DESIGN&BUILD

We believe a construction project succeeds when all stakeholders are collaborating together from start to finish. That means inviting everyone including our designers, project managers, construction managers, trusted partners, etc. to the table to foster involvement, creativity, effectiveness to meet or exceed our customer’s needs throughout the project.

This type of project delivery allows us to work with our Clients from the beginning to listen and understand the intent of the project. Throughout the process, we have the ability to quickly and easily modify or adapt the project according to the Client’s needs, unlike with a traditional Design-Bid-Build delivery method.

WHAT IS DESIGN&BUILD CONTRACTING?
Design&Build is a construction delivery formula where the Design-Build Team works under a single contract to provide Design and Construction Services. Design-Build teams work together from the project’s start through completion, providing a collaborative approach that has been shown to save time and money when compared to traditional Design-Bid-Build methods. In addition, Design-Build contracts often lead to better communication and coordination between the designers, contractors, and subcontractors, resulting in a more efficient construction process.

IS DESIGN&BUILD LESS EXPENSIVE?
With No 3rd parties and a smoother process, design-build can save time and money on large construction projects.

ENHANCE COORDINATION
With Design&Build contracting, the same company is responsible for both the design and construction of a project. This allows a better coordination than compared to a traditional Design-Bid-Build project delivery method.

FASTER, MORE ACCURATE, DESIGN PROCESS
With Design&Build  you have a pre-construction team that performs construction reviews much earlier in the process, creating a more efficient project.

FASTER BUILD TIME
Design&Build contractors can often complete projects faster than traditional project delivery methods which will save on all overhead expenses associated with the project.
