Quality design-builders meet performance needs, not minimum design requirements, often developing innovations to deliver a better project than initially imagined. Singular Responsibility one entity is held accountable for cost, schedule and performance. Decreased Administrative Burden owners can focus on the project rather than managing disparate contracts. Reduced Risk the Design-Build team assumes additional risk.
