With the Design/Build approach to project management, a single entity is responsible for all aspects of design and construction. The client signs an all-inclusive contract with the designer/builder, who is then accountable for all aspects of project delivery. By removing the multi-tiered structure that can hinder decision-making and follow-through, Design/Build can deliver your building project quickly and less expensively.
The benefits of this approach include:
PCE’s Design/Build is accountable for every aspect of your project, from the first pencil sketch to the last stroke of the painter’s brush.
By consolidating all aspects of the project, Design/Build ensures every step of the process consistently conforms to high standards.
Bidding phases are eliminated and transition time between design and construction phases are minimized. Implementation of a “fast track” process provides time savings due to an overlap of design and construction activities and elimination of bidding phases.
Design/Build allows you to know final project costs far in advance of the completion date. Project costs are minimized through centralized decision-making and use of innovative, cost-effective solutions throughout design and construction.
The client has only one call to make to ask questions about any aspect of their project. All project stakeholders are focused on the client’s goals. Architect-Contractor-Client team approach creates better collaboration and minimizes risk to all parties.
