Design Build Services In Miami, Florida

Design Build Services refer to a construction project delivery method where both the design and construction phases are managed by a single entity, often called a design-build firm. This approach streamlines the process and can lead to cost savings and faster project completion.

Some advantages include faster project completion, cost savings due to improved communication and collaboration, reduced risks, and a single point of responsibility for both design and construction aspects.

Design-build suits substantial residential and commercial projects: new custom homes, additions and second stories, whole-home renovations, and commercial build-outs, where one team carrying the design, the permit drawings and the construction avoids hand-off gaps. Elbaz Construction does not take on small repairs or infrastructure work such as roads or bridges.

Tell us about a change as early as possible. We assess the request first: a minor adjustment that does not touch the approved drawings is folded into the schedule, while a larger one goes back to our architects and designers for a revised plan. Before any revised work starts you see its effect on the budget and the timeline in writing.

If a change alters the permitted drawings, the building department has to approve an amended set of construction documents before that work is built (Florida Building Code, Section 107.4), so structural, layout and opening changes cost the least while the design is still on paper.

In Miami, the Design Build process typically involves the following stages: initial consultation, conceptual design, cost estimation, detailed design development, construction, and project completion. The design-build firm manages each step.
