Design - Build
Hiring a synergistic Design and Construction team from the onset of your build plan is vital to resolving potential project challenges prior to construction start. We partner with the design team and client from the very start to deliver cohesive project recommendations that align with the client’s timeline, budget, and objectives. Working simultaneously with the builder and designers affords the client the benefit of our expertise in pricing, logistics, and construction sequencing.
Effective coordination with designers, architects, surveyors, engineers, procurement teams, and project management staff is the cornerstone of every project’s success. By moving beyond the traditional design-bid-build model, our approach delivers a more predictable and cost-effective outcome.
Traditional: Design - Bid - Build
Owner
Designer
Sub - Consultants
Contractor
Sub - Contractors
In this arrangement, the owner handles two separate contracts, effectively becoming a mediator who must resolve disputes between the designer and the contractor. This dynamic enables the designer and contractor to easily blame each other for cost overruns due to omission of information.
PPC Preferred: Design - Build
Owner
Design - Build Team
Sub - Consultants
The owner manages only one contract with a single point of responsibility, as the design team and contractor work together in a unified effort to provide cohesive recommendations. Any changes are addressed through the design-build process.
