Design-Build Services
Design-Build is the fastest growing and most popular method used to deliver construction projects in the United States. What is design-build? Design-build is when the owner manages only one contract with a single point of responsibility. The designer and contractor work together from the beginning, as a team, providing unified project recommendations to fit the owner’s schedule and budget. Any changes are addressed by the entire team, leading to collaborative problem-solving and innovation.
