Streamline Your Project with a Trusted Single-Source Solution

May 14th, 2021 | Newmarket, NH

You're ready to begin your construction project and need to choose the right team to bring your vision to life. With goals of staying on budget and meeting deadlines, you're likely exploring your options—and perhaps you've come across the term Design-Build but aren’t quite sure what it entails.

What is Design-Build?

Design-Build is a project delivery method where a single entity handles both the architectural/engineering design and the construction. Instead of hiring separate designers and contractors, clients engage one trusted firm to manage the entire process from concept to completion. This approach provides a unified flow of work, clear accountability, and reduced risk.

Benefits of the Design-Build Approach

  • Enhanced Communication: A Design-Build project encourages seamless collaboration between architects, contractors, and owners. With a single team working under one contract, communication is clearer, faster, and more transparent—helping prevent delays, misunderstandings, and cost overruns.
  • Smoother Process: Without competing priorities between the design and construction teams, the Design-Build approach fosters unity. The team works toward a common goal: delivering the highest-quality project for the client. This eliminates conflicting recommendations and creates a more fluid project management experience.
  • Faster Project Delivery: Because design and construction phases can overlap, Design-Build often results in faster completion timelines. At Jewett, we incorporate budget-conscious strategies into the early design phases, accelerating delivery while maintaining cost efficiency and quality.
