MYTH: Design-Build is More Expensive than Traditional Build

Design-build is more cost-efficient than traditional project delivery. This is because the project budget is identified early in the process and continuously maintained through a highly collaborative process.

Under GVS’s design-build methods, the designer and builder work shoulder-to-shoulder in real-time. Speaking face-to-face, they avoid miscommunications that can occur within a set of construction documents. This saves time and money and, more importantly, minimizes costly disputes.

Many owners across the country are clamoring to have design-build as an option because they want to reap the benefits of increased innovation, less litigation, and faster delivery speed for their projects.
