Review: Designers and builders are increasingly involved in design-build projects and have to change their business practices to accommodate the changing relationships within DB contracts. This book is intended to give guidance to owners, engineers, construction contractors, and architects who are developing a design-build (DB) project. Its aim is to help those professionals who must actually do the designing, building, and contract administration. Based on the authors’ experiences on a variety of DB projects, this book was developed to go from an introduction and history of DB, through the preparation of an RFP, to giving guidance on how to interpret the document and develop a winning proposal.
