Design & Build

Integrated Design & Build Services

Design & Build is a method of project delivery in which one entity – design-build team – works under a single contract with the project owner to provide design and construction services. One entity, one contract, one unified flow of work from initial concept through completion – thereby re-integrating the roles of designer and constructor.

Design-build is an alternative to the traditional design-bid-build project delivery method. Under the latter approach, design and construction services are split into separate entities, separate contracts, separate work. Across the country and around world, design-build successfully delivers both horizontal and vertical construction projects with superior results – no matter what the project type.
