Connect the design with the construction work
Room layouts, materials, equipment requirements and site conditions influence both the design and the work required to build it. A design-build approach brings those discussions into the same delivery team. The agreement should name the responsible design professionals and explain how their work connects to construction.
Decide whether the approach fits your project
Consider the information you have, the outcomes you need and the choices you are ready to make. The owner still needs to review layouts, finishes, allowances and major commitments. If the design is already developed or the designer is retained separately, compare the actual proposed arrangement with other delivery options.
Make decisions at defined stages
Set review points for the concept, developed design, pricing and construction release. Explain what is settled and what remains an assumption at each point. Share the intended use, property information and design status with AmeriConstruction to discuss the team and next planning step.
What to compare in a written proposal
- Owner requirements and agreed design stages
- Contract structure and named design professionals
- Owner review points, pricing assumptions and allowances
- Construction release, changes and handover responsibilities
