Design-build delivery under a single point of accountability.
Design-build puts design coordination and construction under one contract, which means one party is accountable when the drawings and the field disagree. Sardion has delivered Department of Veterans Affairs design-build awards on that basis.
VA design-build contracts delivered as prime contractor.
Capability highlights
- VA design-build awards delivered as prime
- Design coordination carried by the contractor
- Constructability resolved before the field sees it
- One contract, one schedule, one accountable party
Scope of work
- Design management: Managing the design team against the program, the budget, and the schedule — so the documents that reach the field are buildable and the owner isn't refereeing between designer and builder.
- Constructability review: Conflicts found on paper cost a markup. The same conflicts found in the field cost a change order, a delay, and sometimes the relationship.
- Budget certainty: Pricing developed alongside the design so the owner sees cost consequences while there is still time to make a different decision.
- Single-point delivery: One contract covering design coordination and construction, which removes the gap owners usually fall into when something goes wrong.
Questions owners and primes ask
- What design-build work has Sardion delivered? Sardion has delivered design-build awards for the Department of Veterans Affairs covering both structural and clinical scopes. Specific contract references are provided directly on request.
- Why choose design-build over design-bid-build? Design-build removes the gap between designer and builder. When the drawings and the field disagree, one party is responsible for resolving it rather than two parties assigning blame.
- Does Sardion carry the design team? Yes. Under design-build, Sardion holds the contract and manages the design team against the owner's program, budget, and schedule.
