Design-Build

The modern approach to construction. Faster, cost-effective, and collaborative.

Why Design-Build?

Traditional "Design-Bid-Build" often leads to adversarial relationships between architects and contractors, resulting in change orders and delays. Design-Build unifies the workflow.

Single Point of Responsibility

One contract. One team. No finger-pointing. We are accountable for cost, schedule, and quality from day one.

Faster Delivery

Because design and construction phases overlap, projects are delivered up to 30% faster than traditional methods.

Cost Certainty

We price the project as we design it, eliminating the shock of bid-day overages. You know the cost before construction begins.

Our Process

  1. 1. Feasibility & Concept

    We evaluate the site, zoning, and your budget to create a viable concept. No money is wasted on unbuildable designs.

  2. 2. Design & Budgeting

    Our architects develop plans while our estimators price them in real-time. Value engineering happens proactively.

  3. 3. Preconstruction & Permitting

    We handle all City of Tulsa permitting and subcontractor buyout while finalizing the schedule.

  4. 4. Construction

    Our PMP-certified superintendents manage the build with a focus on safety (OSHA 30) and speed.

  5. 5. Closeout

    We deliver O&M manuals, warranty documents, and train your staff on building systems.
