Design Build Approach
Design Build allows the award of one contract for design and construction (Turn-Key). Owner, Architect/Engineer and Contractor work as a team to design and build a project. Design Build helps in saving time over competitive bidding.
Construction Manager Approach
Managing activities over and above normal architectural and engineering services conducted during the pre-design, design and construction phases, that contribute to the control of time and cost. The Construction Manager guides you through and purchasing and contracting with sub-contractors.
