Design/ Build
Similar to CM, but with a single
source of responsibility.
The client contracts with the Design/ Builder very early in the process
and the Design/Builder manages all aspects of Design and Construction.
– The Design Professionals work directly for the Construction
Firm (Design/ Builder)
– Utilize the “hands on experience” of field and
office personnel to eliminate or minimize design problems
– Done properly, the Design/ Build process eliminates the potential
“finger-pointing” – the Design/ Builder cannot shift
blame to another party
– Done properly, the D/B process can cut months off a total project
design and construction schedule
Project Examples:
Dutchess Beer Distributors ($3.2 Mill – 6 months)
Monticello Paddock ($1.1 Mill – 4 months)
FEDEX Freight ($5 Mill - 6 months)
