MCP DESIGN BUILD DELIVERY

sep

The Owner manages only one contract with a single point of responsibility. The designer and contractor work together from the beginning, as a team, providing unified project recommendations to fit the Owner’s schedule and budget. Any changes are addressed by the entire team, leading to collaborative problem solving and innovation. While single-source contracting is the fundamental difference between design-build and the old ways, equally important is the culture of collaboration inherent in design-build. This leads to faster project delivery, with more reliable performance and less cost and schedule growth.

Digging Deeper

PROJECT COST

Projects using design-build (DB) cost less per square foot when compared to construction manager at risk (CMR) and design-bid-build (DBB). Design-build projects also average less cost growth than a comparably scoped project using CMR and DBB.

PROJECT SCHEDULE

Design-build was also the best performing project delivery system in terms of schedule growth, delivery speed and construction speed.

BEHIND THE NUMBERS

DESIGN-BUILD IS THE FASTEST GROWING, MOST POPULAR DELIVERY SYSTEM IN THE NATION

Design-build will account for nearly half of all construction spending by 2021 with spending increasing 18% over the 2018-2021 period.
