Design-Build
We have found that the best solution for most of our customers' requirements
is the design-build process. Simply put, Design-Build creates a single
contract between the Owner and the Design-Builder, who takes complete
responsibility for all aspects of planning, design, and construction
of the project. Because the Phoenix team has such depth of experience
in the design and construction of healthcare work, we guide every
detail of programming, planning, design, plan review, construction,
and agency approvals. The advantages of this process are:
- Single source responsibility for all project requirements.
Phoenix is solely accountable for the success of the project.
- Accelerated project schedule. Tasks that are sequential
in the traditional "design, bid, build" process become
parallel with the design-build approach, shortening the overall
project time and allowing earlier revenue generation.
- Elimination of the potential adversarial relationship
which can develop in the traditional owner-architect-builder structure.
- "Open-book" accounting. The customer has
intimate knowledge of the details of the project estimate and
costs from the beginning to the end. Competitive pricing is achieved
through multiple subcontractor bids for all trades and materials.
The customer may introduce subcontractors and suppliers that may
be separately known to him.
Experience has shown that the design-build process results in shorter
project schedules, lower costs, elimination of change orders resulting
from design error, and collaborative long-term relationships between
Phoenix and its customers.
