Why Design/Build?

It’s a win-win situation for everyone involved in the project when using the Design/Build approach, where the project plans, schedule and budget are formulated simultaneously, early in the process during the pre-construction phase. Design/Build saves the owner time and money, expedites the timing start-to-finish, and eliminates any unwelcome surprises. Design/Build offers owners single source responsibility on the project, an environment of partnership and teaming between the Design/Builder, specialty contractors and owner of the project. Specifically:

Save Money:

To control costs - as Design/Builders, Paul Risk Associates offers clients a guaranteed total project cost - before the working design starts. This guarantees the client can afford the project and can arrange funding early in design development.

The best time to control project costs is in the pre-construction phase - not after a full set of design documents has gone out for construction bids. The project is designed with the budget in mind.


	More about Who We Are: History “The PRA Way” Quality Statement Our Team

	“PRA has been supplying reliable cost-effective design and construction services to the Westtown School for over 35 years. Working with them is more like having a partner than a contractor.” R. Philip Genther Westtown School

Maximize Value:

Design/Build offers building owners maximum cost effectiveness during pre-construction, design and construction. It offers long term maintenance and operating efficiency by maximizing the value of each project dollar spent.

With Design/Build, clients have more flexibility in decision making within an established budget framework.

Save Time:

The Design/Build process shortens the overall time frame from start of design development to building occupancy. For example, because a budget for the project is established up front, such services as sitework, foundation and steel contracts can be bid and awarded before the total design is complete.

Single Source Responsibility - With Design/Build, a single entity orchestrates all aspects of the project; from conceptual designs and permitting, to managing the architectural design, engineering and construction, through Certificate of Occupancy. The owner needs to make only one phone call to have questions about his/her project answered.
