Design and Build

WHAT WE OFFER YOU

Design and build is a project delivery system used in the construction industry. It is a method to deliver a project in which one entity – the design-build team – works under a single contract with the project owner to provide design and construction services. Design and build are also known as design/construct and single-source responsibility. Design and build can be advantageous in terms of time as it allows the overlap of design and construction reducing the overall project delivery time.

The owner must manage two separate contracts; the owner becomes the middleman, settling disputes between the designer and the contractor. The designer and contractor can easily blame one another for the cost overruns and other problems.

Owner manages only one contractor with a single point of responsibility. This delivery method is characterized by collaboration between the design and construction teams. Changes are addressed by the design-build team and not used as excuses. The design-build team manages all subs and consultants.
