Are some projects particularly appropriate for Design-Build?
While DB is not appropriate for all highway projects, certain project features and circumstances encourage its consideration. Medium to large projects with a well-defined scope, yet more complex in nature, are well-suited to DB. So are projects that can benefit from the early application of innovative concepts in project design, construction and development. Projects with a high sense of urgency (e.g., natural disasters, facility failures), or that involve direct user financing (e.g., toll roads) are also likelier to benefit from DB.
