Design-build gives the owner the ability to contract with a single entity who bears the full responsibility for the design, quality, construction, and commissioning of a project. The integration of the engineering and construction functions provides significant time savings and the potential for innovation resulting in overall cost savings to an owner.nnHaving engineers and construction professionals on the same team provides the owner with a single point of accountability, allows for construction-related input in every stage of the design, likely reduces time and construction costs, and enables the use of construction best practices. This fosters collaboration and trust in the work environment, with all parties sharing common objectives and working as a team to identify the best-value solutions for the owner.
