Author Note: ART-IS-ZEN® architecture & engineering 2605 S Decatur Blvd, Ste 123 Box 101 Las Vegas, NV 89102-8591 www.art-is-zen.com Abstract Design-build is emerging as the preferred method of project delivery with lower costs, faster times, and better quality. It combines architectural, engineering and construction tasks under one business entity. Contractors are then able to offer a single point of contact for building and facility owners. This reduced the liability and exposure for their clients while providing better project performance. With increased risk to the contractor, focusing on early team building with a common culture is vital to project success. Keywords:.
