| TRADITIONAL (DESIGN-BID-BUILD) | DESIGN-BUILD |
LONGER TIMELINE Bidding and awarding multiple contracts add weeks to the project timeline. More handoff and kickoff meetings between project phases are needed. Construction does not start before the design is complete. If there are design issues, construction stops while project issues go back to the drawing board. | RAPID PROJECT DELIVERY Bidding and award time is greatly reduced or eliminated altogether, giving time back to the project and getting your product to market. Design and construction happen simultaneously so any |
TUNNEL VISION Much less collaboration and teamwork — each contractor focused on how to make money completing their own part of the project. | INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS More innovation and better constructability — the team can collaborate, find new ways to add value to your project, and share the risk. We align our goals around your goals. |
MANY MOVING PARTS TO MANAGE Multiple contractors with their own goals in mind, resulting in communication gaps, finger pointing, and change orders — meaning more headaches and less project performance for you. | SINGLE SOURCE RESPONSIBILITY One single point of contact manages and takes responsibility for the entire project — removing coordinating, handling, and scheduling all the details off your plate. |
FINANCIAL UNCERTAINTY AND RISK Higher final costs, as it’s common to see an artificially low number at bid time and aggressive change orders added to it. | EARLY, DEPENDABLE PRICING One proposal upfront for design and construction and that’s the price you pay — no hidden charges or scope gaps. |
