Why Design-Build Is the Future of Construction in Colorado Springs
If you’re planning a construction project in Colorado Springs—whether it’s an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), a custom home, or a commercial renovation—you’ve probably heard of the term “design-build.” But what does it actually mean, and how does it compare to the traditional construction process?
On this episode of the Stream Home Construction Podcast, Licensed General Contractor Alex Kosley explains why design-build is transforming the way we build in Southern Colorado.
Design-Build vs. Traditional Construction
Traditionally, construction starts with hiring an architect to draw up your plans. Once that’s done, you find a contractor to bring the vision to life. But here’s the problem: the architect and contractor often work in silos, which can lead to miscommunications, delays, and budget overruns.
Design-build flips the script. With this method, your architect, designer, and contractor are all part of the same team from the beginning. This approach:
- Reduces surprises by factoring in real construction costs during the design phase.
- Speeds up timelines by overlapping design and construction phases.
- Improves communication with one point of contact—no more lost-in-translation moments.
- Increases accountability by having a single team responsible for the entire project.
Built for Colorado Springs Projects
Whether you’re building an Accessory Dwelling Unit in your backyard or launching a new commercial space downtown, the design-build model is ideal for projects in the Colorado Springs area. Local permitting, zoning, and site prep can be tricky—especially in older neighborhoods or mixed-use areas. A General Contractor like Stream Home Construction knows the ins and outs of local regulations and helps keep your project moving forward with fewer hiccups.
