From the first ideas to the final occupancy, design-to-build processes ensure consistency and predictability in the project delivery. Not only are the physical structures being fine-tuned, but the entire process of producing and delivering them is also being fine-tuned by applying manufacturing principles and our experience as builders.
The design-to-build methodology encompasses the entire project lifecycle, from inception to completion and beyond. In contrast to the design-to-build contract, the design-to-build approach strengthens the ties between the design and building phases by supplying the necessary personnel, procedures, and equipment to bridge the gaps.
The design-to-build methodology ensures that all necessary expertise is accessible from the very beginning of a project throughout its lifetime. It promotes more personal investment in and command over visual appeal, functionality, and quality than a sequential method and is inherently more collaborative.
It does not matter what kind of contract mechanism is in place; design-to-build processes work for both simple and complicated projects. Design for manufacture and assembly (DFMA), a data-driven, faster workflow, quicker and more informed decision-making, higher quality implementation, and greater alignment with project goals are all benefits of these procedures.
Design integration proactively unites the design and construction processes into a unified framework to accomplish all of a project’s objectives. To ensure that teams are on the same page regarding the project’s goals and that data is used to make quick and effective choices, WHT teams up with V Construct to implement a VDC-driven digital process that prioritizes open communication and transparency.
DFMA improves construction predictability, speed, quality, and safety by fine-tuning design components or parts to make them easier to create and faster to assemble. This method of building design streamlines field assembly and maximizes offsite manufacture. Sure pods and Digital Building Components, two of WHT’s strategic partners, offer completed bathroom pods and bespoke, factory-built assemblies.
To achieve predictable results, design-to-build uses GPLA’s technical design resources, self-perform tasks, and prefabrication capabilities. The process encourages innovative thinking and creative problem-solving, which are necessary for tackling complicated and one-of-a-kind challenges.
With design-to-build, you can implement tactics like programmatic project development, which involves basing the project’s budget on the building’s essential functions and components. This way, you can prioritize meeting functional needs before anything else. Higher information is available at the outset, which helps projects utilizing this method attain higher accuracy and predictability by reducing unknowns.
Every step of a project’s workflow is guaranteed to be consistent with design-to-build. Integrating stakeholders early on allows for genuine collaboration and an improved experience from start to finish. Thanks to real-time transparency, efficient decision-making is possible at any stage of a project’s lifetime, enabling all stakeholders to have access to the same information.
We at WHT think that the best results come from integrating people, procedures, and technology. Cooperation allows us to maximize the results of design and construction, which in turn increases performance and predictability and encourages new ideas in design.
