Building by Design-BUILD
Project delivery systems have evolved from the traditional design-bid-build approach to a broad acceptance of Design-Build in not only the private sector but the public sector as well.
Design-Build is the form of project delivery in which more private owners and recently more public entities are contracting with a team that includes an architect and a contractor who may be partners in the undertaking or one is a subcontractor to the other. Principal advantages of a design-build approach are the single point of responsibility for both design and construction services and the potential to condense otherwise independent development phases and therefore save valuable time & money.
