Design/Build
What is "Design/Build?" Design/Build is
the design/construction technique in which design and construction
are combined under one contract to reduce the time necessary to complete
a project. Traditional highway construction projects are developed
in four distinct phases:
- Preliminary Planning
- Final Engineering (Design)
- Selection of a construction contractor (Bid)
- Project Construction
Design/Build is heralded by the construction industry as a modern
approach that encourages innovation, allows shorter construction time,
and promotes environmental stewardship. This method has been successfully
implemented on many of the largest and most complicated highway construction
projects in the country. The time saved by Design/Build translates
into a significant reduction in construction impacts for the residents
and businesses along highway 20.
