DESIGN AND BUILD
Our design and build solutions provide complete integration of design, project management, and on-site execution. When choosing our contracting services, our clients receive the distinct benefits of a single point of accountability through the course of the project – from concept development to hand over. While taking responsibility for both designing and building processes, we don’t have the luxury of designing a product and leaving it up to the contractor to figure out how to cost and build it. We are the contractor. So, everything we design is built on the foundations of feasibility, practical and a realistic cost awareness.
Our contracting teams are thoroughly trained in the most best health and safety, efficient and quality-oriented construction practices, resulting in an excellent finish. Our efficient well structured project management ensures that both the costing estimation and construction scheduling are initiated early on in the design process. This allows budgets and designs to be developed simultaneously ensuring adherence to both cost parameters as well as timelines.
