Design-build | Benefits
Izmi Builders saves time, and often money,
because the span of time required to put the finished design out to bid and to
obtain bidders for design is eliminated. In construction, time is literally
money.
- Izmi Builders eliminates the need for a full design before construction, allowing us to save time by “fast tracking” construction.
- Izmi Builders provides the opportunity for designers and constructors to work together on an integrated collaborative team. This teamwork approach results in greater innovation and fewer issues with constructability of the project in the field.
- Design-build is the only delivery method that shifts significant design risk away from the public owner to the party best able to manage, price and insure the risk, Izmi Builders|Design-build.
- The owner has the advantage of single-source contracting because the designer and the constructor are on the same design-build team. The result of using Izmi Builders is fewer disputes between the designer and the builder because those disputes are resolved between Izmi Builders team members before they reach the owner or the courts.
- Fewer disputes mean fewer change orders, fewer delays and greater price certainty.
- Design-build permits constructors to order long lead items earlier in the process, often during the design phase, further shortening the time period for construction and allowing constructors to lock in early pricing.
- Owners engaged in a design-build project have many opportunities for providing input into the process.
- Owners establish the performance criteria that they need for the project.
- Owners who use qualifications-based selection may tailor the procurement process to meet the needs of the project and select the best qualified proposer, rather than being bound solely by price.
- Owners meet regularly with their design-build team to provide input and approve the direction of the design-build team.
