Why design and build shortens delivery

Site engineers reviewing drawings

When design and construction sit in separate contracts, information is handed over twice and gaps appear on site. A design-and-build appointment keeps the same team accountable from the first sketch to handover.

What changes on a live project

Pricing happens with the drawings, not after them. Procurement can start while details are still being resolved. The client has one number to call when a finish, a date or a cost needs a decision.

That is how we work at Back Up Construction: one accountable team, regular reporting, and a handover you can walk through.
