The idea behind a Design and Build project is that one organization is responsible for both the design and execution. Many clients like this approach as they, the principals, only enter into one contract and only have one single point of contact who bares total responsibility for the duration of the project. This, coupled with that fact that the principal receives a price guarantee at an early stage, allows for complete coverage of risks even which are ever important with complex construction projects.
The organization chosen is referred to as the general contractor and is the organizer responsible for sub-contracting other trusted contractors to provide their specialized knowledge, supplies and skills to complete the project to the highest standards.
The stages of a typical Design and Build project would often entail the following:
- Design, calculate & specify technical installations
- Drawing (AutoCAD) of technical installations
- Calculate/budget
- Select and contract installers/staff
- Coordinate & organize field meetings
- Project Management
- Purchase of materials & invoice checks
- Project Coordination
- Project Supervision
- Document Management
- Periodical and final inspections
Many other benefits arise from a Design and Build project, for example, the complete design is kept within the confines of known implementation possibilities and restrictions thus avoiding delays in execution. This can also significantly shorten the turnaround time, as execution can start even before the whole design is complete.
