Design-Build Project Delivery

Design-Build is a method of project delivery in which owners contract with a single entity (design-builder) to provide both design and construction services.  Principle advantages of a design-build contract are the single point of responsibility and the potential to collapse otherwise independent phases and therefore save valuable time and money.

A design-build procurement method provides single-source responsibility to a client with all the benefits of proven design, engineering, and construction experience.  It provides the most cost-effective structure to meet the design, cost control, and quality requirements of any construction project.  Design-build also facilitates budget control by shortening the project schedule. 

During the past decade, the use of and interest in design-build has greatly accelerated making this delivery method one of the most significant trends in the design and construction industry.  According to the American Institute of Architects, design-build is attracting a lot of attention, because owners are finding it attractive for complex and unusual projects, and more importantly, because it eliminates some of the major seams in getting a project built.

Primary reasons why owners are choosing design-build are:

• Owner-driven demands for better quality and continuous improvements in project delivery and in the final product;
• Interest in saving time and money, such as through a process wherein constructability is a key concern from the outset;
• Desire to avoid the legal entanglements of adversarial relationships;
• Need to realign the responsibilities and risks on a project, by dividing responsibilities/risks according to the party most capable of managing those risks.
