Design-Build

Design-Build is a highly collaborative, fully integrated process that is built on trust, mutual respect, teamwork, innovation and creative problem solving.

Design-build unleashes the power of teams to deliver projects faster, better, and for optimum cost – best value for the money, time, and effort invested.

Owners find that when design-build is done right, their level of engagement with the entire team is more meaningful than is experienced with other delivery methods.

Traditional

In the traditional workflow, the client meets with multiple firms, compounding communication of ideas and process approvals..

• The client meets with an architect to determine project scope, design, and budget. After multiple iterations, detailed construction documents are created.
• Construction documents are sent out for bids. A contractor is selected, and bids are awarded.
• The contractor hires a team of sub-contractors to perform each phase of the project.

Simplified

In the Design-Build workflow, the client meets with just one firm. and the entire process is simplified. It reduces the number of meetings required and reduces the possibility of mis-communication between multiple firms
