Why PLAN+BUILD Group?
The disconnection between the design and the construction of projects often leads to conflicts and cost overruns

The Integrated Project Delivery (Design-Build)
Owner hires PLAN+BUILD Group
Design: The project is designed by architect and consultants with practical input from contractor. The contractor works with the team to provide construction cost estimates during design. Towards the end of design, the contractor finalizes the project’s cost. Design can be manipulated by the architect to assure owners cohesion to real cost.
Build: The project team works together to assure quality while keeping the project on budget and schedule.
