What is “design-build”?
The design-build delivery model gives clients the benefit of single-source service. In other words, the design-build contractor is solely responsible to the client for the design and construction of his or her facility. Design-build is an efficient and cost-effective way to meet the design and quality requirements of any construction project while providing superior budget control and a project schedule. Design-build project delivery requires careful planning and professional execution. Berghammer Construction Corporation is an experienced, successful design-build contractor.
The design-build delivery method was selected as a way to save time and money. Compared to the more “traditional” design-bid-build method where the design work is completed in its entirety before contractors bid on the job and then order materials and perform the work, the design-build method streamlines the process by enabling construction to begin before design work is complete. This helps minimize price escalation from rising material and labor costs, and facilitates faster project completion to help minimize inconveniences to the public.
