At Spacemakers, our preferred project delivery method is design-build. This preference is based on our 30 years of experience putting our clients first. The design-build approach delivers distinct value with excellent results due to the high level of collaboration between the client and the builder throughout the design process.
While we prefer the design-build approach, we always put our clients’ needs first and recognize there are alternative delivery methods that may better suit different clients and project types. The chart below details the differences between delivery methods. Please contact us to discuss the best delivery method for your project.
