What are the weaknesses of the design-build project delivery method?

What will be an ideal response?


Design-build has its weaknesses. The absence of an independent design
professional selected by the owner can deprive the owner of the widest
opportunities for good design. An unsophisticated owner often lacks the
skill to determine whether the contractor is doing the job well or as
promised. This can reflect itself not only in substandard work but also in
excessive payments being made early in the project or in slow payment or
nonpayment of subcontractors.
