On its next capital construction project, would your water or wastewater utility like to achieve - Seven percent lower cost - Thirteen percent faster construction - Thirty-three percent faster overall schedule - Fifty percent less schedule growth? These are some of the attractive benefits many water and wastewater utilities enjoy through the use of design-build construction over traditional design-bid-build construction. This book provides a basic template of how to plan, procure, and execute a design-build project.
