design/build firms

[jdirgo]

The closest I've seen is someone like Cat (Kapohocat), who coordinates the draftspeople & architects, building/planning department (and Dept of Health for cesspool/septic) and also manages the contractors.

To me, the advantage of someone like that is that the contractors, etc are not her employees, giving her the freedom to pick and choose the team to best do the specific job. Maybe the design/build firms are similar (I don't have enough experience with them to say).
