Fixing Scope to Fix Price

3PQ revolutionizes design-build by transforming variable scope into fixed, measurable outcomes within a set budget and timeline. Design-builders select project priorities from the owner’s 3PQueue (an owner prioritized list of objectives), guided by Performance Criteria, driving market-responsive innovation. Unlike design-bid-build’s frequent change-orders and cost overruns, 3PQ’s 1-on-1 meetings ensure scope clarity and achievability, locking it early. 

 

This antifragile approach balances market volatility—fixed price and time constraints temper scope, while competition and Award Fee Incentives ignite creativity. By countering the traditional “what they know” mindset of reactive bidding, 3PQ delivers projects that meet owner needs without surprises. Owners gain predictable results, and design-builders innovate confidently, ensuring value-driven success across diverse projects. (back)
