With higher requirements for quality products with greater sustainability, the necessity of a high level of customer service has brought about a refining process. This refining process has raised the bar in this industry that JM Bogan Remodeling continually strives to achieve.
Our process of delivering the finished remodeling product to the owner/client has developed to meet the needs of our clients within this demanding, exciting, and fulfilling industry.
All of our work is performed in a complete “open book” transparent manner with emphasis on accountability. In this manner, the most discerning of clients will know that they have received the greatest possible value for their dollar spent.
TEAM BUILD
The residential building has evolved with the focus and emphasis on value and service to the client
One clear example of this is the fact that the “Team Build” approach has become widely accepted by industry professionals and clients alike as the preferred approach to best meeting the needs of the client as opposed to the “Traditional” approach.
Here is a look at how these processes are defined in practical terms:
Definition
TEAM BUILD
Design & construction are integrated.
TRADITIONAL
Design & construction are sequential & separate.
Roles
TEAM BUILD
Architect,builder, design professional, & owner work together as a team to solve design, construction & cost issues.
TRADITIONAL
Design professional leads as owner’s agent. Builder is excluded from design process & selected by bid after design is complete. Relationship between owner, architect, & builder often becomes adversarial.
Owner participation
TEAM BUILD
Owner is involved as appropriate throughout the process to make informed design & cost vs. quality decisions.
TRADITIONAL
Owner is involved only at prescribed milestones.
Timing
TEAM BUILD
Constructability review & cost estimating happen during design. Integrated decision making can shorten schedule.
TRADITIONAL
Constructability review & cost estimating happen after design is finished. Redesign is usually needed and lengthens schedule.
Cost & quality control
TEAM BUILD
Owner participates in realistic cost vs. quality decisions during design. Cost and quality are defined in the design.
TRADITIONAL
Owner makes decisions with incomplete information. Cost vs. quality tradeoffs are often not known until after bid.
In Team Build, the builder and architect or building designer work as a team with the owner/client right from the start. This team makes informed decisions the first time around without having to redesign the project. The traditional design and estimating process is sequential. Design decisions are often made with incomplete information on cost and constructability, which can lead to several redesigns before the client’s budget is finally met.
In essence the traditional process is old school and today is regarded by most industry professionals as risky and irresponsible. The team build process provides an integrated approach where the industry professionals, the architect, and the contractor can truly serve the client and meet the client’s expectations through concerted efforts. It is like a three lane highway where the client together with the design team professionals are all headed in the same direction with the destination clearly in view.
