Why design to build

Design to build is a unique service that combines the design and construction phases of a project into one cohesive process. This ensures that the final product exceeds your expectations and eliminates delays and communication problems.

What is design-to-build and why is it important? As mentioned above, what makes design to build different is the integration of both designer and builder to work together through the entire process. When design and construction are separate entities, it can cause delays and communication problems. With Fears Construction and B Design working together, these breaks in communication are eliminated and our partnership makes it work more seamless since we understand how each other work. This shared mission to provide clients with the best possible results, both beauty and function, has led us to provide you with creatively designed spaces that are built with quality and function in mind. We find that this cohesive effort from start to finish exceeds expectations and brought our clients the most optimal results. You can learn more about our process on our process page

On top of a seamless design to build philosophy we purchased top-of-the-line technology that helps manage our client's project, so they can always stay up-to-date on progress. The homeowner or business owner can log into their account on any computer, mobile app, or tablet app to view real-time updates, upload and review pictures, and communicate with the design-to-build team.

Fears Construction featuring B Design came from humble beginnings in Shorewood, IL over a decade ago. We can perform any job no matter how big or small and are proud to offer four different scope of work choices. Get a plan for your next DIY project or get a complete upgrade.  We are confident that we can help you create the perfect space for your needs and we are committed to making sure that you are satisfied with the results.

The process of a traditional Design Bid Build and a Design to Build is very different. The infographics below give you a visual of how each method works, from start to finish. As you can see with a traditional design bid build the designer and builder work independently at each phase while in a design to build process both design and builder work cohesively throughout the entire process looping in the business owner when needed. These graphs are based on an illustration we found on Wikipedia

I know Mr. Fears very well. Throughout the year he has helped our house. Taking down bee nests and wasp nests as well. I definitely will recommend Mr. Fears for any job.

I'm very happy with the service I received for Fears Construction. Jake was extremely diligent and responsive during a project I had at home. For a project I was expecting to take weeks to fix, the company got out there, assessed the situation, got the appropriate personnel on-site and fixed the issue all within the course of a week. Jake continued to keep me in the loop throughout the repairs regarding the work being done and the estimated completion date.
