Why Choose Design-Build Construction?

Commercial clients, like you, increasingly choose Design Build construction for fast timelines and a simplified building process. With our expert teams guiding your project, you get optimized plans, schedules, and an early, reliable budget.

How does that work?

Better Budget Control

With design-build, your design and construction teams work together from the beginning to create a plan for your budget. This minimizes surprises, and reduces the chance you have expensive change orders—your project stays financially on track from start to finish.

Traditional Design-Bid-Build Creates Headaches

In the traditional design-bid-build method, you coordinate separately with designers, engineers, and contractors. This leads to communication breakdowns, delays, and finger-pointing when issues arise. This can create misaligned expectations, prolonged timelines, and increased stress you—turning a straightforward project into a logistical headache.

Faster Project Timelines

The design-build approach allows the design and construction phases to overlap, speeding up your entire process. Instead of waiting for a complete design before construction begins, our teams start work sooner, with ongoing adjustments made collaboratively. This streamlined workflow reduces delays and ensures the project stays on track from start to finish.

Delays in Traditional Design-Bid-Build

In the design-bid-build process, construction cannot begin until your design is fully completed and approved. This lengthens timelines, especially if changes are needed after bids are received. Additionally, any discrepancies or conflicts between the design and construction phases can cause further delays, as teams work in silos rather than collaboratively. This piecemeal method often stalls progress, making it difficult to meet tight deadlines.

STREAMLINED COMMUNICATION AND SINGLE POINT OF CONTACT

When you choose Design-build construction, the entire project is handled by our team, combining both design and construction services. This gives you a single point of contact and eliminates the need to coordinate between separate architects, engineers, and contractors. Our clients appreciate how design-build removes confusion, streamlines decision-making, and ensures clear accountability throughout their project.
