Design Build

At Geo. A. Kelson Company Limited design-build means quicker project delivery and single point responsibility.


Design-build is a system of contracting under which one entity is responsible for both engineering design and construction.  Design-build projects can be delivered more rapidly as construction can commence prior to the design being completed.  This reduces the overall construction time.  Design-build also allows for a less complicated and more integrated relationship between the owner and the contractor.  With a single source of responsibility all parties are motivated to ensure quality while minimizing bureaucratic inefficiencies.  The close relationship developed between owner and contractor maximizes the options available and can help to purge problems before they even occur!
