DBM (Design-Build Method)

The Design-Build Method (DBM) is a project delivery approach where a single entity, called the design-build team, handles both the design and construction of a project. Unlike traditional methods, where design and construction are managed separately, DBM streamlines the process by combining both phases under one contract. This fosters better collaboration, reduces delays, and can often lower costs because the team works together from the start. It’s commonly used in construction projects like buildings and infrastructure, providing efficiency and clarity for owners by maintaining a unified point of contact throughout the project.
