What is The Design-Build Method?
The design-build method is a strategy/blueprint commonly used by contractors in the field to wield professional, efficient results when it comes to projects of all types. To explain in more detail, the design-build method is a project delivery system that includes only one contract between the owner and a design-build entity. This will include all specialists, subcontractors, and sub-consultants. In simplest terms, this means that there is a single point of responsibility for every decision regarding the construction and design of a project.
