Design-Bid-Build For Manufacturing Facilities
A traditional project delivery method most suited for less complex projects.
McCownGordon provides general contracting services for clients who prefer a traditional design-bid-build approach. Utilizing a select and experienced group of pre-qualified trade partners during the bid process helps us maintain our reputation of high project quality. Count on us to lead the way to a successful project with our quality control, safety programs and value engineering.
Advantages
- Owner controls design and construction via separate contracts
- Design is completed prior to construction
- Construction cost is fixed at contract award
- Low bid cost, maximum competition
Considerations
- Requires significant owner expertise and resources
- Puts owner at risk to contractor for design errors
- Design and construction are sequential, typically resulting in longer schedules; procurement begins once project is bid
- Construction cost unknown until contract award
- No contractor input in design, value engineering or life-cycle costs
- Any design changes after bid will result in change orders
