Design and Build System

Design & Build

Mathieu and Mitchell recommend Design & Build as the most efficient project delivery system. It means we take responsibility for all design and construction services. It gives you, the client, a single point of reference for the project which helps to reduce risks, delays and misunderstandings. It is also more cost effective and faster than the usual design/bid/build method.

Design & Build projects are completed 33% faster
while savings of 15% per square foot are regularly achieved.
(Reference: according to who/what?)

The Design & Build method is an evolution of the Master Builder concept which is the oldest building procurement method – in use for over four thousand years. (The term architect derives from Ancient Greece where Arkhi meant ‘master’ and tekton meant worker/builder. Their buildings too have lasted a couple of thousand years!)
