How is manufacturing different from construction?

Great question.
Design-build has become synonymous with fast tracking a project. This is a false understanding of the reasoning behind design-build.
In a regular project or type of construction, there are a set of plans with all of the required engineering. This means that the total project has been conceptualized and planed, down to the fine details.
In design build project an architects concept has been drawn. Most design build projects stop here and get a permit so that the owners time tables can be met. While construction begins, engineering is continuing, and we tend to call it a design build project. All of the engineering comes latter for times sake. More of a fast track than a design build.
In a real design build project the architect's concept is there but the engineering is in question as to how the project will actually work. Most have some, if not all of the required engineering, or at least an overall concept of the engineering plan that include drawings and details. The reasoning for design build is that the engineering concepts are only that, concepts, and have not been actually proven in other than theory, or not to the scales that they are being implimented in the project. Engineering details may change with actual numbers and this is foreseen or planed.
The reason for design build is that there are expected changes or unanswered questions in the engineering that can not be fully answered until the building is to the point in construction that the engineer can make a full determination or actual measurements, loads and/or calculations.
Others may (and will) disagree, but this is my understanding of the true meaning of DESIGN-BUILD.

Most corded curtain tie backs have a tassel. The cord comes pre-tied so that there are 2 loops and the tassel is in the middle. You will also need a hook on your wall to use the tiebacks. You can find inexpensive hooks at any hardware store. Place the hook on the wall at the height/location you want to curtain pulled back to. Then put one of the loops on the hook, wrap the cord arourd the curtain, and attach the other loop. Voila!
What are the advantages of Sustainable construction techniques?
Energy efficiency: The less energy you use, the more money you save. Resource Conservation: Setting your printer to the "print double-sided" default setting will save paper, requiring you to buy less of it. Healthy Indoor Environments: Because indoor air quality is often MUCH, MUCH worse than outdoor air quality due to toxins in paint, walls, furniture, clothing, etc., using low VOC (volatile organic compounds) paint and plywood that is processed without formaldehyde are just two of the things to do to decrease indoor air-toxicity. Additionally, big windows that open allow fresh air and natural light into the building, increasing the productivity and happiness of workers. Studies have demonstrated that auxillary benefits such as these often entice highly skilled workers away from better paying positions that don't offer good indoor environments. Overall Sustainability: Each time you choose something that "Reduces, re-uses, or recycles" you are contributing to the overall health and longevity of our planet. It's these simple choices that lead to bigger steps, as market interest breeds industry innovation. Look for wood that comes from well-managed forests (see FSC certified wood), use material that is generated locally (this cuts down on carbon emissions from shipping costs). For more information regarding tax breaks and other incentives, look up the LEED program for new construction.
