A design build contractor provides all of the services of a general contractor, but also significantly contributes to the final function and visual appeal of the finished space. A general contractor oversees all functional aspects of the construction process. The general contractor usually has a broad range of experience in all areas of residential construction so he is competent to oversee the work of all of the types of subcontractors needed for any specific project. Whereas a general contractor provides measurements for kitchen cabinets and installs them when they arrive.
Key Takeaways:

- “A design-build contractor provides the technical expertise of the general contractor and will secure subcontractors where necessary but also provides direct input into choosing finishes.”

“In the design-build approach, the client has a single point of contact in all aspects of the project.”
