Design-build means the people who draw it are the people who build it. No handoff between an architect's office and a contractor's site — one team, one schedule, one point of accountability.
That's what closes the gap between an 11-month build and an 18-month one. Every stage below is tracked against the schedule we hand you at contract signing, not revised quietly as we go.
Topographic survey, soil test, and boundary verification before a single design line is drawn.
Cut to design levels, shoring where the soil report calls for it, spoil removed same-day.
Footings poured to the structural engineer's spec, cured, and inspected before framing starts.
Structural skeleton up floor by floor, with a third-party structural inspection at every level.
Walls, roof, and glazing close the building in while electrical and plumbing rough-in runs in parallel.
Snag list walked with the client in person, closed out item by item before the keys change hands.
A row of eight townhomes on a former industrial lot, delivered a month ahead of contract.
A ground-up outpatient clinic, built to shell-and-core in ten months and fit out in four.
A 22-unit low-rise, framed in cross-laminated timber to hit a tighter carbon target.
“We got the same six-stage schedule at the kickoff meeting that we got at handover. Nothing on it moved without a call first.”
“The weekly log meant we never had to chase anyone for an update — it just showed up, every Friday, whether the news was good or not.”
“Third-party inspection at every framing level sounded like overkill until our lender asked for exactly that documentation at draw three.”
Send the basics and we'll call within one business day to schedule a site walk — no obligation, no hard sell.
