Design-Build & Preconstruction

Bring Micon in Early to Identify Electrical Challenges Before They Become Costly Delays

Design-build is a project delivery method where a single team handles both the design and construction of a project, while preconstruction is the foundational planning phase that takes place before any physical building begins.

  • What Is Design-Build?

    • Single contract: The owner signs one contract with a single entity for everything.
    • Better teamwork: Architects and builders work together from day one.
    • Fewer delays: Clear communication stops many common site problems before they start.

  • What Is Preconstruction?

    • Deep planning: This phase maps out the entire project on paper.
    • Budget setting: Teams calculate exact costs for materials and labor.
    • Risk checking: Experts look for site issues, supply delays, and permitting rules.
    • Schedule making: Project managers build a timeline for every milestone.

  • Why They Work Together Well

    • Early cost control: The builder can price designs as they are drawn, avoiding expensive redrawing later.
    • Faster starts: Construction can begin sooner because planning is thorough and complete.
    • Fewer surprises: Spotting problems early keeps the final price close to the original estimate.
