Pearson has been providing design build services for over fifty years. Pearson Engineering (dba – TERA Architects), founded in 1956, was initially created to facilitate design build capabilities for Pearson. Since then, Pearson has constructed hundreds of buildings for owners using the design build method of delivery. There are several advantages of design build for the owner, including a single point of accountability for the design and construction and a faster delivery of construction. Pearson will also explore the Design Build Lease delivery method with potential clients. This is a variation of the typical design build delivery in which Pearson will design and build a facility for a tenant, not an owner. The facility is built to fulfill the specific requirements of an individual tenant’s space in return for a long term lease agreement.
