> Design Build

As MCN Build’s preferred delivery method, design-build allows us to effectively harness the efforts and expertise of all parties involved at both the design and construction levels.

Our excellent relationships with architectural firms and the subcontractor community allows us to form strategic partnerships tailored specifically towards the needs of the project at hand, resulting in several advantages to project owners, including:

• Single source contracting provides greater accountability between all parties

• Owner resources are saved through less day-to-day involvement in the administration of the different parties on the team

• Fast-tracking of project delivery by overlapping design and construction activities reduces time lost addressing drawing comments resulting in value engineering of the design

• Considerable time is saved through a phased buy-out plan as packages become complete, as well as planning for an early release of long lead items

• A single project schedule from inception to turn over allows for better time management

• Development of budgets in a collaborative setting between the design and design team allows for an earlier determination of the Guaranteed Maximum Price for better financial forecasting

• Direct construction input on systems, materials, etc. as the design develops maximizes cost savings

• Reduction of scope busts that may result in costly change orders through better understanding of the intent of the design and developing appropriate buy-out plan

Our ultimate goal is to shield owners from costly surprises that might adversely affect their plans. We do this by firmly establishing the project parameters from the beginning and exerting tight project controls that are maintained throughout the course of the job. Using this approach, MCN Build safeguards against failures and allows the team to successfully deliver on its promises.
