When managing a renovation project, the traditional design-bid-build approach often feels like a game of telephone. A client hires an architect to draw the plans, and then they hire a general contractor to execute them. This is exactly why the design-build model has become popular.
A design-build company is a company that handles both the design and the construction of a construction or interior fit-out project. The client has one contract and one point of contact from start to finish.
While this business model brings clients immense convenience, there are several challenges companies tend to face in completing a project.
Finding skilled tradespeople is one of the hardest parts of running a construction business today. Specialized workers like professional tile-setters, plasterers, and painters are in high demand. This is true especially if you would like to hire a highly-skilled professional who can deliver perfect results. This shortage prolongs the project timeline due to difficult scheduling. More importantly, it drives up labor costs.
by homeguideDesigners love to pitch beautiful, high-end materials. And clients love to see a beautiful home. However, if those materials are too expensive to install, the project quickly goes over budget. Managing the balance between aesthetic and actual construction costs is a challenge.
Clients want their spaces finished yesterday. This is especially true for commercial clients, such as restaurants or retail stores. Commercial clients lose revenue every day the doors are closed. Traditional wet construction methods require days of waiting for plaster, paint, and grout to dry. These curing times slow down the handover process.
Managing multiple contractors on a single job site is a massive headache. For a standard bathroom remodel, a project manager has to coordinate drywallers, painters, and tilers. If one of them is delayed by just one day, it stalls every trade scheduled after them.
Modern clients are highly informed. They want premium, luxurious finishes that look like marble or natural stone. At the same time, they expect these surfaces to be low-maintenance, mold-free, and highly durable.
Word of mouth is a powerful tool in the building industry. Consistently great outcome will drive you more and more opportunities. For wet construction methods like tiling and painting, the result is highly dependent on the contractor’s practice. Achieving a flawless finish across multiple projects is incredibly difficult.
Rigid SPC panels directly address Design-Build companies’ pain points.
