Design/Build

Design/Build – A traditional type of builder, harking back to the Medieval master craftsman who oversaw both the design and construction of cathedrals. In reality, no one person ever did this by themselves. Today’s design/build operations divide the work between teams, just like in the old days. Design/build teams emphasize design while being more practical than architects. They usually take pride in the craft also. These teams can be efficient and cost competitive.
