Design/Build On The Rise


The design-build construction project delivery system accounts for almost 25 percent of all nonresidential construction in the United States, up 6 percent from 10 years ago, according to the Design Build Institute of America.


 

Often times Design/Build is the best approach for a project.  It allows us to reduce the overall time frame required for the project by working through many of the details of the design while also working on the budget.  This delivery system also allows value engineering to take place during the design process rather than once the design is complete.  As part of our Design/Build services we begin by analyzing our client's needs and then see the project through from concept to completion. 

These definitions help explain the difference between the Design/Build and the typical Design-Bid-Build method of project delivery systems.

  Design-Bid-Build: This is the project delivery approach where the Owner commissions an architect or engineer to prepare drawings and specifications under a design services contract, and separately contracts for at-risk construction, by engaging a contractor through competitive bidding or negotiation.

  Design-Build: Also known as “design-construct” or “single responsibility”, Design-Build is a system of contracting under which one entity performs both architecture/engineering and construction under one single contract.

Companies preparing to build a new facility should consider the design-build project delivery system, which combines design and construction contracting in one agreement and provides owners with "one-stop shopping" for all design and construction-related activities.
