While an outside observer might be tempted to think the construction industry is fairly simple, the material supply experts at The L. Suzio York Hill Companies in Meriden, CT, know there are many practices that can increase the effectiveness of a project. Chief among this is the integration of design and construction. But how does this integration improve your project outcomes? Here’s a brief look from the local experts.

Also referred to as “design-build project delivery,” design-integrated construction refers to a contract that combines the services of an architectural or engineering design expert with those of a construction team. These teams work together throughout the entire process — including the planning stages. This collaboration can yield several benefits for a construction project.

For example, by collaborating on a project, it becomes significantly easier for engineers and construction professionals to coordinate their expertise in regards to material supply and other important project concerns. This makes it easier to alter design plans when necessary to create a more efficient workflow or to find methods that reduce the cost of the project while still providing stellar results to the customer. 

By working together, construction contractors and design engineers are able to better communicate potential problems, challenges, or opportunities a project presents before actual construction work gets underway. By addressing these concerns in advance, contractors can increase productivity once on the job site, saving both time and money — perks that benefit the end customer as well.
