Design and construction under one accountable team

Design-build places design and construction under a single contract and a single point of responsibility. The owner deals with one team from concept through completion, and that team is accountable for the outcome as a whole rather than for a portion of it.

We use design-build where schedule, budget certainty, or coordination complexity make a single accountable team the right structure. Design proceeds with construction cost and constructability built in, procurement begins before documents are complete, and the gaps where scope and budget typically drift between designer and builder are closed.

A single point of responsibility

When design and construction sit with one team, there is no dispute over whose scope a problem belongs to. Because construction pricing informs design as it develops, the owner reaches a reliable budget before documents are complete, and the guaranteed maximum price reflects a design already reconciled to cost. Overlapping design and procurement shortens the schedule, and design-to-budget management ensures that speed does not come at the expense of scope or quality.
