Design – Build

This approach allows the builder and the designer to act as one entity under a single contract with the owner.
Benefits for owners opting for this method:
•    No need to act as a mediator when disagreements between the contractor and the designer arise;
•    Less resources required for the owner hence more cost-effective;
•    Design issues can be resolved faster;
•    More fluid communication between the designer and the contractor;
•    Fast-tracking can be achieved (construction can start before design is fully completed);
•    Cost overrun and errors are minimized.

Our past experiences in executing successful design-build projects have certainly taught us on how to improve further on future design-build projects. During the initial phase, we listen to the client’s requirements and provide advice as well to help them reach their goals. The construction can even start before the design is fully completed. During the construction phase, we ensure smooth execution while minimizing changes and cost escalations.
