Design Build

Division 15 performs comprehensive mechanical design services on either a single source design-build basis or as a design-assist partner.

Our early involvement allows us to provide the right solutions, sensitive to project schedules, constructability and budget parameters. Design-assist can be as simple as constructability and design review or the full completion of detailed design documents.

Design-build contracts are best suited for complex projects, where both initial and lifecycle costs of the systems are significant considerations. When the contractor is involved in the design phase of the project, the design-build process can provide significant cost savings over traditional plan and spec contracts. The earlier that cost savings are taken into consideration, the larger the impact.

Advantages of design-build work includes:

  • Allowing multiple functions to start during the design phase accelerates project delivery. 
  • The design-build team can establish firm pricing early in the project, due to  increased accuracy. 
  • Establishing a single source of responsibility streamlines the experience for the project owner and pushes risk to the design-build team. 
  • The designer works closely with the builder to ensure overall constructability and the most cost-effective construction solutions, eliminating conflict during the construction phase.
