Design-Build

Many owners are bypassing the competitive bid method and turning to either a negotiated contract or a design-build approach. Choosing a contractor early in the planning stage of a project can offer practical advice and cost input to the owner, concurrently with the design process. This facilitates budget control and can shorten a project's schedule. Our philosophy on design-build projects is to become a project development team member and to think as an owner. By assuming the role of owner, we analyze all design and construction issues from a pro-and-con perspective. Such issues are then presented to the client with a pre-studied “what if” evaluation.
