Choosing the right construction delivery method is crucial for commercial building projects. Analyzing key factors between traditional design-bid-build and accelerated design-build helps determine the best fit. Remember, priorities like budgets, timelines, quality control, and customization should guide decision-making.
In design-bid-build, design fees and potential construction change orders are separate; design-build combines all costs into one integrated contract.
Design-bid-build allows full completion of drawings and specifications before phased procurement and building; design-build overlaps architectural design and physical construction, fast-tracking project timelines.
Design-bid-build has clear accountability between contracted designers and builders; design-build shares liability risks between the integrated design-build team.
Design-bid-build ensures continued designer involvement in on-site quality assurance during the construction phase; design-build relies on self-oversight with less reliance on formal design clarification processes.
Design-bid-build enables extensive owner influence on spatial layouts and building system specifications; design-build accelerates owner decision-making to suit integrated scheduling, utilizing builder input on constructability.
Clipper Construction has expertise in both traditional design-bid-build and accelerated design-build project delivery methods, providing value engineering, cost estimation, and a proven commercial construction track record.
