Working together to ensure success
Design/Build/Assist is the fastest growing method of project delivery in the country. It’s not only popular among owners but is also becoming the method of choice for developers, contractors and design professionals.
Besides being cost effective, Design/Build/Assist creates a teamwork environment in which all parties work together to ensure success. This results in a higher level of quality and workmanship, a faster turnaround time, a more acute attention to detail and a lower risk of error.
Benefits of Design/Build/Assist
A study performed in a post-doctoral research report entitled “A Comparison of United States Project Delivery Systems” by Mark D. Konchar at Penn State University highlights the benefits of the Design/Build/Assist method:
- Unit cost (final project cost divided by the area) was at least 4.5% less than Construction Management at Risk and 6% less than Design/Bid/Build
- Construction speed (facility gross square footage divided by the construction time) was at least 7% faster than Construction Management at Risk and 12% faster than Design/Bid/Build
- Delivery speed (facility gross footage divided by the design and construction time) was at least 23% faster than Construction Management at Risk and 33% faster than Design/Bid/Build
