The AEC industry is evolving from the traditional Design-Bid-Build approach to more integrated and collaborative project delivery methods. Although the sequential Design-Bid-Build model may seem straightforward, it often leads to silos, adversarial relationships, and a disconnect between the design vision and the reality of construction. Today, a more holistic and collaborative paradigm has emerged and is quickly becoming the preferred choice for sophisticated owners worldwide: Design-Build. Fostering True Collaboration and Innovation from Inception The primary advantage fueling the adoption of Design-Build lies in its inherent collaborative structure. Unl
