Design & Build is a term for a process where the contractor is appointed to handle both the entire design (or part of the design) and the entire construction work. This modern concept contrasts with the traditional construction contract, where the client appoints consultants to undertake the design and then appoints a contractor to carry out the construction. With the Design & Build concept, clients and contractors can save a significant amount of time, as it allows for the overlap of design and construction phases, shortening the overall project completion time. Another important key fact is that there is a single point of responsibility, which in practice means more efficient execution, fewer errors, and lower costs.
GIC is more than just a comprehensive planner: as a company, we follow an interdisciplinary approach where all stages of design and planning are treated as interconnected, considering the life cycle of the building. Specialized areas such as architecture, building physics, structural planning, mechanical and electrical installations, construction preparation, supervision, and fire protection are seamlessly integrated, with teams working together to find efficient, economical, and sustainable solutions for our clients and end-users.
Our key advantage is planning within a shared digital building model. For all design departments, as well as any external partners involved in the design process, the BIM model serves as the foundation for data exchange. Our clients benefit from our extensive experience and knowledge, receiving all design and planning services from a single source. By using digital technologies, we ensure maximum transparency throughout the entire workflow.
