A Design/Build Firm is one that combines 2 very important elements of a construction project, and links them together for a consolidated approach to completing a custom project. This approach not only gives greater control to the parties involved, but is also very convenient when working through initial design phases and implementing construction budgets. A Design/Build Firm has a better grasp of the overall project flow as well, much like a singer/songwriter. When you wrote the lyrics, its much easier to remember them when singing the song.
