The Design/Build concept of construction is fast becoming
the method of choice for those who wish to save time and money. Design/Build
is the best way for an owner to have "Hands On" participation, and control
of the project. Through Design/Build, the owner and the contractor together,
develop the Scope of work, Design features, Budgets, and Time lines
for completion.
R.J. Sullivan Inc., along with our subcontractors and
suppliers, provide a unique source of expertise, from which the owner
can rely on, for vital information. The Design/Build program also provides
direct cost and time savings. Through Design/Build, Architectural and
Engineering cost are less because they are performed in house. The up
front savings in this area alone, is about 3 to 5 percent. The Design/Build
system also eliminates the need for most bidding documents, which can
amount to a time savings of 30 to 60 days, and the actual bidding
procedure which would be another 15 to 30 days. To concept to construction,
the owner may realize potential savings in interest of up to 3 months,
