An Understanding of Architectural Design / Build

The grand fireplace accentuates the cozy living room.           Architectural Design/Build is a method of project delivery that teams the Architect and the Builder to serve the Client by ensuring a quality design that is built on time and within budget. Service to the Client is the most important aspect of the entire process. The Builder is brought in early on the project to assist with detailed schedules and budgets as the process progresses. This gives Clients a realistic understanding of construction costs and provides budget guidelines within the parameters of their resources. The Architect’s role does not end with the completion of construction documents. The role shifts to one of Construction Administrator, ensuring that the Builder interprets the design elements appropriately and remains on schedule as the project progresses. The Design/Build team can often deliver a completed project faster than traditional independent design and construction methods. This often saves the Client money. Dennis E. Zirbel, Architect is willing to be teamed with Sierra Business Council’s Contractor of choice to accomplish the goals of this project.
