The Design/Build team makes your construction project happen
Your role as owner is critical in choosing the team for your project and in establishing acceptable project guidelines, including goals, budget and timeline. Under your guidance, it’s the team’s responsibility to make your project a reality.
Building your professional team starts with your choice of the general contractor — the team member that will negotiate and hold design and engineering accountable for delivering performance that exceeds your expectations.
In a Design/Build project, look for a general contractor that has:
• A strong belief in the Design/Build process as the right way to build your project• Substantial experience in similar Design/Build projects
• Outstanding working relationships with the design and subcontractor communities
• High ethical standards in treating all stakeholders fairly
• A superior level of professionalism
• LEED accredited professionals and experience in sustainable design
