DESIGN & BUILD as an alternative to more traditional contract types has a proven track record of success for projects where:

    •  Prompt completion is considered essential.

    •  The construction of the building to be provided is relatively
       straightforward.

    •  Few variations are envisaged.

    •  A 'good' quality level is required.

    •  A high degree of price certainty is essential.

    •  The risk of cost or time slippage must be avoided.

Design & Build brings with it a number of cost-related benefits including early input from the Contractor on buildability.
