Design/BuiId is a specialized team relationship. It is reflected through contractual agreement between the client/owner, architect/designer, and builder/contractor. This arrangement enhances services for all team members. The client/owner enjoys a single source for all design and construction services. Forming the team at the beginning of the project increases communication, provides immediate feedback on methods and budgets, reduces revisions and cost-overruns, and results in fewer schedule adjustments. In the fast-track method, design proceeds concurrently with construction, allowing the project to be completed more quickly. Design/Build combines the best of creative design and effective cost control by assuring the client that the work will be delivered on time and within budget.
