- Advantages
REEF’s concept of Design/Build is based on the premise of a partnership formed between Customer and Builder, right from the beginning of the home building process. Continuity and consistency are a given when the Builder is involved in all aspects of custom home building: design, engineering, site planning and materials specifications, and ultimately the construction of the Customer’s home.
Working with the experts right from the beginning of the home building process virtually eliminates unnecessary surprises later in the process. This relationship creates a sense of team between Builder and Customer as they work together toward a common goal.
Design/Build breeds a certain synergy and trust unattainable in other more traditional methods of design and construction. We believe design/build makes the most sense, and most importantly translates into peace of mind for our Customers.
Streamlined Process
A Design/Build team manages the entire process from design, to planning and permitting, through scheduling and construction, and finally home delivery. This enables all phases of a project to be delivered on time, and on budget, every time.
Accountability
Since REEF takes responsibility for the design, we are fully accountable for all design intent. This naturally provides us with greater incentive to exercise the best possible quality control throughout the process.
Quality Control
As a Design/Build company we are thoroughly involved in the design and planning for your new home, and on-site during construction and beyond. This presence ensures compliance with plans and building specifications, codes and regulations, and guarantees quality workmanship at every stage of construction.
Time Savings & Flexibility
The Design/Build approach is a fluid, streamlined process which avoids the bottle-necks and delays that typically affect the traditional approach to custom building. Changes can be made during planning and construction without having to stop progress in order to confer with an “outside” design professional.
Cost Savings
As a full service Design/Build company we are able to provide professional design, engineering, and construction services at lower costs than hiring an individual Architect, Engineer, Environmental Consultant, Structural Engineer, and others. We have a team of experienced and talented professionals dedicated to designing, permitting, planning, and building quality homes for our Customers.
