The Design-Build Philosophy

Platinum Builders follows the design-build system of project delivery as one of the many advantages it offers. Design-build is the philosophy of the whole project coming under the umbrella of a single contract to provide a comprehensive package of design and construction services. The concept visualizes a single entity and a single contract leading to a coordinated work flow from conceptualization to completion. Design-build is sometimes called design-construct or single source responsibility. It is the new project delivery system
which, around the globe, delivers schools, office buildings, commercial complexes and infrastructure projects with exceptional results.

Design-build is often confused with the traditional design-bid-build method. This is quite a different approach where design and construction are separated with different contracts and split responsibilities.

The three most commonly adopted project delivery systems in the U.S. are design-build, construction management and design-bid-build. Design-build has demonstrated a superiority which has now made it the preferred design and construction system in the country.

Design-build has many significant advantages not the least being faster delivery at projected costs, better quality and reduced risk. For details of Platinum Builders, its projects and methodology click on http://www.platinumbuilderssanjose.com/.
