In a design and build contract, which item is included?

The main concept is that in a design and build project the starting point is the Employer’s Requirements, a document that sets out exactly what the client wants in terms of scope, performance, quality, and constraints. This is included because it provides the baseline the design-build contractor uses to design and construct the project and, later, to demonstrate that the finished work meets the client’s needs. It defines the expectations, acceptance criteria, and interfaces, guiding both design development and procurement. Other pieces of information like data, site information, or work information may be referenced or provided during the project, but they do not establish the formal basis of the contract in the same way the Employer’s Requirements do.
