Using the Design -Build Method
• This method accelerates project
delivery to minimize the overall impact
on businesses and commuters.
• Construction and design work will occur
concurrently to expedite completion.
• Quality will not be compromised by the
design -build method even though the
time frame of project delivery will be
shortened.
• In comparison, it took seven projects
and ten years to complete the 1- 30/35W
Interchange in downtown Fort Worth.
