What is a design-build contractor?

This is a construction contractor that provides both the design and the build aspects of a construction process. On the design side of things, they help to come up with the architectural 3D plans for your build. They also seek out permit approvals for you. On the build side of the project, they bring together all the right subcontractors to carry out the various phases of the build-in line with the design plans. That is why they are called a design build contractor. They design and build.

How do I choose a design-build contractor?

If you need a design build contractor, you should go about choosing one in the same way that you would choose any other contractor really:

Check that they are licensed, insured and bonded.
Ask about their experience in design build Los Angeles projects.
Ask if they have handled projects similar to yours in the past.
Research online to see what their past clients have to say about their services.
Ask how they would carry out your project, what they would improve, and how long it will take.

The above queries will help you find out which contractor is most suitable to partner with.

Is design-build more expensive?

No, design build is not more expensive. It is actually cheaper compared to older models of construction. For one, design build reduces chances of making errors while translating design to construction. This means there are fewer construction mistakes to re-do during the project, hence less money lost to errors. Two, design build is faster because everything is done under one entity hence less bureaucracy. As a result, fewer man hours are used up on the design and construction process thereby lowering the cost of the project even more.

Do I need an architect or a contractor?

A design build firm or project can be steered by an architect or a contractor. Either is considered permissible for a design build to work. So feel free not to be troubled by who is running things. At Kofler Design Build Los Angeles, we have both at the helm of our organization. That means that you don’t get to compromise on either aspect.

Do contractors help with design?

Yes, contractors do help with design during a new build, remodel, home addition, etc. Their experience in construction allows them to add very useful insights that can go a long way in making a build stronger, more functional, cheaper, or even faster to complete. It is wise to have them contribute their ideas and this is made possible in a design-build setup.
