Design-Assist is an emerging collaborative model. The term is used to describe the strategy of engaging key construction subcontractors early in the design and pre-construction phase, to assist the design team and the construction team with value engineering, constructability analysis, and other pre-construction services. The goal is to gain more input, from more parties, earlier in the process, in order to achieve more efficiency and cost savings.
