Synopsis
Traditionally, construction projects have involved designers and contractors working separately, and sometimes at odds with each other, forcing the customer to be responsible for coordinating their activities. As a result, cost overruns are common, deadlines are frequently missed, and miscommunication can breed serious mistakes. But there’s a better way to build.
An invaluable resource for builders and their clients, A Better Way explains and explores design-build, an alternative to the traditional design-bid-build model. This revolutionary approach merges design, engineering, and construction into one highly efficient process. Joe Pomerenke takes the reader step by step through his career experience with this exciting innovation at ARCO/Murray, clarifying what it is, how it works, and how it can benefit the customer experience.
This bold and agile new methodology is already changing the urban landscape with its iterative, real-time approach to design, construction, and decision-making. Design-build is the future, and the very best way to build efficiently.

About the Author
Joe Pomerenke was born on his father's family farm outside of Marshall, Missouri, and became fascinated by architecture when his family made trips to Springfield, Kansas City, and St. Louis. He saw great buildings as symbols of hope, progress, and ambition. If others could dream that big, Joe could also. The dream eventually led him to Chicago and a job with ARCO/Murray National Construction Company. There he discovered the design-build process, which he and several college friends together with business colleagues employed to contribute to the growth of the ARCO Family of Companies.
