Design / Build

Many owners utilize the design/build process to expedite the construction of a project without tying up valuable capital and manpower resources. The design/build process allows an owner to focus on its core business while Overland supervises the overall architectural, engineering, bidding, contracting, building and inspection of the project from start to finish.

One aspect of a design/build project may be the ability to “fast-track” or phase a project. This enables the project to get started as soon as a portion of the design has been completed and approved. This approach allows projects to be completed sooner, which may provide a significant benefit and cost savings to the owner. It requires close coordination between Overland, the architect and the owner.

Single point responsibility gives the following advantages:

• A professional team who is experienced in specific project requirements
• Early collaboration in the design phase which minimizes cost and eliminates risks associated with changes made later on
• Eliminates disputes that may arise in the contract documents as to scope of work
• Allows easy coordination between project budgeting, scheduling and constructing
• Shortens the project delivery schedule
