Design Build

The two main advantages of Design & Build with JFB Construction are:

First:

• Combine the knowledge of the construction team with the experience and planning expertise of the design team in the earliest stages to develop a product with constructability in mind
• In doing so, find ways to reduce construction costs and achieve optimum results thus preserving the functionality intended of the final project
• Lower construction costs will be realized as a result of increased constructability and value engineering aspects of design

Second:

• The other major advantage involves the ability to remove time from the finish date of a normally bid out contract
• Many projects are bid out with an extremely tight time-frame. By awarding the contract as a design-build contract, the contractor is established and early mobilization and construction activities are able to proceed concurrently with the design

Under a traditional contract:

• Construction cannot begin until after the design is finished
• The project is bid and awarded
• The team mobilizes
