Design Build Delivery Method
31
Trend in Commercial Roofing

• The Design Build Delivery Method
• The Design Build Process Gives an Owner One
  Single Point of Contact
• Turn Key Delivery From Architectural and
  Engineering Design Through The Final Punch List

32
Trend in Commercial Roofing

• Advantages of Design Build Process
• Single Source Accountability
• Design Build Firm is responsible for all aspects
  of the project
• Accelerates Completion Dates
• Specifications/Drawing completed in 10-14 days
  
• Optimizes Project Efficiencies
• Other trades can be included in the process

33
Trend in Commercial Roofing

• Eliminates Change Orders and Cost Overruns
• Firm price is determined at the onset of the
  project
• Eliminates Re-Designs
• Design-Builder is 100 accountable for all
  outcomes
• Guarantees Specified Performance
• Design-Builder guarantees project is delivered on
  time and in budget
