Design/Build
is
a
project
delivery
method
that
provides
single-source
responsibility
while
compressing
overall
time
frame
for
project
completion
where
owner,
designer,
and
builder
function
as
an
integrated
team.
Seven
ways
AR&D's
design/build
approach
makes
sense
for
today's
construction:
- Phased
construction
saves
time
and
money.
Traditionally,
design
and
construction
are
separate
tasks
--
construction
doesn't
begin
until
design
is
complete
and
contracts
are
awarded.
An
approach
that
requires
extended
periods
of
time
to
accomplish
each
task
sequentially,
and
drives
costs
higher.
AR&D
offers
an
alternative
--
a
design/build
service
that
integrates
design
and
construction,
shaving
months
off
traditional
project
schedules.
Even
when
materials
and
equipment
are
hard
to
get,
we
develop
a
workable
schedule
to
save
time
and
reduce
costs.
- Early
known
cost
provides
flexibility.
AR&D's
design/build
establishes
a
total
project
cost
early
in
the
planning
stages.
This
vital
step
allows
financing
to
be
secured
so
that
the
facility
meets
the
owner's
needs
at
a
known
cost
--
months
ahead
of
traditional
schedules.
- Open
communication
keeps
everyone
informed.
We
establish
clear-cut
lines
of
communication
to
regularly
update
everyone
on
the
status
of
the
project.
Hi-tech
reports
and
progress
summaries
are
an
integral
part
of
AR&D's
service,
so
the
information
needed
to
make
critical
business
decisions
is
readily
available.
- Custom
approach
assures
cost
efficiency.
AR&D
provides
a
unique
solution
custom-tailored
to
the
project's
needs
--
not
just
a
stock
answer
off
the
shelf.
From
the
planning
stage,
we
move
the
project
forward
through
design
and
construction,
smoothly
and
economically.
Each
member
of
the
project
team
draws
on
a
sound
blend
of
experience,
expertise,
and
innovative
thinking
to
answer
the
special
needs
of
the
project.
- Teamwork
puts
the
owner
in
control.
While
AR&D
manages
the
project,
the
owner
maintains
complete
control.
All
major
decisions
require
advance
approval,
as
design
and
construction
expertise
have
been
combined
into
a
single
team
of
experienced
professionals.
- Single-source
responsibility
boosts
efficiency.
AR&D's
design/build
provides
a
unified
group
of
professionals.
From
initial
planning
through
final
construction
and
occupancy.
AR&D's
single-source
responsibility
pays
off
in
better
communication,
shorter
timelines,
greater
cost
efficiency,
and
a
smoother
project.
- Quality
is
standard
procedure.
AR&D's
detailed
quality
review
begins
during
the
planning
of
the
project,
following
through
until
completion
and
start-up.
Our
proven
methods
assure
that
quality
is
never
sacrificed
for
economy
--
because,
like
our
clients,
AR&D
is
committed
to
making
each
project
a
complete
success.
