DESIGN-BUILD
The Design-Build approach typically consists of the client, general contractor, architect, engineers and subcontractors all working as a team from the very beginning of a project. Design build sees team members working as a cohesive unit, with each contributing their design and/or construction expertise. This approach not only streamlines the process for all parties, it results in faster project delivery and the best cost to value.
Design-Build is an extremely efficient delivery method because of the team approach. When everyone works in unison, the project evolves around the owners budget, design needs, and timeline. When compared to a design-bid-build, there are up to 50% increases in pre-construction schedules. The goal is to manage the project design during the early stages versus reacting to the project design during the later stages.
