Traditionally, tackling a design-build project involves juggling multiple contractors, architects, and engineers. This often leads to miscommunication, delays, and ultimately, headaches. Our full-service design-build team eliminates that hassle with a single point of contact throughout the entire construction process, for streamlined communication and a smooth process from conception to completion.
Why Choose Us as Your Design and Build Contractor?
Unlike other design and build firms, we understand that all commercial construction projects are unique. That’s why we don’t use a one-size-fits-all approach. We recognize that constructing a dental office differs dramatically from building a veterinary practice, and are experienced at navigating local, state, and federal regulations to ensure your project is compliant.
As your design and build general contractor, we’ll seek out the most qualified architects, designers, and engineering firms that perfectly suited for the type of building or remodeling project you have in mind and coordinate trade services to complete the project on your desired timeline. This ensures you get a team with the expertise and experience required to bring your vision to life.
When you work with our design and build construction company, you have the benefit of early involvement with both the contractor and design team in various stages of the process. This open communication allows for decisions about real-time cost implications for different design choices, decreasing miscommunication, avoiding costly surprises, and getting an accurate price from the start. Our collaborative approach fosters informed decision-making, helping you strike the optimal balance between functionality, aesthetics, and budget.
The Advantages of Working with White Oak’s Design-Build Construction Team
Single Point of Contact
No more managing a rolodex of companies! We handle everything from design conception to construction completion, simplifying the design-build process and keeping you informed every step of the way.
With our comprehensive process, you have a single point of contact – a dedicated project manager who acts as your central hub for all communication and coordination. This eliminates the finger-pointing and frustration that can arise when information gets lost or misinterpreted by different parties.
Collaborative Team
Forget the hassles of hiring an architect or building designer! With White Oak owner, architect, contractor, interior designer, and engineer work together seamlessly as a single, unified design-build team, coordinated by your White Oak project manager. This ensures your interests are protected and made a priority. This team approach also allows for volume pricing and cost-effective savings throughout the project, as project design, material selections, and construction methods are considered from the beginning.
Reduced Change Orders
With clear communication and upfront planning, change orders are significantly reduced or eliminated. This means any potential issues or discrepancies are identified early on before they snowball into costly change orders that impact your project’s delivery method. This proactive approach ensures a smooth transition from design to construction, minimizing the need for disruptive and expensive mid-project modifications.
By involving you in the planning stages, we can ensure the design reflects your vision from the outset. This reduces the likelihood of needing to make changes later on simply because your needs or preferences weren't fully captured in the initial plans. Ultimately, our commitment to clear communication and upfront planning translates to a smoother, more cost-effective construction process, saving you not only money but also the time and frustration associated with last-minute changes.
Efficient Scheduling
By working together from the beginning, scheduling is more effective, minimizing delays and keeping your project on track. The design team and construction crew work hand-in-hand to develop a realistic and achievable timeline for project delivery. This master schedule considers not only the overall project duration but also the lead times for materials, permitting processes, and the availability of skilled labor.
This collaborative approach allows for proactive identification and mitigation of potential scheduling conflicts. Throughout the construction process, the project manager constantly monitors progress and keeps everyone informed of any adjustments needed to maintain the schedule. Regular communication allows for course corrections to be made quickly and efficiently, minimizing disruptions, and ensuring a smooth flow from one stage of construction to the next.
