WHAT IS DESIGN-BUILD

Over the past two decades, the Design-Build process has become more and more predominant within the construction industry. In its simplest form, the Design-Build strategy is essentially a method of design and construction of a project, but one that has had drastic implications both for contractors and their clients.

Traditional construction methods can often be time-consuming and confusing, and communication taking place between three separate entities – the Contractor, the Design Team, and the Client. This can cause project delays, with valuable time wasted.

To simplify this process, the Design-Build method involves only a Client and a Contractor. A Design-Build contractor consists of a highly developed project team that specializes in both design and construction. With communication between only two parties, the process becomes quicker, there are minimal errors, and a single point of responsibility is established.

Abcott Construction understands that the Design-Build strategy is extremely beneficial to our client’s, as it helps to establish cost early on in the project, eliminates the need to bid for a construction contractor, and allows construction to begin in conjunction with the detail drawing stage. Your construction project is then completed quicker, easier, with little room for error.
