With Design-Build, we are able to get on
ground sooner, build faster and deliver before schedule more
often than comparable Design-Bid-Build deliveries. The initial
time saving is in elimination of the bid phase between design
and construction. We are able to save further by overlapping
design and construction activities. Materials, equipment procurement
and construction on site can be initiated well before preparation
of all specific details documents. The integrated process
approach encourages time saving value engineering and parallel
construction activities that do not get into each other's
way. Most importantly, due to the better control that we exert
over the various component agencies working on the project,
any delays or non-performance can be addressed quickly and
effectively without getting into contractual issues and time
wasting procedures, making Design-Build the system of choice
for 'Fast-Track' deliveries.
