Design-Bid-Build Process
The Design-Bid-Build (DBB) method is the most traditional and widely recognized construction process, consisting of three distinct phases: design, bid, and build. This delivery method is often considered the go-to option for new commercial construction projects due to its systematic approach and the opportunity for owners to collaborate closely with architects and engineers to secure the best possible price. In this article, we will delve into the Design-Bid-Build process and explore how Claypoole Group can expertly guide you through each phase.
Design
Design The design phase marks the beginning of the construction process. The project owner hires a designer, either an architect or an engineer, to create a design for the new facility. During this phase, the designer prepares all necessary drawings and specifications that the construction team will need to complete the project. It is essential to establish a strong working relationship between the owner and the designer, as this collaboration ensures that the final design meets the owner’s needs and preferences.


Bid
Once the design work is complete, the project moves into the bid phase. General contractors review the construction documents, consult with subcontractors, and ask the architect or engineer any clarifying questions needed to prepare their bids. Each bid represents a general contractor’s best price for the project, and multiple bids for the same project can vary significantly.
As a leading construction company, Claypoole Group has extensive experience in reviewing construction documents and working closely with subcontractors to provide comprehensive and competitive bids. We understand the importance of accurate bids and strive to provide the best value for our clients.
Build
After reviewing all submitted bids, the designer will ask contractors for any additional information and ultimately choose the bid that best fits the owner’s needs. With the winning bid selected, the build phase begins, and the general contractor’s team commences construction work on the new facility.
A unique feature of the Design-Bid-Build method is that the designer will oversee the work of the general contractor and subcontractors to ensure the owner receives a high-quality end product. Claypoole Group takes pride in our attention to detail and commitment to delivering exceptional results for our clients.
