Design-Build versus Design-Bid Build
Determining which method is right for your project will depend on your unique circumstances. It is important to consider your project goals, as well as the projects size, risk and complexity.
Understanding Design-Build
Simply started, design build provides a single point of contact with one team designing and building a new facility. This single source holds complete responsibility and contractual risk for every phase of the project. Some key advantages include:
A reliable outcome.
Expedited project completion.
A predictable budget.
Improved communication and collaboration.
Equipment Procurement in the Pre-Planning Phase
A critical element in the pre planning phase is equipment procurement. Prior to purchasing equipment, it is important to confirm the following details:
Computer-aided design drawings (CAD).
Group purchasing organization (GPO) affiliation.
Estimated time of arrivals and timelines.
Equipment Purchasing Tips
Purchasing equipment is no easy task. ASC’s can follow these 3 key tips to start the capital equipment procurement process:
Work with an outside consultant to start the process.
