Design-Build consolidates design and construction responsibility under a single contract, eliminating the coordination gap between architect and contractor that drives most project delays and cost overruns. Tekton's Design-Build platform deploys select design partners to deliver integrated design-construction services across multifamily, commercial, and mixed-use project types.
For owners, Design-Build means one contract, one team, and one accountable point of contact for both design quality and construction execution. Cost certainty is established earlier in the project timeline, schedule compression is maximized, and the owner's project management burden is significantly reduced.
Why Owners Choose This Delivery Method
- Single contract simplifies owner project management and reduces legal exposure
- Faster schedule through concurrent design and construction phases
- Reduced change order exposure — no architect-contractor coordination gaps
- Cost certainty established earlier than traditional delivery methods
- Efficient and scalable for repeat building types and phased community rollouts
