Design & Build
Axii design's extensive experience in the field of Architecture and Contracting helps us to provide a one stop solution to our clients for all their Design and Build needs. Our team of highly experienced professionals will take the complete ownership of the project right from the initial conceptualization stage to the final handover of the site. This brings in a lot of advantages to the clients as follows.
Design and Build contract provides a single source of responsibility. Coordination is often
a problem in Industrial projects. However in Design & Build the Architect/Contractor has
singular responsibility for both Construction & Design. This will enable quicker decisions
in tandem with the clients enabling a smooth and timely execution of the project rather
than involving multiple agencies.
The Architect/Contractor has singular responsibility for any defects in Construction &
Design . The owner can recover directly from the contractor for deficiencies in either
design or construction of the project. Therefore, the owner need not determine initially
whether a defect was caused by an error in design or construction. In a more traditional
construction contract, this issue must be resolved so that the owner can determine
whether the design professional or the contractor is at fault. It is the legal responsibility of
the Architect/Contractor for the design, construction, quality, structural soundness,
durability, suitability and satisfactory performance of the complete work.
Architect/Contractor bears any additional costs that may occur as a result of using
defective or inadequate plans prepared by his engineering team. Because the owner
warrants the sufficiency of the plans in a typical construction contract, he is liable for any
increased costs because of defective or inadequate plans. In a Design & Build contract,
the Architect/Contractor is responsible for design as well as construction and agrees to
meet the owner’s performance specifications rather than merely build the structure. Thus,
if the plans are inadequately designed, the contractor is then unable to look to the owner
for additional compensation.
In Design & Build contract ithe project can often be completed within a shorter period of
time than with the traditional three-party arrangement since the construction can begin
before the entire plans and specifications are completed. This time savings
results from designing the project in phases so that the contractor can begin
work on the initial phase of the project while the later phases are being designed. No
corresponding time savings occur in a three-party contractual arrangement because the
contractor often does not even bid, much less begin work, until the design professional
has finalized the plans.
Client does an overall lot of cost saving due to involvement of a single agency who take
the entire ownership
In addition, the Architect/Contractor control over design details allows them to use
familiar construction methods and processes in building the structure, with the result of
much more efficient construction. These savings ultimately benefit the owner.
At Axii, we believe that our combined experience, diversity and technology allow us
to bring your project the best services available and look forward to working with you in
the future.
