Danto Builders Design-Build Project Delivery Approach | Page 16

What Is An Architect-Led Designer Build? As the term sounds, this approach is where an architect is responsible for the means of construction, safety procedures, techniques, and the well-being of everyone handling the project. They are in charge of the total cost of the project (both the design and construction phases), timings for substantial and final completion, all project delay costs if applicable, all safety procedures, costs of mechanics, and architect’s sub-consultants or subcontractors. In other words, the architect is the person controlling all design and construction services necessary to complete the project. To do this, the architect must obtain the contractor’s commercial general liability policies and proper licenses.
