In a Design/Build (D/B) project, the contractor and architect form a single entity to deliver a complete project based on a conceptual plan provided by the District. This method allows for greater control over the schedule, quality of work, and the efficiency of the project as conflicts between design and construction are significantly reduced. Under a Design/Build delivery, the contracts are retained by the contractor and not the District. The District has found that Design/Build provides the greatest overall value to taxpayers, and the majority of all future projects will utilize this method.
