Design-Build is a construction delivery method that provides owners with a single point of contact for both the design and construction phases of a project. One entity holds single-source responsibility and contractual risk for every aspect of a build – from estimation, assessments and pre-construction to architecture, schematics, engineering, subcontracting, construction and post-construction. This entity, the Design-Builder, manages all contracts with companies, such as subcontractors, equipment vendors and materials providers.

The Design-Build process has five main phases:

1. Selecting a Design-Builder
2. Pre-construction assessments
3. Architectural design
4. Construction
5. Post-construction

But unlike other construction methods, the phases overlap. All team members collaborate throughout the process to provide rapid project delivery.

At Christianbelle Electric we aim to find you savings throughout the design and construction. We have the credentials, experience and expertise to execute your project in a fast cost effective time frame. We provide:

1. Rapid Delivery- Design-Build offers rapid delivery because design and construction happen concurrently and because there’s only one selection phase instead of two. This delivery method turns otherwise impossible timeframes into reality.
2. Smooth Process- Design-Build reliably provides no headaches, teams collaborate and clients are pleased. The single source responsibility of Design-Build means there’s no conflicting recommendations from contractor and architect. Instead one entity has total accountability for any and all construction and design elements.
3. Better solutions & value- With Design-Build, there’s no need to limit solutions to traditional ideas. The job is the boss. So teams are only limited by what’s right for the job. As ideas come to the table, teams work as one unit to analyze them, in full transparency, so owners are assured of getting the best materials, siting, schedule, design and more. This communication process makes it possible for clients to see more options, make better informed decisions and realize a better value.
