With both design and construction in the hands of a single entity, Vision is your single point of responsibility for quality, cost and schedule adherence. Our ITD team is responsible for quality, budget and schedule, as well as performance of the completed facility. Under the ITD^® methodology, Vision takes responsibility for any issues requiring resolution between design and construction. 

Traditional design-bid-build too often relies upon restrictive contract language, adversarial audit and inspection, and, ultimately, the legal system to ensure project quality. In the ITD® methodology, Vision is solely responsible for your completed product. This accountability drives outcome-focused quality throughout the entire process. Our ITD® methodology ensures quality from the initial consultation.

Our ITD^® Team (engineering and construction personnel) collaboratively evaluates value-engineering designs, materials and methods efficiently and accurately. Value engineering and constructability are utilized continuously and more effectively when the engineers, contractors and vendors work as one during the entire design and construction process.

Because design and construction are overlapped (and because bidding periods and redesigns are eliminated), total design and construction time can be significantly reduced. Design-build is ideal for the application of “fast track” construction techniques without associated risks to the owner. Material and equipment procurement as well as construction work can begin before construction documents are fully completed. The resulting time savings translates into lower costs and earlier occupancy of the completed facility. Earlier occupancy equals faster time to revenue and happier tenants.

Change Orders can run as high as 35% of the project value. With Design-Build, one PM manages multiple scopes. It also encourages transparency in pricing, allows more effective channel and manufacturer management, and enhances collaboration with GC and trades.
