How the recommendation is made
Each answer adds weight to the delivery models it suits. Complete drawings and a need for one fixed number point to general contracting. Wanting one accountable party, having no designer yet, or a tight schedule point to design-build. Wanting to see every trade price, be closely involved, or keep room for scope changes point to construction management.
When two models score close together, the selector says so — that's a conversation worth having before you commit. The full comparison is in design-build vs construction management vs general contracting.
FAQ
