(D.C.H Coles, 2010)

In this method, the design and the construction roles are combined into a single responsibility and the team is referred to as the Design Build Contractor. The architect is under contract to the contractor and not the owner. The advantages of this method are that the owner is dealing with one contract for the design and construction and does not get involved in the details of the design and construction. The design can be accomplished according to the budget and easily be changed if necessary. Since the maximum price is set in an early stage, this method is faster than the design-bid-build and the construction manager method. However, there are drawbacks to this approach. Since the architect and contractor report to the design/build firm, a conflict is created between the owner and the design/build firm.

As the owner is no longer dependent on the architect, the architect’s judgement is no longer provided to the owner and this leads to quality control problems.

Traditionally employers appoint professionals to manage construction and engineering contracts. Whether or not they are an ‘employer’s man’ has been the subject of much debate. The employer’s agent under the JCT performs all the duties of the employer on their behalf.

Sometimes a family has decided it is time to remodel their kitchen and sometimes people figure out that their bathroom is way too small and it is time for it to be updated.
