Which PDM do you use?
Our preferred method is design-bid-build.
Why choose design-bid-build?
The process of DBB provides our clients with the overall costs for the
project prior to commencement. We take great pride in delivering all
projects in a timely manner and on budget.
What are the benefits?
It’s of great importance for our clients to realize all costs associated with
their project prior to any work being performed. By utilizing DBB, we’re able
to analyze all costs associated with the project and adjust the design if we
foresee costs which would exceed the budget.
What are the drawbacks?
A lengthened design process; as bids are acquired, a redesign is often
implemented for budget purposes.

Turner Construction
Which PDM do you use?
We execute projects under multiple delivery methods, however, our
preference is design-build.
Why choose design-build?
We believe it brings the highest and best value to our clients, their projects
and the end users.
What are the benefits?
Individuals and organizations must drop personal agendas and operate
with full transparency. Doing so allows all parties to focus on one singular
goal: project success. Allowing a team to operate (collaboratively) where
issues can be crushed rapidly, results in less waste, better value and a more
efficient delivery of the project. Our clients also benefit by the speed to
bringing these projects to market.
What are the drawbacks?
Owners must be comfortable giving up some of design control. Design-
build is a mindshift and requires owners, designers, contractors to partner,
collaborate and be vulnerable.
