BENEFITS OF DESIGN BUILD:

Singular Responsibility

• Turn-key single source responsibility most effective in managing risks
   
• The owner is not required during design and construction to coordinate or arbitrate between separate contracts or resolve budget and schedule conflicts
   
• Undivided responsibility for budget, schedule and quality of workmanship
   
• Conflicts between design and construction are design builder’s responsibility
   
• Avoid legal entanglements of adversarial relationships
   
• Reap the benefits of cooperative efforts

Quality

• With the undivided accountability, responsibility for defects or non-performance cannot shift to another party
   
• Singularized responsibility inherent in design-build is powerful quality motivator
   
• Traditional method relies upon restrictive contract language, adversarial audit, inspection and legal system to insure quality

Early Identification of Costs

• Design/Build approach will allow us to guarantee the project cost early on and virtually eliminate change orders
   
• Guaranteed project performance before accepting facility
   
• Can accurately conceptualize project at early stages
   
• Design-builder is simultaneously estimating construction costs during design
   
• Decision to proceed with project is made with firm knowledge of the final cost and scope of work

Cost Savings

• Open book policy
   
• Design and construction works as a team
   
• Ability to evaluate alternative designs, materials, and methods efficiently
  and accurately
   
• Value engineering and constructability are utilized continuously

Time Savings

• Design and construction can be overlapped
   
• Redesign is eliminated
   
• Material and long lead items can be procured early on
   
• Time savings translates into lower costs
   
• Earlier occupancy of completed facility
   
• Reduced administrative burden
   
• Also, because our approach is single source, we can reduce the administrative burden to you because design/build is only resource-intensive during the early stages.
