Ground Up
Under Design/Build the project Architect and General Contractor become a team at the beginning, designing and managing the project together.
Advantages include reduced construction time and cost.
The design and construction team can work together to find efficient solutions, reducing project cost. Common issues can be avoided when the General Contractor is integrated into the process from the outset.
Value Engineering can become a factor where innovative solutions are created. Collaboration is a driving part of the CCS philosophy as well as any Design/Build strategy.
