Design and Build

For many clients, the advantages of design and build contracts, these being, maximum overlap between design and construction, design competition, construction expertise reflected in design development, early commitment to maximum price and usually a shorter period from inception to start on site provides a low risk, cost effective, bespoke solution to their capital project requirements.

However, design and build is not a panacea for not knowing what you are doing in construction procurement. Successful design and build contracts require successful management: feasibility studies and initial budgets must be accurate; Employer's Requirements must be comprehensive and unambiguous, clearly defining the required works whilst maintaining maximum design and specification flexibility and competition; suitable tenderers have to be selected; Contractors' Proposals must be evaluated and analysed for compliance and to determine best value; contract documents must correctly prepared for signature; and contract administration must be carried out correctly, effectively and efficiently once construction starts. V B Johnson provide expert design and build management service, from building inception to completion. Our training, methodology and live experience, from simple housing developments and industrial units to complex multi-million pound hospitals and office developments, puts us at the forefront of design and build management.
