What is Design-Build Construction?

Design-build construction is a streamlined and collaborative approach that brings together architects, engineers, and builders within a single integrated team. At Claris Design⸱Build, this is more than a process; it’s our guiding philosophy shaping our approach. This method emphasizes open communication, boosts efficiency, and simplifies the construction process, working towards minimizing complexities, eliminating blame games, and ensuring alignment right from the outset.

  • Efficient Collaboration: Architects, engineers, and builders work seamlessly together as a unified team, fostering efficient cooperation.
  • Cost Efficiency: The design-build approach reduces unnecessary costs, optimizing the use of resources.
  • Single Point of Responsibility: Design-build consolidates project management, ensuring clarity and accountability throughout.
  • Better Integration: The design and construction phases are closely integrated, minimizing delays and errors.
  • Increased Innovation: Collaboration and creative problem-solving are encouraged, leading to innovative solutions.

The Claris Approach to Design-Build

1

Discovery

During the Discovery phase, we gather your inputs — your vision, goals, needs, and constraints. We ask the right questions and guide you through options, allowing you to collaborate with our design collaborative architects. Together, we’ll visualize your building through conceptual sketches.

2

Pre-Construction Workup

With conceptual sketches in hand, we move to the Pre-Construction Workup. Here, we investigate the options that surfaced in Discovery, weighing the pros and cons while keeping you fully informed about the impact on budget and timelines. Our open-book approach ensures you have control over your spending.

3

Confirmation & Contract

In this phase, we confirm decisions made during the Pre-Construction Workup, initiating contracts. We begin the process of value-engineering the entire project, from subcontractor procurement to planning timelines and materials. Our goal is to ensure efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

Construction

Housing architects, builders, and engineers under one roof, we achieve unparalleled efficiencies in both time and cost. Our design collaborative architects work seamlessly with our construction team, overcoming any challenges or alterations required to keep your project on track.
