"Design/Build"

 
         

A Streamlined Construction Method....

From concept to completion of a project, with J&F Constructions Design/Build services we assume single-source responsibility for design and construction. Under Design/Build, the owner contracts directly with J&F Construction, and we assume all liability for the project.

The Design/Build approach differs from the traditional method of awarding contracts separately for design and construction. With J&F Construction, we also assume the design responsibility for the owner.

 

         

 

Advantages of Design/Build....

  • With a cooperative spirit between the owner, J&F Construction, and the design team, the best ideas are achieved which benefit project design, performance, and quality.

  • Construction costs are minimized by using advanced systems and methods which J&F knows are cost effective.

  • Design/Build allows for special services such as preliminary feasibility studies, value engineering, and life cycle costing analysis.

  • The Design/Build approach provides a non-adversarial relationship and encourages team members to prevent problems together.

  • Under Design/Build, J&F Construction often guarantees the maximum project cost to the owner as early as at completion of the design schematic drawing stage.

  • Design/Build produces realistic project completion dates.

  • Time is saved because construction can begin before design is completed (fast tracking).

  • With J&F Construction, architectural and engineering fees are determined from the beginning, therefore they are kept to a minimum.

  • Change orders are held in check because the owner and J&F Construction, as Design/Build, work together throughout the entire project.
