Design-Build & What it Means To You: Part 2
Western Slope Pro Audio, Inc. is Western Colorado’s only professional audio, video, and control systems design-build company. Why Design-Build? It’s very simple, you will save time, money, and most importantly your project will receive the personal attention that is necessary to insure high-quality performance and long-life. In a recent NSCA Publication* Sidney M. Levy notes that studies conducted by the Construction Industry Institute and Penn State’s College of Engineering indicate that there are both time and money savings to be realized by utilizing design-build. Three hundred and fifty one projects in 37 states were analyzed with the following conclusions:
  • Design-build project unit costs were 4.5% less than construction manager at risk (CM at Risk) projects, or a project where the construction manager guarantees the owner a final project cost and is therefore at-risk for exceeding that cost, and 6% less than design-bid-build projects.
  • Design-build projects, measured in the number of square feet constructed per month were 7% faster than CM at risk and 12% faster than design-bid-build.
  • Factoring speed of design into the equation, the design-build method was 23% faster than a design-CM-at risk system and 33% faster than the conventional design-bid-build process.
A quality system is an investment that deserves the highest level of professional design experience, workmanship, and performance. Western Slope Pro Audio, Inc. delivers this level of professionalism with over 37-years of industry experience to every one of its projects, and yours deserves the best.
