Collaborative Design

From initial sketch to final installation, Toronto Height Construction serves as a turnkey design-build contractor, eliminating the need for multiple contracts. We unify the entire process, working towards a cohesive vision and providing clients with a single point of contact throughout every phase of the project.

What is collaborative design construction?

Collaborative Design construction is a project delivery method in which a single entity, known as the design-build contractor, is responsible for both the design and construction phases of a project. This approach streamlines project management by unifying the roles of designer and builder, leading to several key benefits:

Single Point of Contact: The client has one primary point of contact for the entire project, simplifying communication and coordination.
Integrated Team: The design and construction teams work together from the project’s inception, fostering collaboration and reducing the potential for misunderstandings and conflicts.
Efficiency: This method often accelerates the project timeline since design and construction can overlap, leading to faster completion times.
Cost Control: With the design and construction handled by the same entity, there is better alignment of the project budget with the design goals, reducing the risk of cost overruns.
Risk Management: The design-build contractor assumes the risks associated with design errors, construction defects, and schedule delays, providing greater accountability and reducing the client’s exposure to these risks.

Collaborative Design vs Traditional Delivery

Why choose a traditional multi-contractor delivery model over a design-build contractor? The traditional “design-bid-build” approach, once more common, often led to complex relationships and conflicting interests. In this system, each construction task was bid out separately, theoretically saving costs. However, this fragmented approach frequently resulted in miscommunication and complications, ultimately increasing expenses rather than reducing them. As a result, design-build contractors have gained popularity in recent decades, now representing nearly half of all new builds, due to their streamlined process and integrated approach that minimizes these issues.

Saving yourself time, money, and mistakes with design build commercial contractor.

Choosing a design-build contractor offers more than just streamlined project management. This approach provides substantial cost savings and shorter timelines, as efficiencies are better realized with a single, dedicated team managing all project phases. Additionally, design-build mitigates risk by addressing issues at their source. In the traditional model, errors by one subcontractor can trigger a chain reaction of costly delays for others. In contrast, our design-build model tackles challenges proactively, ensuring a smoother process that stays on schedule and within budget.
