Your Vision, Our Compass
The Design-Build Process
Our philosophy is simple: contractor-led design yields superior outcomes. Here's why:
Cost Efficiency
When the contractor actively shapes the design, we can anticipate cost implications at every stage. This foresight prevents costly design changes later on. Without contractor involvement at the outset, projects often face unexpected expenses due to design misalignment.
Streamlined Communication
As the central point of contact, we maintain seamless communication between owners, drafters, engineers, building officials, subcontractors, and vendors. This cohesion minimizes delays, misunderstandings, and costly revisions.
Vision Alignment
By leading and actively participating in the design process, we ensure that the project aligns with your vision. We balance functionality, aesthetics, and budget constraints to effectively translate your vision to a tangible construction plan.
Comparison
In contrast, projects without contractor-led design often suffer from inefficiencies, budget overruns, and misaligned visions. At Fortitude Construction Group, we champion the contractor-led approach, delivering superior results while optimizing costs.
Traditional Contractual Relationship
In the traditional contractual model, the owner is responsible for overall project management and cost oversight, which can be burdensome and time-consuming.
Design-Build Contractual Relationship
The Design-Build contractual model streamlines communication and collaboration by integrating design and construction teams under a single contract. This results in faster project delivery and reduced risks associated with fragmented processes.
Traditional Cost Establishment
In the traditional procurement model, costs are determined only after the bidding phase, which poses challenges for cost planning and design guidance.
Design-Build Cost Establishment
In the Design-Build model, the budget informs every step of the process. This allows the cost of construction to be controlled from the outset.
