How to Save Money on Your Next Project with a Design Build Company in Houston

According to recent data, home prices in Houston rose by 6.5% from the previous year, and that’s for all the good reasons. Texas has no state income tax, and the mild winters and rarely freezing temperatures along with the low cost of living make Houston a thriving real estate market. However, is construction that easy in Houston’s dynamic market range? Well, the answer is no it’s not. Real estate projects are some of the most complex and expensive investments that anyone can undertake. That’s why it’s essential to save as much money as you can with a design-build company. Wondering what a design-build is, how it works, and how can it help you save money in the long run? Here you go!

A Brief Overview

Remember those old days when you were making a home, or renovating your old space, and you had to buy tiles from one company, faucets from another, and fixtures from somewhere else. Well, gone are those days and the time, effort, and money you had to spend with them because now the design-build approach is there. Here, one firm is responsible for everything from start to end. The architect, contractor, or engineer is in charge of all the project phases, and they handle everything from conceptualization and planning to engineering, design, and construction management.

You don’t have to lift a finger because design-build contractors oversee all aspects of the final product, including mechanical systems, electrical plumbing, layouts, etc. So, in case something goes wrong, you have a single point of contact to get these issues resolved. In addition, the contractors following the design-build approach also provide a detailed Scope of Work (SOW), which outlines every aspect, including the materials, estimated cost, timeline, or any other relevant information.

How Can Design Build Construction Help to Save Money?

Instead of hiring multiple vendors or workers, when you hire a single team to oversee the entire project, you benefit from a more accurate scope and timeline. In addition to having a defined budget for the work, you also get the liberty to track expenses and maintain a comprehensive understanding of all the costs during the entire project.

Besides, when working with a design-build company, you don’t have to run to a new entity every time you have a problem. With a single source of accountability throughout your project, you can avoid cost-intensive change orders that often come from bouncing back and forth between engineering teams and design. A professional design-build firm has existing connections with subcontractors and industry professionals. So, while keeping all your construction needs under one roof, you also save the trouble of vetting and negotiating to complete the work needed for your project on time and within budget.

Feature Project: Piikani Fire Hall

New Build

Welcome back to another Feature Project! The SWMW Feature Project portfolio is a great opportunity for our team to showcase the work that we’ve done for our valued clients to date.

For this month’s piece, we’ll focus on our ongoing project for the Piikani Fire Hall in Brocket, Alberta.

This project is a great example of not only how important customer service is, but how we’re able to be flexible with our timelines to account for real life setbacks, like cold weather concerns and supply chain shortages.

In the following sections, we will discuss the project details, challenges, and solutions that our team encountered during the construction process.

About Southwest and Midwest Design & Construction

The team at Southwest and Midwest Design & Construction has over 40 years of experience with design-build in Calgary, as well as in our other regional locations - Medicine Hat, Lethbridge, Grande Prairie, and Inuvik NWT.

Because of our robust service offering decades of experience, we’re able to provide our clients with seamless project delivery methods, along with professional, complete building packages. This means that from conceptual and schematic designs to first dig, through to project completion – we’re the only contractor you’ll need for your project.

Project Details

Sector: Commercial Location: Brocket, Alberta Timeline: Project began in June 2022 and is scheduled for final completion in May 2023.

As the first fire hall facility in the community, the Piikani Fire Hall will be an 8000 sq. ft. pre-engineered insulated metal panel building that can effectively serve the community's needs, and that also has enough space to accommodate future expansion if need be.

The building's unique security requirements were also taken into consideration, with the use of specialty door hardware and key card access.

Overcoming Challenges

The construction of the Piikani Fire Hall was not without its challenges. Although the project was initially set to begin in 2021, cold weather concerns forced the project to be pushed back to avoid extra costs. Construction eventually began in June 2022 and was originally expected to be completed by the fall of the same year.

As well as delaying the project onset, cold weather also delayed work during project progress. Additionally, supply chain issues presented significant challenges for the project. Despite being prepared for supply chain disruptions, our team still had to face unexpected delays in the supply and delivery of steel building materials, which ultimately pushed back the construction schedule four months from the initial projected timeline.

While delays are never ideal, they can happen! Ultimately, it’s effective communication that eases the process. The SWMW team has maintained communication throughout, and we’ve built an excellent relationship with our client. It’s our top priority to ensure that the client remains informed and is ultimately happy with the resulting completed project.

Closing Remarks

When we reflect on this project, one key takeaway for us is the importance of maintaining excellent communication between all parties involved. As noted, the SWMW team ensured that the client remained informed throughout the construction process, which helped to foster a very positive relationship with the client even in the face of supply chain issues and cold weather concerns.

Another key takeaway is the need to be flexible and adaptable in the face of unexpected delays and challenges. Our ability to adjust timeline projections and work with the client to find solutions and communicate ultimately led to the successful completion of the project.

Through our commitment and perseverance, the SWMW team was able to overcome these challenges and successfully construct the Piikani Fire Hall to serve as the first official fire hall in the Brocket area!

Why Do Owners Prefer the Design-Build Contractors In Houston?

Have you ever questioned why so many Houston residents choose design-build firms for their home construction or renovation projects? Residents of Houston are aware that a well-planned, successfully completed project can make all the difference in creating their ideal home in a city where dreams come true. If you are interested in knowing why owners prefer collaborating with the best design-build company, let's explore this exciting concept together.

What Exactly Are Design-Build Contractors?

Let's first define design-build contractors to avoid confusion before delving into the factors that contribute to this preference. The distinction of a design-build team is that they provide both design and construction services under one roof. It indicates that you will work with just one team throughout the entire project.

The majority of Houston homeowners turn to them for the following reasons:

Streamlined Communication and Collaboration

Working with a design-build firm in Houston has many benefits. But one of the biggest is the smooth flow of information between the design and construction teams. Projects typically go more smoothly when everyone is on the same page from the initial stage. Homeowners may find this to be a time and money-saving option.

Cost Efficiency and Budget Management

Design-build contractors in Houston often provide a fixed-price contract. It means you know the total cost of your project upfront. You won't have to worry about unexpected budget overruns or hidden expenses, which can be a common concern in the traditional design-bid-build process.

However, whatever the city, teaming up with reputable builders who provide budget-friendly solutions can help you achieve your dream of homeownership without breaking the bank.

Efficient Timelines and Faster Project Completion

Another reason homeowners prefer design-build is the reduced construction timeline. Since the design and construction phases overlap, your project can be completed more swiftly compared to the sequential processes of traditional construction. This shorter timeline is especially valuable for those eager to enjoy their newly renovated or custom-built homes.

Innovative Design and Building Solutions

The design-build company ensures that your home is perfectly in line with your vision by combining creativity, knowledge, and functionality during the design process. Additionally, they frequently keep up with the most recent developments in the building industry and can provide creative solutions to typical design problems.

Simplified Decision-Making

You won't be caught in the middle of design and construction disputes if you work with a design-build company. As a result, it is simpler for homeowners to make decisions that are in line with their objectives and financial constraints.

Turn Your Vision Into Reality

Ultimately, homeowners choose design-build construction contractors because they offer a path to transform their dreams into reality. Whether it is a stunning renovation or a custom-built home, design-build contractors understand how to bring your vision to life.

When choosing the best design-build constructioncontractors in Houston, consider their experience, reputation, and portfolio. In Houston, Marwood Constructions stands out as a top choice, boasting a track record of excellence and a commitment to turning your vision into reality.

Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a process of creating a 3D model of a building that helps industrial architects, engineers, and design consultants plan, design, and operate buildings and infrastructure efficiently.

It helps in understanding the physical and functional characteristics.

Typically, the architects, engineers, contractors, vendors have a very tight timeline and budget, especially in industrial projects. BIM modeling has become one of the important tools for them to overcome these time and budget-related challenges. In industrial projects, architectural, structural, and MEP designs have to be coordinated. Additionally, BIM modeling helps in identifying the location and avoids clashes between disciplines.
