Your Vision - Your Way

At Token Team Builders, we offer a flexibility when it comes to facilitating our client's projects with the option of design-assist-build, design-build, or design-bid-build project approach. 

Design – Assist – Build

Owner Pays Architect Directly

Design-assist-build is a collaborative process between our team, clients, and their architects to improve design details and construction processes. This approach leads to efficient and cost-effective project delivery.

PROS

 

  • Material and labor pricing is discovered during the Schematic Design and Cost Analysis process.

  • The owner may hire a different General Contractor.

  • The owner and General Contractor collaborate.

  • All of the pros of the Design + Build method with none of the cons.

CONS

​

  • The cost associated with consulting with the General Contractor; however this cost is usually minimal.

Design – Build

Owner pays GC for Design, GC pays Architect

Our design-build model combines design and construction services to provide an integrated approach for our clients. Our experienced team collaborates with clients throughout the entire project cycle, from planning and design to project completion.

PROS

 

  • All drawings/CD’s for the project are 100% completed.

  • Pricing can be developed throughout the drawing process, unlike the Design + Bid + Build method.

CONS

 

  • The Architect works for the General Contractor, not the owner.

  • The owner has to hire the original General Contractor even if issues arise in the relationship throughout the planning process.

Design – Bid – Build

Owner Pays Architect Directly 

The design-bid-build model allows clients to work with their architects to create a design and then send out bids to separate construction teams to complete the build phase. Our team at Token Team Builders can provide construction management services to clients during this process.

PROS

 

  • All construction documents for the project are 100% completed.

  • The owner can expect to receive three to four bids from different General Contractors. This gives the owner an opportunity to compare pricing and weigh options.

CONS

 

  • Project pricing may be higher than the budget.

  • There is no pricing input from the General Contractor throughout the planning process.

  • If the project exceeds the owner’s budget, the Architect has to re-draw the plans, losing time and money.
