Design / Build Construction
|
Choosing a contractor early in the planning stage, gives practical advice and cost input to the owner, concurrently with design work. This facilitates budget control, and can shorten the project schedule. Today, many owners are bypassing the competitive bid method and turning to either the negotiated contract or the design/build approach. |

Design / Build - A Winning Team!
Design/build is a form of project delivery in which owners contract with a single entity, the design-builder, to provide both design and construction services. The design-build entity may be a single firm, a group of experts, or a joint venture. Typically, the team includes an architect and a contractor, who may be partners in the undertaking or one a subcontractor to the other. Principal advantages of a design/build contract are the single point of responsibility and the potential to collapse otherwise independent phases and therefore save valuable time & money.
A design/build procurement method provides single-source responsibility to a client with all the benefits of proven design, engineering, and construction experience to provide the most cost- effective structure to meet the design, cost control, and quality requirements of any program. Bailey Construction has developed lasting relationships with many architects and engineers and has worked closely with them on numerous occasions to deliver design/build facilities which meet clients' needs.
Our philosophy on design-build projects is to become a project development team member and to think and act as an owner. By assuming the role of owner, we analyze all design and construction issues from a pro-and-con perspective. Such issues are then presented to the client with a pre-studied "what-if" evaluation. Our mission is to serve clients with complete construction services.
