Buy the Result, Not the Process

3PQ redefines design-build by shifting owners from managing service processes to purchasing project outcomes. Clear Performance Criteria, set via the 3PQ Process, define measurable results, enabling design-builders to validate compliance independently, reducing risk. Unlike design-bid-build’s iterative decision traps, 3PQ’s product focus lets owners specify “what the project does,” not “what it is.” 1-on-1 meetings ensure RFP clarity, aligning expectations.

 

Antifragile, 3PQ counters traditional DBB by minimizing owner involvement in design risks, with Award Fee Incentives sparking innovation. This approach delivers predictable, high-value results, avoiding traditional pitfalls like scope creep and cost overruns. Owners gain confidence in outcomes, while design-builders innovate within clear boundaries, ensuring projects meet expectations efficiently. (back)
