 Very Poorly Written Aug 06, 2009
By S. M. Spence
Don't waste your money!! Very poorly organized and lacks substance. Practically unbearable to read. I am a DBIA Designated Design-Build Professional and if you want to learn about Design-Build buy Design-Build: Planning Through Development, not this waste of paper by Levy.

 Just About All There Is To Know About Design-Build Jun 06, 2006
By John Matlock
"Gunny"
The traditional method of building a building was to have the owner contract with a designer, and subsequently to contract with a builder to do the actual construction. The problem comes from the fact that there was often confusted communications between the designer and the builder. Of course the designer and the builder had differing agendas, they each had different capabilities, different jobs. The result was unhappiness, if not law suits.
One answer to this conflict was the concept of using one contractor to both design and build the building. The result has been a 6% lower cost, and 12% faster (33% faster if design time is included) than design-bid-build projects.
This book is a survey of design-build from his history, a description of how it works, a report on numerous projects from the real world, legal/insurance/contract information, off shore design, new advances in technology such as RFID and GPS.
In short this is a book to take the owner/designer/contractor to a level of understanding where he can work in a design/build environment.
