Tervezésépítés

Tervezésépítés is a Hungarian term that translates to "design-build" in English. It refers to a project delivery method where a single entity holds a contract that includes both the design and construction of a project. This approach consolidates responsibility and streamlines the process, as the designer and builder are working under the same contract.

In a typical design-build scenario, a client engages a design-build firm to handle all aspects of a project from conception to completion. This firm then assumes responsibility for both the architectural and engineering design as well as the actual construction. This contrasts with traditional methods where design and construction are often handled by separate contracts and entities, requiring the client to manage multiple parties.

The primary advantages of the design-build method include faster project delivery due to overlapping design and construction phases, a single point of responsibility for the client, and potentially reduced costs through streamlined communication and coordination. However, it can also limit the client's direct control over the design process compared to traditional methods where the client has separate contracts with the designer and contractor. The concept is widely used in various sectors, including commercial, industrial, and residential construction.
