Design-build – Why is this method becoming so popular?
When it comes to construction, there are approximately six different delivery methods: design-bid-build, design-build, construction manager at risk, construction management multi-prime, public-private partnership and integrated project delivery. Choosing the right project delivery method for your project is a critical step and will set the tone for the project overall. With that said, the design-build method, which is utilized by our experts at Leon Williams Contractors, has been growing in popularity over the years.
According to the Design-Build Institute of America, design-build spending is anticipated to yield a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2% over the 2022-20226 forecast period and reach over $405 billion in 2026. There are several reasons why this delivery method has become more common and why more construction companies are turning to it.
Complete Teamwork
When it comes to the design-build method, both the design-build team and the project owner work together to accomplish a common goal. These teams are established early in the project, and their jobs are intertwined throughout the project. When a problem occurs, the design-build team is solely responsible for correcting the issue. This encourages everyone on the team to collaborate and make sure the project runs smoothly.
Fewer changes and claims
Since the team is working hand-in-hand with each other, it lowers the number of changes during the project. Remember, there is a single point of responsibility with the design-build method. This means each individual person strives to work as a team to deliver an excellent completed project. Since the designers and contractors collaborate from the beginning, there are fewer changes that need to be made. This makes it advantageous for contractors.
Those are just two reasons why the design-build delivery method has become popular. As your Maryville commercial construction leaders, our experts have been using the design-build method for years.
