The
Design/Build
Concept
It's
a concept that works! And no wonder. With Trapper
Brown Corporation our clients have access to the
time and talent of many specialists. Yet they deal
exclusively with one resource: Trapper Brown
Corporation. And those specialists include
planners, designers, electrical, mechanical, civil
and environmental engineers, site location experts;
the full roster of required personnel working as a
single unit for Trapper Brown Corporation.
Advantages of Single Responsibility Early Knowledge of Costs ~ The Design/Build team, working closely with the client, accurately conceptualized the completed project at an early stage. Continuous and concurrent estimating during the development of design results in knowledge of firm overall cost far sooner than is traditionally possible. This process also permits making early decisions which have the greatest impact upon cost - in an informed, cost-based environment. Time
Savings ~ Design and construction are
telescoped, bidding periods and redesign time are
eliminated, and long delivery components are
identified and ordered early in the design process.
Therefore total design-construction time is
significantly reduced, which translates into
earlier utilization of the completed
facility. Dollar Savings ~ Design and construction personnel, working and communicating as a team, evaluate alternative materials and methods efficiently and accurately. From the outset of the project, both design and construction expertise are brought to bear upon all components of a project from site work through mechanical and electrical systems. Because cost evaluation is progressively fed back into the design process as it proceeds - not after design is complete - decisions affecting cost and design are continuously optimized. Because the contractor is responsible for both design and construction, cost over runs resulting from design error or faulty coordination are the responsibility of the contractor, not the owner. The owner pays only for scope changes which he initiates.
Our considerable expertise, which runs the gamut from feasibility studies to leasing newly built properties, is constantly upgraded. New technology, new ideas, improvements in methods and materials are targeted and integrated into our Design Build process. Our commitment to service is a success story built on a three-prong approach: Service through Teamwork, Timing, and Total Responsibility. For nearly half a century it has served us and our clients well. Therefore, at Trapper Brown Corporation we invite you to consider us a viable partner in your upcoming plans for new business construction. |
The
Design/Build approach to construction is an
outgrowth of modern management methods. Quality,
cost, and time are more closely controlled as the
building process is not fragmented by separating
design from construction. The Design/Builder is
encouraged to seek the best and most economical way
to build, consistent with the owner's objectives.
It permits earlier occupancy of a project and
allows for alternate ways to meet the
budget.
Design
Builder ~ The Design/Builder is selected
directly by the owner on the basis of such factors
as reputation, qualifications, past performance,
and prior association.
