Time Savings
Design and construction activities occur simultaneously, bidding periods and re-design are eliminated resulting in significant time savings.

Construction work can begin before final documents are complete because the firm contract price is already established.

Bidding is costly and time consuming. If the project is over budget - the process must be repeated. No work can begin until firm costs are known. This is not an efficient system …“Time is Money."
