Design/build is a method of project delivery in which EMR as the design/builder signs a single contract with the project owner to provide both architectural/engineering (A/E) design services and construction services. Design/build is also known as design/construct and single-source responsibility. Over the past 15 years, use of design/build has greatly accelerated in the United States, making this delivery method one of the most significant trends in design and construction today.
