| Abstract | Design and build is a method of project delivery in which the design and construction phases of a project are combined into the contract, usually awards on either a low bid or best-value basic. 1,2. In design-build, the A/E firm and construction contractor have an incentive to become and integrated team that works concurrently on the design and construction phase of different segments of a project, with the potential to expedite delivery and better control product quality and cost. However, design-build has a few drawbacks, as well. • The system's short-cut design process. Some steps are reduced • Owner has their own conceptual planning and schematic design which may not be done by professional A/E firm. The level of preliminary design will impact cost and quality in design development stage and construction stage also. • The builder is also the designer, it is only natural to expect that the designs will gravitate to technologies most preferable (read profitable) to the builder. • Inherent checks and balances between design and construction teams no longer independent. Even though Design–Build (DB) arrangements have several advantages, project contractors are still studying and improving it. This may be due to some inherent problems that both contractors and owners have to face in their D-B projects. This study investigates the problems and difficulties that design team of contractor deal with and how can help the contractor overcome these problems though design management. |
