Turnkey and design-build delivery consolidates design and construction under a single contract — the client engages one party who is responsible for both producing the design and delivering the built project to the specification it defines. The key advantage is a single point of accountability: there is no gap between design intent and construction reality, no opportunity for cost and programme disputes to arise between separate designer and contractor appointments, and a clearer risk allocation for the client.
We provide design-build delivery for clients who want the efficiency and accountability of integrated delivery, bringing our design and construction capabilities together under one contract. This model works best when a client has clear functional requirements and budget parameters — which we help refine into an Employer's Requirements document — and wants a single team to own the decisions and the outcomes that flow from them.
