The design-build delivery method is a shift from the traditional design-bid-build delivery of construction projects. Design-build combines architecture / engineering and construction services under a single contract blending the roles of the designer and constructor.
Design-build services include:
- Single point of responsibility
- Improved architect – contractor communication
- Constructability reviews
- Early knowledge of construction costs
- Full competitive subcontractor pricing
- Improved change order control
- Cost savings
- Time savings
- Improved risk management
