There are three distinct advantages to using a design-build firm such as TurnKey Associates?One of the most important advantages to people wanting to build is time savings. A superior design-build firm can save a project weeks or months over a typical project that must go through a separate design-bid-build phase.
The savings comes from the elimination of two separate procurement processes, one for design and one for construction. Other savings come from early contractor involvement that enables construction engineering considerations to be included into the design stage and enhance the reliability of construction plans. A design-build firm can fast-track design and construction portions of the project by overlapping the design and construction phases.
A second savings realized from using a firm like TurnKey Associates is the cost savings. The efficiencies come from communication and integrating design, construction engineering and construction members throughout the project. The design-builder reduces construction engineering and inspection costs to the client.
They receive the bids for the client and let the client influence the project cost. There are fewer change orders or extra work orders in design-build because of better communication.
The result is more complete construction data and elimination of design errors and omissions. This will also reduce the potential for claims and litigation after a project is completed as issues are resolved by the design-build team during the construction process.
The third advantage of using a design-build firm is improved quality assurance. There is a greater focus on quality control because of continuous involvement by the design team throughout the project development and the construction itself.
TurnKey Associates offers these advantages and more. We will save you money, save you time and build you a high quality project, but we will also do it with you in mind. Customer satisfaction and relationships are important to us.
