What Design - Bid - Build Means for Your Project

Tekton’s Design-Bid-Build (DBB) is the traditional projectdelivery method in which the owner contracts separately with a design team anda general contractor. The project is fully designed and documented before beingcompetitively bid to qualified contractors, with construction commencing aftera contract award. This approach provides clear separation between design andconstruction responsibilities and allows owners to compare bids based on acompleted set of plans and specifications. Design-Bid-Build is often preferredwhen project scope is well-defined, cost certainty through competitive biddingis a priority, and the owner desires a straightforward procurement process.

Why Owners Choose This Delivery Method

  • Design is completed before the project is bid to contractors.
  • The owner maintains separate contracts with the design team and general contractor.
  • Contractors compete based on a complete set of plans and specifications.
  • Provides a clear separation between design and construction responsibilities.
  • Typically offers strong price competition and a well-defined procurement process.
  • Is this the Right Fit?

    Owners with a clearly defined project scope and requirements. Public-sector projects that require competitive bidding. Projects where obtaining the lowest qualified bid is a primary objective. Owners who prefer a traditional and widely understood project delivery method. Projects with sufficient time to complete design before construction procurement begins.
