Design/Build
Check out our design build process.
Bold Construction utilizes design-build as its project delivery system and has
design and construction professionals working as a single entitiy to reduce the
delivery schedule by overlapping the design phase and construction phases of a
project. Design-build focuses on combining the design, permit, and construction
schedules in order to streamline the traditional design-bid- build environment.
Design-build is an integrated delivery process that has been embraced by the
world’s great civilizations. In ancient Mesopotamia, the Code of Hammurabi (1800
BC) fixed absolute accountability upon master builders for both design and
construction. In the succeeding millennia, projects ranging from cathedrals to
cable-stayed bridges, from cloisters to corporate headquarters, have been
conceived and constructed using the paradigm of design-build.
Return to the time-honored approach of the Master Builder, where a single source
has absolute accountability for both design and construction. When the citizens of
classical Greece envisioned their great temples, public buildings and civil works,
master builders were engaged to both design and construct these monumental
structures. Master builders accepted full responsibility for integrating conceptual
design with functional performance. To assume anything less than complete
accountability for delivering a project was unthinkable. Throughout each massive
logistical undertaking, they commanded skilled craftsmen, procured time-tested
materials, and controlled every aspect of the project. A master builder with the
chief architect, engineer and builder molded into one. Enduring structures such as
the Parthenon and the Theatre of Dionysus are testimony to an age and a
process that are greatly admired, though the process was thought to be virtually
abandoned by modern designers and constructors.
Today, however, there is a resurgence of the master builder’s approach in the
new world. Informed owners have begun asking practitioners to take more than
just an artistic (and more than simply a means and methods) interest in their
facilities. Steeped in the work ethic exemplified by the ancient master builders,
today’s design-build process offers reassurance that the design and construction
industry can deliver comprehensive services. This valued assurance can only be
provided by a singular source.
Design-builders want full accountability for architecture, engineering and
construction. In fact, like the ancient Greek master builder, they insist on it. By
knowledgeably pursuing design quality, and by effectively controlling costs and
schedule, a design-builder makes certain that concept-to-completion is more than
idle discourse. It is a reality carved in stone.

Design-Build Process
Design Needs and Desires Assessment
This is the information gathering and analyzing phase. It encompasses all work
necessary prior to actually designing your home or remodeling project. During
this time, we formulate a detailed "program" which defines your needs and
objectives. We begin to consider function, character, and image of people and
natural spaces. We analyze and diagram your site (if you haven't already
purchased one, we will assist you in locating, evaluating and purchasing one)
and determine the best orientation and placement of the house to maximize
energy efficiency and optimize vistas. During this stage we also establish a
budget and rough schedule.
Conceptual Design
Conceptual Design is the brainstorming and exploration phase. It begins with
concept diagrams and rough sketches. During this phase we determine the
general layout, form and overall appearance of both the house and the site.
Sketches, drawings and study models are prepared to help evaluate the ideas
and concepts and set the final direction for refining the design. In this phase we
are focused on the connection between inside space and outside space and
how to maximize the building's efficiencies.
Design Development
In the Design Development phase, the size, layout and character of the home
and site are refined. We design feature elements such as stairs, cabinetry,
fireplaces and built-in furniture. Drawings are prepared that describe the
important technical details. Plans, elevations and sections through the house
are developed. Early on in this phase our lead carpenters and major
subcontractors are brought in to provide insight and trouble shooting. This
saves a great deal of time that, in a traditional process of designing first and
then building, would be wasted redesigning only after a design has first been
completed with problems. This design build integration also saves money by
providing input into the design phase from those who know how to streamline
the construction process. During this phase we begin to work with you to make
selections on items such as fixtures, appliances and floor coverings.
Construction Development
Construction Development is the phase where the design is translated into the
technical language of the contractor. Working drawings (blueprints) and
specifications, which define in detail all of the materials that are to be
incorporated into the house, are prepared, where they are to be located and
how they are to be installed. Although this phase is primarily intended for
working out the technical aspects of the project, some elaboration of design also
takes place. In addition, light fixtures, plumbing fixtures, and finish materials (tile,
carpet, paint colors, etc.) are selected.
Bidding
During the Bidding phase, we distribute sets of drawings and specifications,
answer subcontractor questions, and prepare addenda (revisions to the original
drawings or specifications). Once the bids are received, we analyze the results
and prepare a refined schedule and a construction contract.
Construction
Finally your project begins to emerge as something more than concept. Our
production department will work with you during this time to make sure that you
understand what is happening as things take shape and to answer any
questions you may have. The design team will continue to monitor the process
to make sure that the design is built as intended.
Warranty and Continuing Care
Occasionally we will need to come back after a home or remodeling project has
been finished to make final adjustments. We are always available to monitor and
repair our projects. We employ a third party monitoring system check with our
clients after we finish each job to insure that we are continually learning from our
client's experience with Stearns Design Build. Additionally we will call you
periodically to make sure that everything is in good working order and to ask
questions about the durability of your home. Our goal is to build homes and
relationships that will last for generations to come.
