"Design and build" is a project delivery method where a single entity is responsible for both the design and construction of a project. This approach streamlines communication and decision-making, as the same team handles all aspects, from initial concepts to final execution. It can lead to faster project completion and often reduces costs by minimizing the potential for miscommunication between designers and builders. In this method, the client typically provides a set of requirements or goals, and the design-build team develops a plan that meets those needs. This collaborative process allows for greater flexibility and innovation, as adjustments can be made more easily throughout the project lifecycle.
