Efficient Design-Build Approach

ARC has the capability of providing its clients with the efficiencies of design-build construction. ARC can work directly for the client or through his architect and general contractor to provide construction documentation. Because the contractor is involved early in the project, the design- build approach can provide significant savings over traditional plan and spec. work. The earlier savings are identified, the larger the impact.

Result - ARC provides significant advantages to the client:

Project Delivery — Projects that have tight schedules can be accelerated. Functions such as estimating, value engineering, purchasing of long lead time items and even construction can start during the design phase.

Early Pricing - In comparison to plan and spec work, the owner gets firm pricing early in the project, saving the time required for issuing plans, soliciting and evaluating bids, negotiating and issuing separate construction contracts.

Single Source Responsibility - Because designer and builder are on the same team, the owner does not have to look to multiple sources for responsibility.

Team concept - There are no adversarial relationships. The team works together for the most effective outcome.
