What are the biggest misconceptions
customers typically have when engaging a design/build firm to initiate
their freestanding outpatient imaging center?
There is not much difference between design/build vs. design/bid/build,
except for the speed that design/build offers. That speed, in both the
design and construction phases, requires the client to make quick
decisions.
Some key misconceptions clients have about design/build are:
"Design/build is more expensive." Clients who have worked on design/bid/build projects are accustomed to a competitive bidding process that ends with selection of the low bid. The perception is that competition is absent from design/build projects - but that is not true.
