DESIGN-BUILD PROCESS

Design-build partnerships provide unique solutions to owner requirements. Design-Build provides the opportunity for innovation from project inception to completion. Traditional, fixed price methods often limits the potential for creativity.

Knowledge of design criteria and construction techniques are important factors in making final choices. On-site operations can begin almost immediately, allowing final design details and working drawings to proceed concurrently with construction.

Design-Build differs from more traditional construction relationships in that the Owner deals with a single entity. The Design-Builder co-ordinates the design and construction phases under one contract. Working as a team can fast track the entire process resulting in lower costs for the Owner.

GENERAL CONTRACTOR

With the General Contractor relationship, the owner provides the team leadership and engages the architectural and engineering consultants, and the Construction Manager, or General Contractor directly. The General Contractor manages only the construction process which usually includes tendering Trade Contractor bids.
