Design-Build
In this case, the Owner hires one entity to serve both as the construction manager and the design professional. The design-build entity is responsible for delivering both the design documents (plans and specs) and completing construction.
Pros:
- Builder input during design
- Price guaranteed
- Single point of responsibility for construction
- Fast-track delivery opportunity
Cons:
- Potential loss of Owner control
- One entity – loss of checks & balances
