Service: Design-Build/Fabricate

Urban Now is a design build/fabrication firm. But what does Design Build mean??

Design-build (or design/build, and abbreviated D-B or D/B accordingly) is a construction project delivery system where, in contrast to “design-bid-build” (or “design-tender”), the design and construction aspects are contracted for with a single entity known as the design-builder or design-build contractor. The design-builder is usually the general contractor, but in many cases it is also the design professional (architector engineer). This system is used to minimize the project risk for an owner and to reduce the delivery schedule by overlapping the design phase and construction phase of a project. Where the design-builder is the contractor, the design professionals are typically retained directly by the contractor. The most efficient design-builder has design and construction professionals working directly for the same at-risk entity. This is one of the oldest forms of construction since developing from the “master builder” approach.
