Design Build – a single source takes it all on

Even the most complex project can benefit from this fast and efficient way to build 

Design Build has the benefit that the owner selects the proponent most qualified to bring all the right people to the table and coordinate a Design Build team. This selected Design Build proponent acts as a single source responsibility and takes on the project from the earliest design phase right through to project close-out.
 
A lot rests on the Design Build contractor. They take on the risk of the project by giving the owner a fixed price for the entire program, including design and construction.  Errors, discrepancies or omissions in delivering the owner’s specified program are the responsibility of the Design Build contractor, not the owner.
 
Because of these assumed risks undertaken by the Design Build contractor, they must have the proper resources in place, and their design and subcontracting partners must be familiar with the Design Build method in order to assure that the benefits of this approach are maximized.
 
For all of these reasons, the selection of the design builder is the most important decision an owner will make. He / she must have the confidence that the company selected has the competence and integrity to deliver in accordance with the program while working within the project’s budget.
