In the construction industry, design-build is a method to deliver a project through a single entity by combining the design and construction phases of a project into one contract. The design/build company holds responsibility for the entire project no matter the nature of the fault. This greatly minimizes risks for project owners.
Construction projects usually have a separate designer and contractor and because these are two different entities they often end up butting heads over construction materials, details, schedules, and budgets. This is why change orders are often required when you aren’t dealing with a design/build company.
With design/build companies like energy services company Brewer-Garrett, costly and time consuming redesigns and change orders are eliminated. There are many advantages to design/build contracts such as:
- In house design/build eliminates mediation between designer and contractor
- Single point of contact
- Facilitates quick and easy communication
- Provides single point accountability
- Greater cost savings and return on investment (ROI)
- Increased construction efficiency and implementation time
- Greater opportunity for innovation
