DESIGN & BUILD

Design & Build is an important aspect of our business and we have completed a wide variety of project types on this basis, with individual project values up to £10 million.

The key advantages of design and build procurement to clients’ are:

Construction can start earlier, reducing the overall project delivery time - from inception to completion
A lump sum can be obtained before the design is complete
The client only has one organisation to deal with - one point of responsibility once the design and build contract is awarded
The client can engage with MCS and their specialists, sub-contractors and suppliers early in the design process, to get a more practical build-able solution
The possibility of reducing overall costs, as MCS may be able to design specialist elements at a lower cost than professional consultants
The ability to adopt a two-stage procurement approach
The ability to novate the design team to the design and build contract
