Danto Builders Pros and Cons of Design-Build Construction | Page 22

With this traditional approach, there are two separate contracts and they can interfere
with each other through conflicting ideas on the practical construction of a blueprint or
even predicted costs.
In these worst-case scenarios, people can face the scenario where the holder of each
contract blames the other for cost overruns while the people who are building the house
are left holding the bill.
Design-Build projects are a fairly new concept that attempts to eliminate the dual
approach to construction by offering a get-it-all in one store design. If, for instance, a
business owner is looking to finally leave his lease and plans on constructing a small
building to house his company, he would only approach one company, as opposed to
two, with the Design-Build approach.
