With this approach, the General Contractor holds the Architect’s contract. The result is a single point of contact for the Owner since the General Contractor is responsible for both design and construction.
Ruscilli is a strong advocate of this approach. Design/build partnering is a method of doing business through a team effort that helps providers of services and recipients of those services to work together to achieve mutual goals. As the practice of construction partnering has become widespread, it has demonstrated its effectiveness as a means of minimizing disputes. Not only does construction partnering preclude major disputes by obviating the need for alternative dispute resolutions, but it also is a proven provider of cost savings. Most importantly, construction partnering brings about an atmosphere of cooperation in which a collaborative effort enables projects to be completed within budget and on or ahead of schedule.
This atmosphere of cooperation is largely based on team building, which is the foundation of Ruscilli’s approach. Trust, open communication, and dedication to common goals are all significant components of this approach.
By taking advantage of our past success, Ruscilli is in a unique position to offer a systematic approach toward cost reduction without compromising function or sacrificing quality.
A Preconstruction Manager is assigned to assist in the design, price versions/options and work with the city
