Design build is a relatively simple concept, defined by the construction industry as a process of delivering a construction project in a more integrated manner. The design phase and building phase of the project is delivered by one provider. This method of organizing a project is often undertaken in order to significantly reduce the time taken to complete the project.
The term should not be confused with the term ‘design bid build’, as they are entirely different and contradictory ideas of how a construction project should be conceived and delivered. Design bid build means that the construction and design components of a project are delivered by entirely different entities. This separation has become regarded by many as being somewhat cumbersome and inefficient.
There are a number of considerable advantages to combining the elements of the project into one unified whole. This allows information and ideas to flow more smoothly, and reduces possible elements of friction and dispute between organizations who should be looking to work together. This kind of combination also means that one organization assumes legal responsibility for the work.
This latter point is important in case any serious problems occur with the structure being erected it is clear at whom the finger of litigation should be pointed. A number of disparate parties could lead to such a dispute becoming extremely complicated. This only adds to the potential costs of a project and could actually see the whole thing scuppered.
Another important advantage to adopting this more streamlined and efficient approach is the likely profit from the work. As one entity, all the various factions and units working on the project share the same commitment to keeping costs low. It is much more straightforward for costs to be assessed on a collective basis.
Communication between the different elements working on the project is also rendered much simpler by integrating a project in this way. This makes the organization of the administration of the project much easier. Matters such as wages and payments to sub-contractors or suppliers are handled with much greater convenience when they are being managed by one company.
Another considerable benefit to organizing a project in this way means that the time taken to complete the work is reduced. This is obviously a considerable advantage when time constraints are one of the factors to consider, often an issue when a project has historical remains on site, or is a part of an important sector of transport infrastructure. The quality of the work is also often of a higher standard, with the different elements less disparate and communication between them much more effective.
Design build as a concept makes the process of completing a construction project much more streamlined. This means that many of the problems which often arise as a result of miscommunication between client and service provider are often effectively reduced. This simplification of the process not only has a significant impact on the time schedule of a project, but also has positive implications for the cost of delivery.
