Challenge Design-Build Project Delivery Addressed
With a unified team collaborating from the project start, project goals could be better understood and achieved. The firms were able to forge a strong relationship starting with programming, which allowed each to holistically understand the goals of design and construction. It also reduced RFI’s and project schedule.
