Canada's Leading Builder for Cost Control - On time and on budget is the Superior Way

Why Choose Design | Build?
Design Build was once considered an “alternative” way to deliver construction projects, but nowadays design-build construction is the chosen method for nearly half of all the nation’s projects. This delivery method is preferred because it saves time and money by encouraging innovation and collaboration. Design Build is a system where one organization, the design-builder, takes on both designing and building responsibilities for a single project.
This delivery method contrasts with other systems in which there are separate contracts for each phase of the project. Design Build’s defining characteristic is this single contract that integrates designer and constructor roles. Having only one point of contact simplifies everything else about the design-build commercial construction process as well. One entity heading up work allows for a more streamlined approach from start to finish.
Streamlining project delivery by having a single contract between the owner and the design build commercial construction team fosters collaboration and teamwork from the beginning. This type of relationship is better than designers and builders working separately because it results in a successful project that is completed faster, more cost effectively, and with optimized quality. Change orders and disputes are rare in well-organized, performance-based design-build projects. This is because the sole source responsibility of a single contract for both design and construction places the responsibility for coordinating all project elements squarely on the shoulders of the design-build team.

Design-Build is the best performing delivery system for both schedule and cost control
CII/Pankow recently took another look at the nation’s groundbreaking design-build performance research from 20 years ago and discovered that Design-build still outperforms other delivery systems in cost, schedule, growth measures, construction speed and delivery.
The Future is Bright for Design Build
Despite the challenging circumstances brought about by COVID-19, design build delivery methods continue to gain popularity and show impressive growth. This is according to market analysis conducted by researchers at FMI, which predicts even greater growth in design-build projects in the next five years (2021-2025).
