DESIGN-BUILD
Design-Build is the fastest growing and most popular method to deliver construction projects in the US and Europe. We are leading the Design-Build revolution in East Africa.
Design-Build is a method of project delivery in which one entity (e.g. BuildX Studio) works under a single contract with the project owner to provide design and construction services. One entity, one contract, one unified flow of work from initial concept through to completion.
Added value:
Reduced Risk
With only a single point of responsibility, and a more unified team, your risk is significantly reduced.
Optimised Cost
Project management efficiencies can reduce overall cost, whilst design-build contracts offer greater cost surety.
Greater Speed
Design-build projects finish faster and can be accelerated with overlap of design and construction work-stages.
Higher Quality
Early alignment of design and construction expertise benefits final built quality.
More Innovation
Enhanced collaboration across multiple disciplines enables innovative solutions to emerge.
Better Flexibility
Changes in design, even late in the project, are cheaper, faster and easier to arrange.
