The Design-Build Process

At Syncon, we adopt a client-centric strategy in our design-build projects. We manage every phase from concept to completion with a focus on efficiency and accountability. This integrated workflow minimizes delays, controls costs, and enhances quality. Our experienced team collaborates closely with clients to understand their needs, ensuring each project aligns with their vision while meeting strict schedule, budgetary, safety, and quality standards. With a strong track record in federal, municipal, and private sector projects, Syncon leverages the design-build method to provide timely and cost-effective construction solutions.

How Design-Build Streamlines the Construction Process

The Design-Bid-Build (DBB) method follows a linear process where the project owner hires a designer to complete the plans, solicits contractors’ bids, and selects a builder to execute the project. While this method provides a clear separation of roles, it sometimes leads to longer timelines, budget overruns, and potential conflicts between design and construction.

In contrast, the Design-Build (DB) method integrates design and construction under a single contract, fostering collaboration. This streamlined approach reduces project risks, accelerates completion, and controls costs by eliminating the need for separate bidding and redesign phases. Design-Build is often preferred for its:

  • Practical preliminary budgets
  • Minimize time loss and unexpected outcomes
  • Financial oversight throughout the design stage
  • Enhanced innovative and cost-effective options
  • Assessment of alternative costs
  • Reduced change orders
  • Accelerated project timelines
  • Unified source accountability
  • Better risk management strategies
