We understand that constructing a building is an ambitious endeavour for our clients. We understand the process can sometimes seem daunting — especially after hearing horror stories from associates, friends and family.

We believe that the lowest cost building isn't the same as the best building the client can afford. The design-build method - a comprehensive process that includes planning, design, construction and other services necessary for organizing, executing and completing a building or other project -
saves our clients time, money and frustration.

BENEFITS OF THE DESIGN-BUILD METHOD

Colony Builders, Inc. - the designer-builder - works with you, the owner, to provide for architectural/engineering design and construction services under one roof. Design-build is also known as "design/construct" or "single-source responsibility."

The design-build concept encourages a collaborative relationship among participants. The essence of design-build is that one company acts as Designer, Engineer, Estimator and Builder. You as the owner set the budget at the beginning and the design-builder designs to fit that budget. Because the design-builder is the contractor first — and estimating is the design-builder's business — he can establish realistic budgets and avoid costly redesigns due to third-party interpretations.

Because we are with you from the conception and design phase, we are able to develop an intimate knowledge of your budgetary, functional, aesthetic and time requirements. By the time construction actually begins, we are working with first-hand knowledge of your requirements, not third-party interpretations. For you, the customer, that means greater efficiency, cooperation instead of conflict, a better product for your money and the most cost-effective design possible.
