The contractor and the designer, as opposed to traditional construction, which involves contracts between two distinct parties, namely an architect and a contractor. Design-build companies handle both the building and design of the project.

The process of designing and building includes estimation, assessments, and the pre-construction phase to schematics, architectural Engineering, subcontracting construction and post-construction. Each aspect of a build is overseen by a single design-build firm.

The Design-Builder is responsible for all agreements with businesses which include subcontractors as well as equipment providers, as well as the suppliers of material. The design-build agreements save time and cost and keep the owners from getting into disputes between designers and contractors. Another benefit is that the responsibility for design is passed from the company owner to the design-build contractor in contract agreements, meaning that the owners are not accountable for design mistakes. This close partnership allows reductions in costs because the contractor has the ability to inform directly the designer regarding the choice and construction of the different types of types of materials.
