Design + Build Method

Streamline the building process with a single contract and one accountable team.

Why Clients Choose Design + Build

Design + Build streamlines the building process by integrating the skills of designers and builders, transforming the way structures are brought to life. Collaboration from day one means the project moves faster with fewer surprises. A more efficient, transparent process with fewer risks and stronger outcomes.

Seamless

  • One coordinated team from start to finish
  • Fewer communication gaps between phases
  • Faster decision-making with shared accountability

Efficient

  • Real-time feedback on design feasibility
  • Changes handled quickly with less disruption
  • Fewer errors and delays due to early coordination

Collaborative

  • Owners, architects, engineers, and builders aligned early
  • Team based problem solving from day one
  • Clear communication and shared priorities

Cost Effective

  • Cost input during design improves accuracy
  • Fewer surprises and fewer change orders
  • Better value decisions with schedule + cost visibility

Plan

  • Define goals, priorities, and success criteria
  • Use tools like BIM, 3D modeling, and virtual planning to visualize the project
  • Improve coordination and cost estimating early
  • Set a clear roadmap for design and construction

Design

  • Gather requirements and confirm scope early
  • Conduct site analysis and develop conceptual design
  • Coordinate structural, mechanical, electrical, and architectural needs
  • Validate decisions against budget, schedule, and constructability as plans progress

Build

  • Procure materials and coordinate subcontractors
  • Maintain quality and safety throughout construction
  • Keep communication clear with fewer handoffs
  • Deliver on schedule with a more predictable outcome

Visualize Your Project

Design Team planning a project

We use tools like BIM, 3D modeling, and virtual planning to visualize early to improve coordination. These tools give our customers the ability to envision their project long before we begin construction. This is one of the most valuable things we do. No more wondering if the finished product will look anything like the finished product you had envisioned.

Why it matters?

  • Catch issues early before construction starts
  • Make faster decisions with one shared model
  • Confirm layout + flow in 3D (not just 2D drawings)
  • Test finishes & materials before ordering

Your Vision Brought to Life

We live in three dimensions.  We build in three dimensions.  Let’s plan your next project the same way. We’re firm believers that giving our customers the ability to see their finished project long before groundbreaking is one of the most valuable services we offer. Modifications are easy and don’t require change orders in the virtual project we create for our customers.  Waiting until the project is under construction to realize a change needs to be made is expensive and puts a strain on the schedule.

State of the Art 3D Facility Scanning

3D facility scanning is a versatile tool that serves various needs across industries, making it an indispensable part of modern facility management and engineering projects.

Build Baseline Information

  • Create as-built CAD drawings and 3D point cloud of existing buildings if none exist
  • Utilize notes and tags to label all relevant plant & equipment information

Streamline Collaboration

  • Reduce the need for travel between facilities for meetings
  • Reduce the amount of time needed to convey facility information
  • Use scan to optimize plant operations
  • Effectively plan facility upgrades and line modifications

Reduce Risk

  • Onboard employees easily by familiarizing them with the facility and their work area before they start
  • Embed training videos and safety requirements into digital twin so new employees can hit the ground running
  • Create disaster response and emergency egress plans
