Design Bid Build (D-B-B) in Hawaii
Design Bid Build (D-B-B) in Hawaii is a common construction delivery method widely used for public sector and government projects. This traditional “competitive bidding” process ensures the project is awarded to a construction company that provides the most cost-effective bid while meeting all architectural requirements. In this model, the owner first retains an architect or engineer to create complete design drawings and permit specifications. Once the “tender” documents are ready, contractors submit sealed bids. At Kai Ridge Hawaii, we excel in this transparent model, helping owners manage multiple engineering subcontractors, including structural, electrical, and plumbing, to ensure a successful, budget-compliant build.
