This “Five D” design/build methodology facilitates a true team approach to both final design and construction, by closely integrating input from end user, builder and designer during all phases of the project.

By assembling the team (owner, designer and builder) at the onset of the project, design/build provides each team member the opportunity to interface closely, communicate, and work together toward a common goal during the entire process.  Consequently, it becomes a simple matter to explore all of the viable options and the associated cost ramifications, with immediate feedback from the perspectives of owner, builder and designer.

The net result is cost effective construction, with the needs, desires and budget constraints of the user continually incorporated.  At the same time, all of the associated costs are precisely pinpointed, and the related schedule is closely tested.  With this program there should be no cost surprises after the design is completed.  When the design concept and accepted drawing package has been finalized, it has the implicit agreement from all team members that it is the optimal and most cost effective design solution.
