Q: What is the difference between Design-Build and Design-Bid-Build?

A: Design-Bid-Build is when you hire an architect, a designer, and a builder separately. You acquire the design, then bid it out to contractors, then have the project built. Since none of the firms you hire have any interaction, it’s up to the home owner to project manage and coordinate between the three vendors.

Design-Build is when ONE firm handles everything—the blueprints, design, and construction. The different teams take a collaborative, synergistic approach to your project right from the start. This eliminates the unnecessary delays, costs, and change orders that hiring separate firms can produce.
