What is Design Build?
It is a construction project delivery system where, in contrast to traditional "design-bid-build" the design and construction aspects are contracted with a single entity known as the design build contractor. This system is used to minimize the projects risk for an owner and reduce to delivery schedule by overlapping the design phase and construction phase of a project. Where the design-builder is the contractor, and the design professionals are typically retained directly by the contractor. The design/build concept eliminates communication issues between separate design builder entities.
