- A full-service design/build company brings the three main participants in a
project together as one team. The client, designer and builder share goals and expectations throughout the project so that the client’s desires are fully realized.
- A design/build company is accountable for aesthetics, realistic cost evaluation, project scheduling and
job-site management. All of these aspects are discussed and planned during the design phase of a project, minimizing unexpected surprises during construction.
- When a designer thinks like a builder concepts of both livability and buildability are considered in the design process. When a builder thinks like a designer the intent of the design is an integral part of all construction decisions made in the field.
- Design/build allows complete collaboration between the client and the production process. From the outset, the client is integrated into the entire process of creating / transforming his or her living space.
- The design/build process provides a clear channel for the
communication of design ideas and concepts from inception
to project completion. 
- Because a design/build company has a real-time grasp of construction costs, projects are designed to a client’s desired budget.
- When compared to typical architect + builder subcontracts, there are
inherent savings to the design/build approach. Architectural fees can range from 8% - 15% of construction costs. ADS design fees range from 3% - 6%. In addition, because a designer/builder is part of the construction team, during construction revisions can be made in real-time without the need to stop work, schedule a meeting and wait for revised drawings before resuming construction.
