How does design/build construction differ from design/bid/build construction?

  • In design/build construction, a single company called the design-builder contracts for both design and construction services.
  • In design/bid/build construction, the owner contracts with a design professional who develops the construction documents. The project goes through a lengthy and complicated bid process until a contractor is finally chosen and a project schedule can be finalized.
  • The single-point responsibility of the design-build method minimizes the owner’s financial risks. Overlapping the design and construction phases shortens the delivery schedule.
  • Design-build construction has become an accepted and trusted construction method in the United States and worldwide.

How does J. E. Horst approach design-build construction?

We understand how heavily you invest in your commercial and industrial buildings.

  • We listen to your ideas, discover your true needs, and help you find a solution.
  • We create a “design team” of contractors, owners, and design professionals. We utilize our in-house designers and contract with trusted outside architects and engineers.
  • The “design team” also offers suggestions and recommendations to provide structural and aesthetic quality and minimize costs.
  • By utilizing the design-build method, an owner gets a more accurate project cost much earlier in the design phase than with the traditional design-bid-build process.
  • Having a more accurate project cost earlier saves much time and money because the project design is “built” around the construction budget rather than developing a design and then calculating the cost.
