DESIGN BUILD PROJECTS. | Certified General Contractors

CGC is a master builder.
Design-build is sometimes compared to the “master builder” approach, one of the oldest forms of construction procedure .Design-build is a method of project delivery in which oneentity, in this case, Certified General Contractors, works under a single contract with the client to provide design and construction services.

The obvious benefit is one entity, one contract, one unified flow of work from initial concept through completion. No finger-pointing or communication issues as is inherent with design-bid-build arrangements. Because of this, design build is also known as single-source responsibility. Across the country and around the world, design-build successfully delivers office buildings, schools, stadiums, transportation and water infrastructure projects with superior results. These results include:

Faster Delivery – through collaborative project management
Cost Savings – an integrated team fosters efficiency and innovation
Better Quality – design-builders meet performance needs, not minimum design requirements, often developing innovations to deliver a better project than initially imagined
Singular Responsibility – one entity is held accountable for cost, schedule and performance
Decreased Administrative Burden – clients can focus on the project rather than managing disparate contracts.
Reduced Risk – the design-build team assumes additional risk
Reduced Litigation Claims - by closing warranty gaps owners virtually eliminate litigation claims

One Contract, One Integrated Team
Design-build streamlines project delivery through a single contract between the owner and the design-build team. This simple but fundamental difference saves money and time by transforming the relationship between designers and buildersinto an alliance which fosters collaboration and teamwork. United from the outset of every project, an integrated team can readily incorporate BIM and LEED certification goals.

CGC is happy to deploy a design-build approach to your next construction project.
