Design-Build Projects
Design-Build is a method of project delivery in which owners contract with a single entity (design-builder) to provide both design and construction services. Principle advantages of a design-build contract are the single point of responsibility and the potential to collapse otherwise independent phases and therefore save valuable time and money.
A design-build procurement method provides single-source responsibility to a client with all the benefits of proven design, engineering, and construction experience. It provides the most cost-effective structure to meet the design, cost control, and quality requirements of any construction project. Design-build also facilitates budget control by shortening the project schedule.
During the past decade, the use of and interest in design-build has greatly accelerated making this delivery method one of the most significant trends in the design and construction industry. According to the American Institute of Architects, design-build is attracting a lot of attention, because owners are finding it attractive for complex and unusual projects, and more importantly, because it eliminates some of the major seams in getting a project built.
Primary Reasons why Owners are Choosing Design-Build
- Owner-driven demands for better quality and continuous improvements in project delivery and in the final product;
- Interest in saving time and money, such as through a process wherein constructability is a key concern from the outset;
- Desire to avoid the legal entanglements of adversarial relationships;
- Need to realign the responsibilities and risks on a project, by dividing responsibilities/risks according to the party most capable of managing those risks.
