Design-Build

The Tricon Design-Build Approach

With a design build approach owners and developers can focus on project scope, end-user needs, and maximizing value rather than coordinate deliverables between architects, designers, engineers and contractors. Tricon offers our clients innovative planning and design services, expert value engineering, practical construction management expertise, and up-to-the-minute building techniques.

Benefits of the Design-Build Approach

• A Single Point of Project Responsibility

  The key advantage of an integrated design-build approach. With a single point of responsibility, owners save time and gain efficiencies by collaborating with a single point of contact to get things done with confidence, faster. 

• Reduces Total Project Cost

  With a design-build general contractor as the primary partner, owners reduce their own project workload in foregoing the coordination of contributing professionals and vendors. Time truly is money when it comes an efficient construction project. 

• Increases Speed of Completion

  As an additional benefit collaborating with a single point of responsibility, less time is spent reviewing progress, discussing change orders or communicating risk. More efficient administrative work adds up to faster delivery. 

• Outperforms Traditional Project Quality

  With responsibility assigned to the general contractor alone, studies of design-build versus traditional project quality, and the quality of customer service, have shown both to be higher and more consistent.  

• Encourages Innovation and Collaboration

  The design-build contractors can quickly solve problems and limit risk through innovative, project-specific use of materials and methods, as well as collaborate across the entire project team with ease.  

• Allows for Greater Flexibility Throughout the Project

  In addition to the flexibility to innovate, the design-build approach affords contractors broad flexibility in project timing, scheduling, sequencing and sourcing. The benefit of this flexibility is lower cost and faster delivery.  

• Minimizes Owner’s and Developer’s Risk

  A single point of responsibility in addition to broad flexibility and increased agility, provides a framework that inherently limits risk to quality, cost, and speed.
