Design-Build vs Design-Bid-Build: Is it Right for You?

Comparing Design-Bid-Build vs Design-Build delivery methods. How single-source responsibility reduces risk.

In the traditional Design-Bid-Build model, the owner sits between the architect and the contractor, mediating disputes and bearing the risk of design errors. In Design-Build, Apex is the single point of responsibility for both design and construction.

This eliminates the “blame game” when drawings aren’t clear. It allows us to order materials while design is still being finalized, compressing the overall schedule by 20-30%. For investors who value speed to market and price certainty, Design-Build is the superior delivery method.
