Different phases of construction going on while the panels are being erected.
 
160,000 SF Building Shell Completed in 16 weeks. Another example of fast track construction.
 
ADVANTAGES
 
  • Singular responsibility– single point of responsibility for quality, cost and schedule.

    		•
  • Increased quality– building owners dictate performance terms at the project outset, motivating the design-builder to deliver.

    		•
  • Cost savings– designers and contractors working together allows for enhanced value engineering.

  • Time savings– material procurement and construction work can begin before construction documents are completed.

  • Early knowledge of project costs– evaluation of construction estimates during design provides accurate budget for completed project.

    		•
  • Reduced administrative burden– owners invest time in scope development, rather than coordination of other parties.

  • Improved risk management– errors, misunderstandings and change orders are virtually eliminated.

    • Design-Build

    SAVING TIME AND ENERGY

    With design-build, performance aspects of cost, schedule and quality are clearly defined and appropriately balanced at the onset of a project. Owners, designers and construction professionals collaborate for optimum efficiency and accountable > results. Since design and constructionare overlapped—and constructability is evaluated early—design-build delivers savingsof both time and money.
