified team. Our pros have had plenty of practice putting their heads together to produce outstanding results for our clients.
-
Our design-build services involve a single, cohesive project management team that’s responsible for executing your vision. Having one team that’s accountable typically means clearer communication, fewer problems/delays, and faster completion—33.5% faster than traditional construction projects on average.
Design-build projects can also provide serious cost savings since there’s no need to hire a separate design firm. Plus, the collaborative and transparent approach generally results in fewer change orders that can pile on extra costs.
-
When you hire Buildout Construction for a design-build project, we not only design your structure; we make it a reality. That means we have a vested interest in both aspects of the project. From the start, our team has a big-picture view of all the costs involved in completing your build, from materials and labor to testing and inspections. As a result, you’ll get a highly accurate price estimate that allows you to budget with confidence—with no unpleasant surprises later.
-
As the design-builder, Buildout Construction’s interest goes beyond meeting minimum design requirements. We integrate design, engineering, and construction into a single powerhouse team with a shared focus: producing outstanding workmanship that meets your performance needs and protects your best interests.
-
As the project owner, design-build means you can stay focused on running your business—instead of coordinating schedules, managing disparate contracts, and communicating with multiple points of contact.
“I always find it a pleasure to work with Buildout, with their can-do approach to every project, no matter how complex or refined the design and for the superior appearance of the completed projects. I have often brought them successfully to clients with projects that have tight budgets and schedules, and require care and attention to detail.”
