ADVANTAGES OF DESIGN BUILD

It is a system in which, the project owner contracts with a general contractor to both design and build the project. The owner does not individually hire an architect or engineer for design as that becomes the responsibility of the general contractor. It is the general contractor who subcontracts, through bidding or other means.

Design-build delivery has several advantages-

Price Certainty- With this method, the project owner has the best certainty of the cost of the building at the very start of the project. This is because the owner specifies what he is ready to pay for a building before soliciting proposals from the - design-build contractors for the pattern, features, and materials they are going to provide for the particular price.

No Conflicts and Disputes- Because the builder and designer are part of the same entity, and the project owner is not the guarantor of the accuracy and completeness of the work, the owner may avoid disputes that occur between the engineer and construction contractor.

Faster Project Delivery- Because the design and construction phases go hand in hand, design-build can deliver a project quicker than other approaches.

Agency Requires Less Technical Staff- With design-build; the project owner does not have to constantly review the correctness and entirety of the architect/engineer's work. Therefore, the owner could have less need for in-house technical staff to administer projects.
