The Design-Build model is simple: You sign one contract with one company—CentiMax—to manage both the design and the construction.
The designer, engineer, and construction manager all work under one roof, collaborating from the moment the pencil touches the paper.
1. Guaranteed Price and Cost Control
In the traditional method, the price is a guess until the bids arrive. In Design-Build, the team, which includes our in-house Quantity Surveyor, integrates cost estimates with the design development.
-
Early Budget Alignment: We align the design to your budget from Day One. If a feature (like a specific imported finish) risks a cost overrun, we identify value engineering solutions immediately, not months later.
-
Fewer Change Orders: Our designers understand construction realities, leading to accurate BQs and virtually eliminating costly design conflicts and change orders once construction starts.
2. Streamlined Speed and Project Delivery
Design-Build is inherently faster because the design and construction phases overlap. This is known as Fast-Tracking.
-
Concurrent Phases: While the architect finalizes the interior fittings (Phase 3), the construction team can already break ground on the foundation (Phase 1) and order structural steel (Phase 2).
-
Reduced Rework: Because the builder’s input is included in the design phase, we prevent costly, time-consuming errors before they are built, shortening your overall timeline by up to $15-20\%$.
3. Single Point of Responsibility
This is the greatest advantage for a high-end client.
-
One Contract, One Handshake: You have one person and one company responsible for the entire project outcome. If the roof leaks, the floor cracks, or the timeline is missed, CentiMax takes full accountability.
-
Simplified Communication: Instead of managing weekly meetings with an architect, QS, engineer, and contractor, you communicate with a single CentiMax Project Manager who coordinates the entire integrated team.
The CentiMax Advantage: Design-Build is Risk Mitigation
The traditional process places the majority of the risk—of cost overruns, delays, and disputes—squarely on you, the client.
By choosing CentiMax’s Design-Build model, you are effectively transferring that risk to us. We assume the responsibility for delivering the project on budget and on schedule, transforming a complex, high-stakes venture into a predictable, transparent, and seamless experience.
Don’t risk your investment on the fragmented traditional model. Contact Centimax today to explore how our integrated Design-Build process can deliver your luxury home faster, cheaper, and with complete confidence.
