Explore the comparison and planning advice
Ask what design-build means in this proposal
The phrase can describe very different delivery models. Ask the firm to state whether it leads programming, architectural design, interiors, engineering coordination, procurement, installation, general construction, commissioning, and aftercare.
Use its listed capabilities to guide your questions; confirm responsibilities in the signed scope.
Interview against the same brief
Give every candidate the same plan, desired uses, modality list, site context, finish expectations, and unresolved questions. Ask for a responsibility matrix, not just a design concept or a price range.
Compare exclusions, allowances, owner-provided work, schedule dependencies, and the party responsible for coordinating outside professionals.
Ask for relevant work and a clear proposal
Ask finalists for examples relevant to your room, the team who would deliver it, and a written description of their responsibilities. Confirm current availability before paying for the next design stage.
Select the team whose written scope and coordination plan best fit your brief, budget process, geography, and desired handover.
