About this book

Design-Build Explained sets out for clients, contractors, consultants and students how the system works in practice. It demonstrates that while Design-Build is generally considered to be just one system, it does in fact have a number of varieties, each suited to different circumstances that may prevail at the time, and it explains how these different varieties fall into the two broad categories, 'employer-led-design' and 'contractor-led-design'.
