Design Assist Benefits
- Promotes collaborative design for complex structures that include ALL stakeholder expertise
- Lowers cost – typically 5-15% less than competitive tender format
- Open communication leads to comprehensive design and clear pricing
- Less “contingency” or potential for extras
- Safer and more sustainable projects as Design Assist promotes better long term and value-driven decision making
- Accelerated & more efficient build schedules as installation is considered during design phase
