NEW HOME CONSTRUCTION
The traditional construction services begin when an owner seeks out an architect or designer to draw up plans to design a building, home, or addition. Once these plans are completed, the owner then seeks bids from multiple contractors to build the structure as drawn. Once awarded, the chosen contractor constructs the building or project. This is known as the Design – Bid – Build Method.This method works great until a discrepancy or problems arise between what is drawn and what can be constructed. The owner is forced to act as a middleman to deal with any design errors, missing details, or construction changes between what is drawn and what can be built. This separation between the design team and the construction team can force the project to be delayed and costs to rise due excess change orders.
Stony Creek Construction offers a different approach to new home construction; the Design – Build Method. In this popular construction method the owner no longer needs to act as a mediator between separate contracts. The Design – Build Contractor is selected from the start to handle the entire project beginning with the design and ending with the finished project.
In this way, the builder can give critical feedback during the design stage such as: projected budgets, future construction limitations, or potential costly design issues. During the construction phase, the design consultant continues to help in the field due to a vested interest with the project.This seamless approach to collaborative building works to keep costs from growing and the project completion to stay on schedule.
