Construction Service
Design-Bid-Build
Traditional delivery with separately procured design and construction contracts, sequenced through competitive bidding.
Traditional delivery with separately procured design and construction contracts, sequenced through competitive bidding.
When this delivery method fits
- Projects requiring a fully completed design before construction pricing and procurement.
- Public or institutional projects where competitive bidding on a completed design set is required or preferred.
Typical process
- 01
Design completion
Owner engages a design team separately to complete construction documents.
- 02
Competitive bid
Construction is competitively bid against the completed design documents.
- 03
Construction
Blackhawk executes construction under a direct contract against the bid design.
Planning considerations
- Requires design documents to be substantially complete before construction pricing, which can lengthen overall project duration.
- Clear, complete bid documents reduce the risk of change orders during construction.
Client benefits
- Construction pricing is based on a completed, well-defined design.
- Familiar procurement structure for public and institutional owners.
