What is Design/Build?

Design/Build is a system of contracting under which a single entity is responsible for overseeing the architectural/engineering design and the actual construction work.

What is TEAM Design/Build?

The knowledge, experience, and viewpoint of three important resources are needed for a successful project. Bar Construction helps create a TEAM made up of the Owner, a group of Design Professionals, and the Contractor. The Design/Build Team is closely involved in producing a project which meets the owner's needs as well as acting as professional advisors. The owner deals with a unified team working together on his behalf instead of divided responsibility.

What are the Advantages of Design/Build?

The creation of a working partnership between the owner, the architect/engineer, and the contractor produce significant benefits for the owner. Some of these benefits are:

Single Source Responsibility - With the responsibility of design coordination and construction in the hands of a single entity, there is a single point of responsibility for quality and cost and schedule adherence. In addition, the contractor is able to establish and conform to early budget estimates.

Cost Savings - Design and construction personnel, working and communicating as a team, evaluate the alternative materials and methods efficiently and accurately. Value engineering and construcability are utilized continuously and more effectively when the designers and contractors work as one team during the entire design process.

Time Savings - Since design and construction are overlapped, and because re-bidding and re-design are eliminated, total design and construction time can be significantly reduced. Design/Build is ideal for the application of "fast track" construction techniques; material procurement can begin before the construction documents are complete. The resulting time savings translates into earlier occupancy for the owner.

Early Knowledge of Project Costs - Guaranteed maximum costs are known far earlier than in other delivery systems. As the design phase progresses, the contractor can simultaneously estimate construction costs and conceptualize the completed project.

"Bar Construction Company, Inc. is committed to the client from project development through project completion. Our primary goals are to work in harmony with the owner and to understand his requirements and to deliver a quality project, on time, and within budget."
