If you're planning a new build or renovation in Arizona, you’ve likely heard the term design-build. But what does it really mean—and how does it compare to the traditional construction route?
Traditional Construction
Typically, you hire an architect, then a separate builder, and hope they communicate well. This often leads to budget surprises, design disconnects, and project delays.
