Member news: Morey Construction on Design/Build
I am a big fan of Design/Build, both from my years as a developer and my experience as a customer. To me, separating the design process from the construction process is a recipe for disaster — construction disaster and (more commonly) budget disaster.
In a recent Remodeling Magazine article, Cindy Goff of Morey Construction in Signal Hill, CA, describes the benefits and personal satisfaction she’s enjoyed in the year since Ben Morey asked her to head up their design department.
I now design with confidence and support. I still interact and dream with clients, but I know the budget and the structural approach from the beginning â€â€? from the guy who’s going to build it! The clients and I are at ease because we have information. There is a fixed price that we all work toward, and it doesn’t move unless the client moves it.
