The traditional method of building a building was to have the owner contract with a designer, and subsequently to contract with a builder to do the actual construction. The problem comes from the fact that there was often confusted communications between the designer and the builder. Of course the designer and the builder had differing agendas, they each had different capabilities, different jobs. The result was unhappiness, if not law suits.
One answer to this conflict was the concept of using one contractor to both design and build the building. The result has been a 6% lower cost, and 12% faster (33% faster if design time is included) than design-bid-build projects.
This book is a survey of design-build from his history, a description of how it works, a report on numerous projects from the real world, legal/insurance/contract information, off shore design, new advances in technology such as RFID and GPS.
In short this is a book to take the owner/designer/contractor to a level of understanding where he can work in a design/build environment.
