In this option you enter into contract with the design builder only. The architect and engineer are his responsibility and he is held responsible for the payment, scheduling, and coordination. This option is usually handled with a two-part contract.

The first part involves the development of construction drawings, city meetings, owner meetings, code issues, preliminary budgets and the overall development of the project prior to any construction. The cost for part one is usually a quote number.

Part two of the contract is the actual construction. After part one is completed, the design/builder will solicit subcontractor bids for review with the owner to determine the actual costs and the proper subcontractor selections.

Both Part One design fees and the Part Two contractor's fee become part of the total cost of construction. The project soft costs, such as supervision, permits, insurance, misc labor, toilets, etc. are negotiated and become part of the construction cost. The fee for part two of the contract is usually negotiated.
