RichArt - Design/Build
Design/Build is a
concept that combines the functions of designing and
building a construction project. This process has
a long history of success in the commercial and
industrial construction markets. Design/Build
requires much greater design, management and sched-uling
efforts but creates even greater efficiencies.
RichArt adopted these concepts years ago and has applied
them to all types of pro-jects. Our clients like
the savings and great value realized and we like the
customer satisfaction and smiles.
While we are very willing
and pleased to work with clients who already have their
plans and designs completed, we like the extra value of
combining the design and construction planning
process.
A little background...
Designers/architects
tend to create designs that emphasize beauty, form and
function. However they often do not have a full
appreciation of the complexity and cost increases that
result from the details they specify. The builder
is more pragmatic and seeks to simplify, eliminate the
unnecessary, reduce construction time, material usage
and other extra costs. Both have valid points of
view. By blending the thoughts of both designer
and builder at the same time a project can reach final
design faster and can then be built with less conflict,
confusion and costly change orders. By blending
the positive aspects of each we create a well thought
out attractive design that is beautiful, practical,
functional and packed with value. It is this
creased value that makes Design/Build so desirable.
