Custom home building favors the design-build delivery method because each facet of a project is unique. There is no prescription or template to complete a custom home build. A successful project must rely on the collaborative experiences of both the designer and the builder.

The design-build process begins when a client engages a design-build firm, such as JT Builders, to develop their project. The design-build professional will manage the design phase of the project in much the same way that it will manage the construction phase—controlling cost and schedule—by partnering with the most capable design professionals and maintaining the progress of the design development. The design-build process melds the client, design professionals, and builders into a cohesive team that collaborates throughout the duration of the project to meet the intentions, specifications, and vision of the client.

A large part of the design-build process is setting realistic expectations for timelines, costs, and what the finished product will be. We at JT Builders prefer the design-build delivery method over the design-bid-build delivery method because we can provide upfront knowledge of constructability and provide insight into current market pricing associated with each design decision. This enables the design professionals to create a more feasible design program for the client and avoid design elements that do not add value or unnecessary costs.

The design-build process favors sustainable building applications. A conscious design-build team will incorporate the best building practices that conserve energy usage and can save the homeowner money year-round. According to the EPA, homes that are properly insulated and sealed air-tight save an average of 15% on heating and cooling during the house’s lifetime.

When it comes to the budget piece of the design-build, JT Builders will prioritize the client’s best interest. We will offer ideas to the client where they may be able to save money. We use hands-on experience to point out what is and what is not necessary during a project, thus helping to keep within the client’s budget.

Customization is key in the design-build process because it does not put a limit on what is possible. Because JT Builders has decades of construction experience, we can make your dreams come true. Our design-build program, while collaborating with the area’s top architects, engineers, and consultants, is first-class. We believe in maximizing value for our clients and creating the custom home of your dreams. Contact us today for a free site consultation.
