Design-build is an integrated building approach that delivers architectural design and construction services under one contract with a single point of responsibility. This turn-key approach compares favorably to traditional bid contracting, in which an owner commissions an architect or engineer to prepare design specifications and separately selects a construction contractor by competitive bid. Across the country and around the world, the design-build method successfully delivers office buildings, school buildings, medical facilities, dental facilities, veterinary facilities, church buildings, transportation centers and other infrastructure projects with superior results. Throughout history, master builders embraced both design and construction roles to build the world’s greatest structures.
