How to Choose the Right Design-Build Team

The design-build model is revolutionizing construction, delivering projects up to twice as fast as traditional methods and saving over 8% on total costs. However, these outcomes hinge on selecting a team with the right expertise and approach.

For over 24 years, Ausland has refined its integrated design-build model, prioritizing alignment and innovation. “Removing the silos between architects, engineers, and builders is key to achieving efficient and successful projects,” says Aaron Ausland, CEO of Ausland Group.

Ausland’s fully in-house team of architects, engineers, and builders collaborates daily, ensuring shorter timelines, precise budgeting, and tailored solutions for every client. This seamless process minimizes inefficiencies and delivers predictable, high-quality results.

Breaking Down the Silos

Traditional project delivery often suffers from communication gaps and misaligned goals. Design-build eliminates these issues by fostering collaboration from the outset. At Ausland, every decision is informed by both design intent and constructability, thanks to our integrated team structure. This approach consistently delivers efficient, innovative solutions while enhancing client satisfaction.

What to Look for in a Design-Build Team

When evaluating a design-build team, consider these key factors:
• Collaboration History: Long-standing partnerships ensure consistency and coordination.
• Organizational Integration: Fully integrated teams improve accountability and efficiency.
• Specialization: Extensive design-build experience and a strong portfolio are must-haves.
• Innovation: Teams that leverage technology like BIM and lean practices save time and costs.
• Problem-Solving: A proactive, solutions-focused approach is essential for smooth delivery.

Why Ausland Stands Out

Ausland’s commitment to integration and innovation sets us apart. “Integration isn’t just a process; it’s a mindset,” says Aaron Ausland. “It’s about leveraging expertise across disciplines to create solutions that are efficient, innovative, and built to last.”
If you’re considering a design-build team, choose one that combines collaboration, precision, and expertise. Let Ausland Group bring your vision to life.
