design-build
Single-source project delivery
Design-build is a construction project delivery method where a single entity handles both architectural design and construction, rather than the owner contracting separately with a designer and a builder.
The approach simplifies accountability and can speed completion: The school district chose design-build to meet their tight deadline.
Also used as an adjective: a design-build firm, a design-build contract.
