What is Design-Build?

Design-Build is an alternative to the design-bid-build model that allows owners to have full control over their projects from the initial concept through completion. In the project delivery method, the owner will manage a single contract from the start. All the responsibility is given to the design-build team who coordinates the design and construction phases completing projects faster, more cost-effectively and at a better quality.

Traditional project delivery raises causes for concern for the owners. Instead of handling one contract, owners manage two separate contracts – one for the construction and one for design. Owners serve as the middleman between the two sides and can get involved in disputes between the two parties when the project goes wrong. By going with a design-build plan from the start, the owner can form a unified team that encourages collaborative problem-solving and innovation. This is a sure way to reduce the number of change orders and any excess costs.
