Platform framing is a method of construction used primarily in small structure applications, such as in the construction of houses or small apartment complexes and buildings. The name platform framing is derived from the manner in which the construction is undertaken. The process used is to build upward from the foundation, or platform.
What is Design-Build? Design-build is a method of project delivery in which one entity â the design-build team â works under a single contract with the project owner to provide design and construction services. One entity, one contract, one unified flow of work from initial concept through completion â thereby re-integrating the roles of designer and constructor. Design-build is an alternative to the traditional design-bid-build project delivery method. Under the latter approach, design and construction services are split into separate entities, separate contracts, separate work.
