Who should lead a construction project? For many centuries, the answer was a simple one: the Master Builder, i.e., the architect. Then, for much of the 20th century, the answer became "the general contractor." For the past decade or so, however, that question has become a bit more difficult to answer, as the master builder concept resurfaced in the form of multiple design-build schemes. But just as everyone has an opinion on last night's ball game, no two parties see exactly eye-to-eye as to who should lead construction projects. Many are GC-led; some combine design and construction under one roof in an "integrated services" model. But some intrepid designers are looking to go even further by using design-build as an opportunity to putthe M/E/P engineer in the driver's seat.
