What is the Difference Between a Design-Build Project and a Traditional Approach?

If you haven’t heard of Design-Build, you will. It’s the most rapidly growing method for construction today.

What makes the process of Design-Build so effective is that it’s a simple approach to construction and provides the owners with a single point of contact for both the construction phases and design of a project. It’s excellent in that one entity holds single-source responsibility and contractual risk for every aspect of a build. From estimation, assessments and pre-construction to architecture, engineering, schematics, subcontracting, construction and post-construction. The Design-Builder manages all contracts with companies or individuals, so there are unified recommendations.

The traditional way of delivering a project has the owners managing two separate contracts where the owner manages communication between the contractor and the design architect. While working this way is still a sound approach, it’s important to ask for references from both parties to make sure you’re working with the very best to make sure there are no gaps in communication.

Design-Build allows for your project team to provide insights into the constructibility and cost while considering different design options. When you partner with BRP, we can find savings throughout the design and construction phases. Our credentials, expertise, experience and the team delivers the best value by evaluating budget solutions early in the design process and creates continuous price estimates as the design progresses.
