Contract One Integrated Team
Design-build streamlines project delivery through a single contract between the owner and the design-build team. This simple but fundamental difference saves money and time by transforming the relationship between designers and builders into an alliance that fosters collaboration and teamwork. United from the outset of every project, an integrated team can readily incorporate BIM and LEED certification goals.
The Design-Build Advantage:
Owner/Agency Benefits
- Speedy Delivery — collaborative project management means faster work with fewer problems.
- Cost Savings — an integrated team gears itself toward efficiency and innovation.
- Better Quality — design-builders meet performance needs, not minimum design requirements, and often develop innovations that deliver a better project than initially imagined.
- Singular Responsibility — one entity is held accountable for cost, schedule and performance.
- Decreased Administrative Burden — owners can focus on the project rather than managing disparate contracts.
- Reduced Risk — the design-build team assumes additional risk.
- Reduced Litigation Claims — by closing warranty gaps, owners virtually eliminate litigation claims.
