What are the benefits of design-build?

• Enables clients to deal only with one party, VPM, which has overall responsibility for quality, cost and schedule.
• Frees clients to focus on communicating their needs and timely decision-making in collaboration with the designer and builder.
• Encourages effective collaboration among the client, designer and constructor resulting in a smoother process, excellent design and construction and timely delivery.
• Minimizes the costly and time consuming bidding process, leaving more time to implement cost-saving ideas during the project.
• Frees owners from the administrative burden of coordinating and arbitrating between separate design and construction contracts.
• Provides owners/clients with early knowledge of what the project will cost.
• Ensures owners/clients play an integral role in planning, designing and constructing the building.
