Design-Build

- There is a single source of responsibility between the contractor and designer.
- Fast track scheduling assists in compressing the projects duration since construction can begin while design is ongoing.
- Design-Build allows the owner to benefit from the teams resources which are oriented towards the goal of a mutually successful project instead of the adversarial relationships which are typical in the hard bid industry.
- Project costs are identified in the early stages which can lead to more innovative and cost efficient solutions.
Construction Management
