Design-Build
As the most common project delivery, Design-Build projects consist of one contract that encompasses the entire design and construction teams. This method leans heavily on a culture of collaboration and communication between contractors, architects, and owners.
Design-Build Method
Design-Build (DB) is another collaborative delivery method, often used when a client seeks to have one point of project accountability and a single contract with a design-builder. The design-builder brings both construction and architectural/engineering expertise to the project. The client generally retains control over the choice of architect.
