Benefits of Design Build:
Since 1975, VIP Structures has led the marketplace in developing design-build services in Central New York. So, what is design-build? It is a building delivery system that is used to minimize an owner’s project risk and trims the delivery schedule by overlapping the project’s design and construction phases.
In a traditional “design-bid-build” approach, the owner commissions an architect or engineer to prepare drawings and specifications, and separately selects a construction contractor or construction manager either by negotiation or competitive bid. This approach has long been the norm, so much so that VIP was considered a pioneer in design-build when the company was founded 35 years ago. That’s when VIP chose to put the best elements of architecture, construction, real estate development and project management services to work to meet the facility needs of our clients.
Design-build has now moved to the forefront of the construction industry. The principal customer benefits of design-build are:
- Simplified communication between owner and builder
- Increased operating efficiencies
- Shortened construction schedules
- Savings in time and cost
VIP uses design-build to deliver projects at a faster pace, at or below budget.
VIP Structures has successfully designed and built over 15 million square feet of space in a dozen markets; and welcomes the opportunity of accepting complete responsibility for all aspects of your facility design and construction project.
