The Design-Build method of building offers our clients the opportunity for Single-Source Responsibility for both design and construction services.

Utilizing the Design-Build process, the RKC Team is able to expedite the schedule and save weeks over the conventional design-bid-build process. The design and construction schedules can overlap and thereby save our clients time and money.

The Design-Build approach forms a Building Team relationship between the Owner, Design Team and General Contractor.

Benefits of the Building Team relationship include:

• Team cooperation between Owner, Designer and Builder
• Eliminates adversarial roles
• More flexibility in design
• Economical design through Value Engineering studies and cooperation
• Early determination of budget costs to avoid “Bid Day Surprises.”
• Avoids overlaps or omissions in bidding documents
• Specialty contractors are pre-qualified for capability and performance
• Early purchase of long lead time items, or items with pending price increases
• Lower design fees
• Earlier building occupancy
