The design-build delivery method is a shift from the more traditional design-bid-build delivery of construction. Successful design-build projects offer an owner many benefits that add value to a project.
Earlier knowledge of Guaranteed costs The design-build delivery system allows the contractor to establish a guaranteed cost early on in the design phase. This allows the owner to make changes, request additional value engineering, or add scope to a project before the substantial design is complete.

Selecting the design-build team should occur earlier in the construction process, offering the greatest potential to save both time and resources.
