Evaluating the Benefits: Change orders and cost overruns are uncommon in architect-led design/build projects, at least in Gluck’s experience. Architects are more sensitive to cost, schedule, and material issues during design, and more attuned to addressing quality issues during construction. “For us, the value is that integration,” Gluck says. “The same person who’s designing [the project] is the same person who is conveying it and working with the trades. Our impression is that this is what clients want.”
