Progressive Design Build

A Collaborative Approach for Seamless Project Delivery

Progressive Design Build integrates the design and construction teams early in the process, enabling greater collaboration and smoother project execution. The design-builder manages the entire project in two distinct phases, working closely with the owner from start to finish.

What We Do

Sealand specializes in Progressive Design Build, a method that offers higher collaboration and flexibility, ensuring smoother projects and more predictable outcomes.

• Phase 1: Development and Pre-Construction
  During this phase, the owner and design-builder work together to develop the project’s design, schedule, and cost estimates.
• Phase 2: Implementation
  This phase includes the final design, construction, testing, and commissioning of the project. The owner continues working with the same design-builder throughout the entire process, avoiding the need for multiple contractors.

Key Benefits of Progressive Design Build:

• Transparent Estimating and Budgeting:
  The collaborative approach enables owners to see transparent cost estimates early in the process.
• Reduced Contracts and Disputes:
  The process minimizes contracts and potential disputes between the design and construction teams by fostering collaboration from the outset.
• Flexibility with Off-Ramps:
  Owners can choose to end the collaboration after the design phase if agreement on pricing cannot be reached before implementation.
• Qualification-Based Selection:
  Design-build teams are chosen based on qualifications rather than price, with construction costs negotiated after design progress has been made.
• Owner Control:
  This collaborative delivery model gives owners more control over the process while still meeting performance, price, and schedule targets.

With Progressive Design Build, Sealand ensures greater reliability and smoother execution, particularly in uncertain labor and market conditions.
