Drivers of Design-Build Lack of Cost Control Change Orders Litigious Nature of Design/Bid/Build Cost and Schedule Overruns Multiple Contracts Lack of Coordination Between Contracts Lack of Quality Selection Based on Cost Alone Early Identification of Total Project Costs allows for Earlier Bond Sale
Design-Build Goals Improve Project Delivery Accelerate Delivery Schedules Reduce Costs Improve Coordination Between Parties Reduce Risks, Claims, and Litigation Improve Quality Selection Based on Qualifications, Value, Cost, and Other Criteria i
Challenges to Design-Build D-B Seen as New and Untested Ensure Competitive Bid Process Quality Control New Contract Format State Used to Being in Control Approvals by State Regulatory Agencies Legislative Authority Required to Use D-B CEQA Process Can be More Difficult
Trends Towards Design-Build We re past. is Design-Build ild a good idea? US Army Corps of Engineer email dated July 18, 2011 Unclassified: Some very interesting information. Same Contractor, same facility type, same year of award: Design-Build Battalion HdQtrs: Design-Bid-Build Battalion HdQtrs: $265 SF $355 SF Let the Contractor (DB-er) provide the solution which is most efficient to his expertise/efficiencies and let him take responsibility for errors & omissions drastically lower cost/time growth. Save money, get more project, take on less risk, speed delivery and demand less resources in the field to manage.
