In the last decade, the Design Build (DB) method of contracting has been increasing steadily. Since 1982, the volume of domestic DB contracts has grown tenfold and now represents 23 percent of the non-residential market. Both private and public owners are using this method to accrue savings in both costs and time by streamlining the project delivery process. Like all construction methods, design build can have its disadvantages and problems. If all parties involved have misunderstandings and disputes about roles and responsibilities spelled out in the contract, the risk is escalation of claims against the contractual partners.
Topics:
• Benefits of Design Build
• Differentiating the design services and the actual work
• Defining role, responsibilities and the parties requirements
• Contract documents and statements of service requirements
• Understanding risks and flow down liabilities
• Overcoming conflicts and disputes within the contract
