What is Design Build?

Design Build is a simple premise: the same firm that Designs your project also Builds it. This process ensures that one company is completely responsible and answerable for the life of the project, from initial concept through completion. By taking a one-stop-shop, team approach, Design Build means that you will no longer navigate through an overwhelming number of details, subcontractors or vendors alone. Instead, our  engineers, designers, estimators, project managers and skilled construction professionals communicate and coordinate everything from our Design Center location. Design Build is simply a more time efficient, cost effective and accountable process (a study by the Design Build Institute of America (DBIA) covering 351 projects showed that the Design-Build method reduced total project costs by 6% and improved delivery time by 33%).\
