Design-build: The new art of construction ArticlesBase Share
Design-build is new and admired contracting method provides significant cost and time savings for owners.

Now owner need not to deal with the architect and contractor separately, but meets the single person called design-build contractor who executes the functioning of both designing and building.

Dozens of firms angling to design, build, operate and finance the Ohio River Bridges Project will be in Louisville, Ohio, for two days this week for a closer look at the still-evolving plan for two new bridges and a redesigned Spaghetti Junction interchange.
