What is the Design-Bid-Build (DBB)
○ DBB is a sequential project delivery method, dividing project responsibilities among team members.
○ It results in longer project schedules due to sequential design, bidding, and construction phases.
2) Design -build
○ It is a single entity that completes all work from design to construction, leading to shorter project schedules.(Have everything needed in one company)
Construction Management
○ A separate management firm provides construction management services, completing traditional general contractor services.
○ A construction manager is hired early in the design process to consult on design, cost, and scheduling issues.
