Example Two
- A ‘signature’ design may result
- Systems may be specified at this early stage before the design build specialist is involved
- There may be issues with buildability
- The design is over-budget, unaffordable to the client and has to be adapted to meet budget
As design build specialists we have been able to resolve this by taking design-intent drawings and offer alternative, look-alike solutions which meet the Employer’s Requirements, the design intent and which are affordable to the client (in some cases delivering cost savings 30% lower than the specified equivalent).
