Construction Management  |  Design-Build  |  Lump Sum Contracting  |  CM at Risk

BEING SINGLE HAS DEFINITE BENEFITS.

Let’s pause for a quick clarification: “Design - Build” is a project delivery system that enables you to contract with a single entity (Big-D, of course) to complete both the design and construction phases of your project.  

When all elements of your project are facilitated through Big-D, we’re able to more readily control costs and schedules, including offering a Guaranteed Maximum Price.

These simple but fundamental differences save money and time by transforming the relationship between designers and builders into an alliance which fosters collaboration and teamwork. United from the outset of every project, an integrated team also readily incorporates BIM and LEED®® certification goals.

Here’s a helpful summary of Design - Build benefits:

• Single point of responsibility for design and construction.
• Unites experience with experience. Design-Build combines experienced professionals whose background best corresponds with the specific requirements and scope of your project.
• Provides designers with a check-and-balance system that helps them focus on budget while maintaining a higher level of quality.
• Eliminates conflict between team members (designers and contractors) by enabling them to bring individual talents and strengths to your project.
• Provides you with a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP), due to total understanding of your project, months earlier than a traditional method.
• Delivers a pure “partnering process,” which unites all team members for the good of your project.
• Collaborative project management means work is completed faster with fewer problems.
• Cost savings are created as integrated team is geared toward efficiency and innovation.
• Increases quality as Big-D meets performance needs, not just minimum design requirements.

BEING EXPERIENCED IS A PLUS. TOO.

Did we mention how many years we’ve been applying the Design-Build management system?  

40.  

A healthy number, wouldn’t you say?  But even with 40 years under our belt, our obsession for producing impeccable buildings, on time and on budget, hasn’t waned.  We remain as impassioned, motivated and dedicated as ever to achieving harmony between the financial, aesthetic and timeline requirements of your project.
