General Contracting (Design-Bid-Build)

gcdbbchartDescription

 This method is one with which many owners may be most familiar. It is a linear process where one task (i.e., construction) follows another process (i.e., bid or design) with no overlap. Plans and specifications are developed and advertised for bid. Contractors bid the project exactly as specified with the lowest bidder typically awarded the work using a lump sum contract.
