Design and Build contract method is highly required. In order to compound knowledge for advantage and disadvantage for the Design and Build to our client, details are listed as below.AnalysisAdvantages and Disadvantages of type of contractAdvantages of Design and Build price reduction of the Costs, Time, and MistakesThese design and build contractors are specialists in appointing both design and construction experts and making the process much easier for the property owner. For example, there is no need to ask v ariety of the contractors to carry out all fonts of the building project and arrangements with other subcontractorsIndividual responsible party it is efficient to avoid conflict and confuse any communication between the various parties involvementCosts saving Under a responsible party, it is more efficient due to avoidable duplication of men and both the design and building processes in the same company, the information between the two coincides. That means the cost of reconstruction work will be tumefy controlled within budget because there is less possibility of miscommunication when the same design contractor is managing the two phases. Since the company is aware of the whole budget limitation, she is able to pronto and accurately determine if particular changes would put the reconstruction work over budget.Time Saving The Design and Build process could eliminate other the competitive bidding process that often adds to the project completion time. Furthermore, if the desig n and construction portion occur at the same time, it would save lead time during the dustup of the reconstruction workImproved Risk Management Every aspect of the project has been carefully developed through the collaboration of the contractor, designer, builder, and client. Each party twisty is aware of what theyre responsible for and has coordinated their efforts with one another. The process becomes more efficient to reduce the amount of risk involvedIncreased Quality Control On the one hand, under a responsible party for every steps of the process promotes the more cohesive approach to the remodel. One party orchestrating each aspect of the remodel assures that the standards are met throughout and the goal is more accurately communicated On the other hand, one of the significant reasons that the clients tend to prefer adopting of the Design and Build contractors because of their talent to handle everything in house. This is very appealing to clients because it means that n o one will cut corners with quality of materials or labor. It is also very beneficial to have the same contractor work for the project from start to finish.Disadvantages of Design and BuildIn the past, the design phase and the build phase were separated. Firstly, the building is designed by fashion designers. Secondly, contractors analyze the architectural design and bid on the amount that it will cost to construct the project. Thirdly, once the bid amount is agreed upon, construction takes place. When the two phases are separated, it often leads to problems. It is not uncommon for the client to become unhappy when the design conflicts with what can be built. In order to eliminate this issue, you can now use design build contractors which integrate both the design and build phase together.ConclusionConstruction project delivery is changing before our eyes. Design-build once known as only one of alternative project delivery may now be the most preferred method. 1 G. William Quatma n (2003) The Architects Guide to Design-Build Services. After collecting the above information and the requirements from our client, the Design and Build contracting methodology for transportation projects represents a significant change in the way projects, which are managed and delivered by transportation agencies. An important aspect of the Design and Build contracting methodology is developing collaboration and the business relationship between the project engineering/architect and construction contractor. The interaction of the construction contractor with the designer working as a team represents a culture shift from the traditional design and construction project team work together to resolve project design and constructability issues to deliver a quality product in an efficient manner.There is need to perform quickly on the projects, as it is in emergency the owners put the teams together to get the work completion. The complicated problems are always solved the more effici ently and with optimal solutions through collaboration. Collaboration occurs throughout a Design and Build project, not only within the Design and Build / construction team, but also with the owners.
