As your partner in the construction process, GEM will work closely with you and the design team to ensure that the design meets your requirements and can be built within the established budget and timeframe. During design coordination, our pre-construction professionals have the greatest potential to identify value engineering options that could result in significant cost-savings. By involving GEM at this early stage, clients can avoid significant re-design costs from late-phase design changes.
Project Delivery: Design/Build
The Design/Build method of project delivery is characterized by a contractual arrangement where Design/Build contractor is retained by the owner to deliver a complete project, including design services. A budget estimate is provided by the team early in the project, based on preliminary design criteria. The Design/Build team then develops drawings and specifications that fulfill the criteria and complete the design, without exceeding the project budget. Bids are then solicited, and awards made to subcontractors.
The Design/Build method of project delivery is best suited to construction projects that are highly time and cost sensitive, and for private owners who don’t have the time or resources to manage the design and construction process. Click here for our design/build experience.
