Staying Focused: Benefits of Specialists in Design-Build

Spring 2010

Management

Focus is the key to becoming the best at anything in life.

Years ago, W&O recognized the advantages of working with independent contractors and architects – each focused on their specialized role in the design-build process.

To create a dream team of the area’s leading industry professionals, W&O developed a design-build process that unified our preferred contractors and our architectural design providers. For each project, team members are carefully chosen to provide the specific skills needed.

Lower Overhead

W&O does not employ an in-house architect for a reason: to save you money. Since we don’t have to pay for their salaries and benefits – the entire design budget is applied only to efforts that directly improve the value of your investment.

Fixed Costs

Competitive bidding allows W&O to establish fixed up-front costs, remove ‘fat’ from the budget and lock down a commission scale that aligns with your budget and goals.

Value-Engineering

Exceeding your expectations is our collective goal. Throughout the project, W&O will collaborate with you and the architect to select the features, methods and materials that are ideal for your project. Our design-build partnership allows flexibility to explore better options without having to re-bid the entire project.
