What is Meant By Design-Build?

Simply put, design-build is a form of construction where one entity works under a single contract to provide the homeowner with all the necessary design and construction services to bring a new dream home to life. But isn’t that what all builders do? Not necessarily. Many builders use multiple entities in a process called design-build, which entails separate entities, separate contracts, and separate work performed by a wide array of individual craftsmen.

We Buck Trends in the Construction Industry.

While the design-bid-build method of construction projects has increased dramatically over the past 15 years, at J Wright Building Building Company, we prefer to use the tried-and-true design-build construction method. Why? Because that gives our home buyers one unified flow in the design and construction of their new home, one team they can count on, and a process that provides a pleasant experience for the project owner.

It All Begins with the Site Selection.

We can either build on your lot, or we can recommend land for you. Then we move into the design phase. That’s when you meet with the design-build team to review your needs and what functionality you want in your new home. As a Southern Living Custom Builder, you can take comfort in the fact that we possess the ability and the resources to bring your dream home to life. We had to pass a rigorous approval process to become a Southern Living Custom Builder and were hand-picked due to our extensive knowledge, pristine reputation, and client-centric focus.

The Design-Build Method Means A Smoother Building Process.

Once we know what you want to see in your new home, then we move into the design and quote review phase. That’s where we design your new home’s floor plan and elevation and provide you with a thorough quote to bring the vision to completion.

Step four is when we dive into the interior design of your new home. This is when you select materials, color palette, and other treatments with our interior design team. After that’s completed, we move into the specification review and create a complete build sheet that includes final plans, final quotes, and all specifications to bring your project to fruition.

Your New Southern Living Home is Now Just Months Away From Becoming A Reality

Once you have secured financing, we apply for all the necessary permits and approvals to build, go through final selections for appliances and lighting, and then begin construction. Just four to six months later, you’ll be ready to move into a gorgeous Southern Living home.

It’s just that easy, and the best reason to choose a design-build construction team like J WrightBuilding Company for your home project delivery. Instead of chasing down and keeping track of separate contracts and managing multiple project teams, we take all the guesswork and coordination out of your home construction project, and bring your home to life with one single contract, one project vision, one unified flow, and one project team.

You’ll be very satisfied that you chose us as your general contractor for your specific project. After all, we were 2016 Home Builder of the Year and winner of the Southern Living Corner Stone Award–because our focus is on you and your happiness in your new Southern Living Custom home.
