The Crucial Role of Design in the Design and Construct
Design plays a crucial role in the Design and Construct (D&C) procurement method, which integrates design and construction services design and construction services under one contract. 1. Efficiency and Speed Design in the Design and Construct (D&C) method promotes seamless coordination between designers and constructors. This integration allows for simultaneous design and construction activities, significantly reducing the overall project timeline compared to traditional sequential approaches. Streamlined communication minimizes delays and ensures a more efficient workflow. 2. Cost Control and Budget Management Early involvement of constructors in the design phase enables accurate cost estimation and better budget management. This collaboration helps in identifying potential cost-saving opportunities through value engineering, ensuring that the project stays within budget without compromising quality. 3. Risk Mitigation Combining design and construction responsibi...
