        "text": "In design-build, one entity handles both design and construction under a single contract, fostering a unified team approach. Conversely, the traditional design-bid-build method separates these phases: an architect designs, then contractors bid on the completed plans. The design-build model often results in more efficient communication, integrated problem-solving, and potentially faster project delivery because the builder's constructability insights are present during design. This contrasts with managing separate contracts and potential conflicts inherent in the traditional method, a practical tradeoff to consider for homeowners in any of our service areas.",
