DESIGN / BUILD
Design/build is a method of facilities project delivery in which one entity, the design/builder, forges a single contract with the owner to provide for architectural/engineering design and construction services. The potential benefits of this project delivery method include:
| • |
Single point of responsibility |
| • |
Reduced administrative burden for the Owner |
| • |
Better quality control |
| • |
Opportunity for innovation |
| • |
Early knowledge of costs |

At JWR our research has shown that design/build, when compared with traditional design and low-bid contracting, is 33% faster, 6% less in unit cost, superior in product quality, and generates less than half the claims and litigation.
Because of the unique qualifications of the Principals of JWR Construction Services, the "Teaming" necessary to make design/build successful is inherent in the company culture. At JWR Construction Services we have been performing design/build services for 25 years.
