Design/Build
Known as “Design Build” or “Turnkey”, this is a system of contracting under which one entity performs both Architectural/Engineering design and the actual construction work.
In the “traditional” contracting approach, the owner commissions an architect or engineer to prepare drawings and specifications, and separately selects a construction contractor either by negotiation or competitive bidding.
The Design Build team is closely involved in producing a product which meets the owner’s needs rather than merely acting as a professional advisor to the owner.
Advantages of Design/Build:
- Early development of cost estimates: Owners will find out at the end of preliminary drawing phase the cost of the project, allowing them to establish their budget, instead of getting a surprise when bids come in too high.
- Owner involvement: The Design Team consists of: The owner, the contractor & design professionals, all working together to create the right design for the owner’s project.
