The Design-Build Project Method
The design-build project method assembles one cohesive team to design and construct the entire home project.
The team is usually led by the construction contractor who is also the project manager and has full contractual responsibility for the design, procurement, and construction. This delivery method provides the best working relationships between the design and construction teams.
In the design-build method, the contractor is able to provide valuable insight into the design with regard to constructability, in addition to budgeting and scheduling. The contractor can also input cost-effective solutions and suggestions on the choice of materials.
Project Management is the Key

Plus Quality Management
Quality management is the job that needs to get the most attention. Quality management is accomplished by overseeing the work of the skilled tradesmen who produce the final product.
Quality control is the part of the job that can get overlooked in the pressure of meeting deadlines and budgets. Staying on schedule, within budget, is important, but is pointless if the quality is compromised. A good project manager will not let this happen.
