Design/Build
As Design Builder, Foursquare Builders plays an integral role in the architectural planning as well as following through with the actual construction. Foursquare Builders will act as your General Contractor, and will provide secondary contracts with design and engineering professionals. By utilizing our Design Build services, Foursquare Builders becomes involved during early planning phases of your project. This allows us to plan more realistic budgets and schedules during the initial stages. By choosing to work directly with Foursquare Builders in this capacity, we are able to save you time and money, and streamline communications.
Several key benefits of a Foursquare Design-Build are:
Enhanced communication:
Foursquare Builders goal is to, concurrently develop & weigh the design parameters of a project along with the budgetary goals, construction methodologies, and budget conditions, to insure the likelihood that a project can become reality. You will have greater access to the “team” working on project development as the project matures. This efficient methodology is a keystone to the success of the Design-Build model.
Accountability:
The Foursquare Design-Build process will provide a more integrated solution for the owner. As compared with the traditional model, which is very parcelized, you will find a more integrated solution reducing the “finger pointing” that is common in construction projects. You’ll be able to turn to Foursquare with any questions or concerns.
Single Source:
As the primary contracted entity, the Foursquare Design-Build process reduces the complexity of dealing with several consultants or contractors.
Design revisions, project feedback, budgeting, permitting, construction issues, change orders, and billing will all be routed through Foursquare Builders. This relationship allows for a continued refinement of the construction process which maximizes your value at the completion of the process.
Value-based project feedback:
The Foursquare design-build process, allows for a collaborative environment to determine what methods and materials will maximize your investment. One of the benefits of this value-based approach is the overages in budgets are typically related to owner driven changes whereas overages in design-bid-build tend to be the result of a budget disconnect to which many architect and other design professionals are prone.
