- With design-build construction, a project owner entrusts responsibility for all aspects of design and site development to a single expert: the design-build contractor.
- The selected design-build expert then secures and manages all work between architects, engineers, subcontractors, specialty tradesmen, vendors, and material providers. Even permitting can be processed through this single point of contact.
- It is the design-builder’s best interest and goal to ensure that all parties understand the project, and are the most qualified professionals to tackle it.
- Design-build is a turnkey solution for the owner. From logistics to quality control, the design- build contractor handles jobs that the owner doesn’t have time for – without the added cost and complexity of multiple firms or consultants.
What Are The Benefits of Design-Build Construction?
- With streamlined communication through a single point of contact, jobs are completed more efficiently and with fewer changes – keeping projects on time and under budget!
- The project owner has just one contract with the design-builder, meaning resources are not wasted on vetting and coordinating agreements with separate contractors, designers, and sub-consultants.
- Design-build is transparent. Through effective communication with the design-build contractor, expectations are clearly defined early in the relationship, cultivating a purposeful partnership with no surprises.
- Unlike bid projects (where lowball contractors can endanger the final project and timeline) design-build values quality and efficiency. Design-build projects are negotiated through the design-build contractor’s trusted network of vendors and subcontractors – not the lowest bidder.
What Projects Best Suit a Design-Build Contract?
- Manufacturing, public structures, government facilities.
- Commercial, industrial, entertainment, distribution, educational.
- Ideal if the building’s intended end use must adapt to changes in technology and equipment, or if trends in finishes and aesthetics occur during the project.
- Price Range: $500K to $50M.
