Design-Build
One team, one contract, one point of accountability. Our design-build model accelerates delivery, reduces change orders, and aligns design with constructability from day one.
Faster Delivery, Lower Risk
Traditional design-bid-build creates silos between architects and contractors, often leading to delays, change orders, and budget overruns. HartmannForge's design-build approach unifies design and construction under a single contract — enabling overlapping phases, real-time cost feedback during design, and seamless coordination from concept to completion.
- Single-source accountability
- Fast-track & phased delivery
- Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) options
- Constructability reviews during design
- Value engineering & cost optimization
- BIM-integrated coordination
Design-Build Questions
Industry studies show design-build projects are delivered 33% faster on average. By overlapping design and construction phases, we typically reduce overall project duration by 15–25% compared to design-bid-build.
Not at all. You maintain full ownership of design decisions. Our role is to provide integrated expertise that informs better decisions faster — with real-time cost and schedule feedback at every design milestone.
We offer lump sum, cost-plus with GMP, and progressive design-build models. During consultation, we recommend the approach that best balances your risk tolerance, timeline, and budget certainty needs.
