Benefits Of Design-Build

 
Design-build is a system of contracting under which one entity performs both design and construction.

In a "traditional" contracting approach a client commissions an architect or engineer to prepare drawings and specifications and separately selects a construction contractor or construction manager either by negotiation or competitive bidding.

A design-build team is jointly involved in producing a product that meets a client's needs rather than merely acting as professional advisors.  Collaboration of designers and builders is the foundation of design-build.

Benefits of design-build project delivery include:

• Single point responsibility
• Early knowledge of cost
• Time savings
• Cost savings
