A Delivery Method for Today's Needs
Through our professional services in providing procurement and program management support, our clients realize the benefits of design-build project delivery including the following:
Singular Responsibility
With both design and construction in the hands of a single entity, there is a single point of responsibility for quality, cost, and schedule adherence.
Quality
The singularized responsibility inherent in design-build serves as a motivation for quality and proper project performance.
Cost Savings
Design and construction personnel, working and communicating as a team, evaluate alternative materials and methods efficiently and accurately as well as utilize value engineering and constructability reviews continuously during Project implementation.
Time Savings
Because design and construction are overlapped, and because bidding periods and redesign are eliminated, total design and construction time can be significantly reduced.
Reduced Administrative Burden
During procurement the owner’s administrative burden is reduced. During design and construction, the owner is not required to invest time and money in coordinating and arbitrating between separate design and construction contracts and is free to focus on timely decision-making.
Early Knowledge of Construction Costs
Construction costs are known far earlier than in other delivery systems. The entity responsible for design is simultaneously estimating construction costs and can accurately conceptualize the completed project.
Improved Risk Management
Performance aspects of cost, schedule and quality are clearly defined with responsibilities and risks appropriately managed by the party best positioned to accept specific risk. Change orders due to "errors and omissions" are virtually eliminated.
