What's The Difference
ANP Akamai
vs
General Contractor?

Design-Build:

• One Team: One contract that handles both the design and construction, making it easier to manage. AKA no finger pointing if things go wrong.

​

• Smoother Process: Since the design and construction teams work together, there's less BS to inconvenience you. YAY!

​

• Single Point of Contact: Your new BF AKA design liaison manages the project, keeps you updated, and ensures your unique design vision.

​

General Contractor:

• Two Teams: You hire a designer or architect first, then a separate general contractor to build.

​

• More Involvement: You’ll need to coordinate between the designer and contractor, which can be more time-consuming.

​

• Separate Contracts: You have two contracts—one with the designer and one with the contractor—which can sometimes lead to more complexity.
