Design-Build

Traditional project delivery relies on a stressed owner balancing the relationships and contracts between architects, engineers, builders, and often other 3rd party vendors. This means challenging accountability and a lot of finger-pointing if conflicts arise and no matter how carefully you plan, conflicts WILL arise.

 

We believe that the less stress and worry for the owner during a build, the better it is for everyone. Here are just a few advantages to our Design-Build project delivery program:

 

  • The most cost-effective and fastest delivery method.
  • Allow owners to start construction sooner, even before the design plans are complete, and set the GMP as the design develops.
  • Provides design-builders’ expertise when choosing materials, implementing methods, and meeting overall requirements of the project, which optimizes speed and cost.
  • Offers implied fitness of design plans because the design team and build team are under the same contract.
  • Limits finger-pointing between designer and builder and solves the liability gap that the owner faces.
  • Doesn’t require 100% finished design before selecting the build team.
  • Reduces paper shuffling, removes approval process, and streamlines the submittals while still safeguarding the owner.
