DESIGN-BUILD IS THE FUTURE OF K-12 CONSTRUCTION Design-build is a growing delivery method for K-12 schools—and for good reason. According to the Design-Build Institute of America, by 2026, it’s expected to represent nearly 47% of non-residential construction spending. Why the shift? Because design-build delivers where traditional models fall short: in speed, cost-efficiency, and collaboration. Unlike the fragmented design-bid-build process, design-build consolidates design and construction under a single contract. That means one team, one point of accountability, and one shared vision from start to finish.This approach encourages early collaboration, ensuring that architects, engineers, and builders work together to meet the owner’s goals—on time and on budget. Design-build also empowers owners. With transparent pricing, real-time feedback, and the ability to select trusted partners, owners stay in control while gaining expert guidance every step of the way. The process eliminates the costly finger-pointing often seen in traditional projects and replaces it with a unified team invested in the project’s success.Time savings and cost control go hand in hand with this model, as projects are completed faster with significantly fewer change orders. In a world where public dollars must stretch further, design-build offers a smarter, more efficient way to build—without compromising on quality or outcomes. It’s not just a better process. It’s the best one.
