Description
Engineer-Led Design-Build is appropriate for most private sector projects and some public sector projects. The process is win-win-win for the owner, the contractor and the engineer, with greater success and satisfaction for all.
Join Jeremy Baker for a step-by-step explanation of how any MEP engineering firm can structure itself to lead design-build teams, work with strategically allied contractors, and make greater profit with less risk than in traditional jobs.
Learning Objectives:
- How to explain a “sequential” engineer-led design build, a more practical approach than the “single contract” approach
- Determine how engineers can bifurcate their design-build practice into separate design and construction companies that bring the engineer’s liabilities in line with traditional design practices
- Recognize how engineers can use their design-build capability to market their traditional design services more effectively
- Discuss the benefits of using an engineer-led design-build business model
- Explain how engineers can structure their businesses to contract directly with owners as the prime member of a design-build team while subcontracting the actual construction work to a general contractor
