Why Design/Build?
|
|
Save Money:
- To control costs - as Design/Builders, Paul Risk Associates offers clients a guaranteed total project
cost - before the working design starts. This guarantees the client can afford the project and can arrange funding early in design development."Our PRA partners are great listeners and find a way to bring our corporate
visions to fruition - they are value-added participants in the process."
John G. Swanson
President
Willow Valley Retirement Communities - The best time to control project costs is in the pre-construction phase - so the project is designed with the budget it mind - not after a
full set of design documents has gone out for construction bids.
Maximize Value:
- Design/Build offers building owners maximum cost effectiveness during preconstruction, design, during construction, and for long term maintenance and operating efficiency by maximizing the value of each project dollar spent.
- With Design/Build, clients have more flexibility in decision making within an established budget framework.
Save Time:
- The Design/Build process shortens the overall time frame from start of design development to building occupancy.
For example, because a budget for the project is established up front, such services as sitework, foundation and steel contracts can be bid and awarded before the total design is complete.
"Thank you for the excellent experience we had
with PRA. From the first conceptual ideas, developing the building plans, to the final "punch list," our experience was very good. Thanks again for
the exceptional building experience and focus on customer service!"

Musser's Markets - Single Source Responsibility - With Design/Build, a single entity orchestrates all aspects of the project; from conceptual designs and permitting, to managing the architectural design, engineering and construction, through Certificate of Occupancy. The owner needs to make only one phone call to have questions about his/her project answered.
