Architecture, engineering and construction under a single contract: streamlined communication, shorter timelines and better cost control. Design-build puts designers and builders on the same team from day one. Constructability and cost are checked while the drawings are still being made, not discovered on site. For the owner it means one contract, one point of responsibility and a faster path from concept to completion.
One agreement covering design, engineering and construction.
Budgets validated at every design stage, before the drawings are final.
Overlapping design and construction phases compress the overall schedule.
Applications and municipal coordination handled inside the same team.
From feasibility and layout to occupancy, without handoffs between firms.
Fewer surprises. The builder prices the design as it evolves, so the project that gets drawn is a project you can afford, and responsibility never falls between two firms.
No. You approve the design at every stage. What changes is that each option comes with a real cost and schedule attached, so decisions are informed.
Usually. Because design and construction overlap, long-lead items are ordered and early site work starts while detailed design is still finishing.
