With more than three decades of experience in the construction industry, William Londos serves as vice president of preconstruction at ACM Design & Build, based in Miami. To better serve his clients, William Londos maintains membership to multiple professional organizations, including the Design-Build Institute of America (DBIA).
DBIA is dedicated to demonstrating how the design-build process ensures accountability, saves time, and saves money. Today, roughly half of all construction projects utilize design-build technology, and though it is a newer form of construction, it is the fastest growing method in America.
The approach’s success lies in its streamlined process, in which an individual or entity seeking construction services needs to conclude only one contract with a design-build provider, rather than multiple contracts with designers, contractors, subcontractors, and consultants. With specialists fulfilling all of the traditional needs under one roof, design-build entities also enjoy an intimate culture of collaboration, one which encourages innovation. Recent research by CII/Pankow shows design-build construction continues to surpass other delivery systems in terms of its speed of delivery and cost.
