Team Build Approach

Here is a look at how these processes are defined in practical terms:

 

 

Team Build

Traditional

Definition

Design & construction are integrated.

Design & construction are sequential & separate.

Roles

Architect, remodeler, design professional, & owner work together as a team to solve design, construction & cost issues.

Design professional leads as owner's agent. Remodeler is excluded from design process & selected by bid after design is complete. Relationship between owner, architect, & remodeler often becomes adversarial.

Owner participation

Owner is involved as appropriate throughout the process to make informed design & cost vs. quality decisions.

Owner is involved only at prescribed milestones.

Timing

Constructability review & cost estimating happen during design.  Integrated decision making can shorten schedule.

Constructability review & cost estimating happen after design is finished.  Redesign is usually needed and lengthens schedule.

Cost & quality control

Owner participates in realistic cost vs. quality decisions during design. Cost and quality are defined in the design.

Owner makes decisions with incomplete information.  Cost vs. quality tradeoffs are often not known until after bid.
