Whether you're planning new commercial construction, an industrial design build project, or a complex renovation, our team is your trusted partner

Understanding the Integrated Approach
The design build meaning is simple yet powerful: it's a project delivery system where one entity – the design-build contractor or design build firm – performs both architectural/engineering design and construction services under a single contract. Unlike traditional methods that separate these phases and responsibilities, our design build construction process fosters collaboration from day one. This means improved communication, streamlined workflows, and a shared commitment to your project's success. We handle everything, making us your single point of responsibility for quality, cost, and schedule adherence.
The Advantages of Our
Design-Build Delivery Method
Single Point of Responsibility
One contract, one team. This simplifies communication and accountability. Our integrated team works together from the start, fostering creative solutions and ensuring the design is buildable and efficient. The design and build contractor assumes responsibility for both design and construction, minimizing owner risk and direct lines of communication prevent misunderstandings or delays often found in traditional project structures.
Cost Savings
Early collaboration between designers and builders allows for value engineering and cost control from the outset. The design build contract often leads to fewer change orders and budget overruns. Our team works with you to design a space that meets your requirements all while ensuring we remain within your approved budget.
Innovative Design Methods and Transparent Processes
We are not a traditional construction company. We are seasoned design build contractors with a track record of successful commercial design and build projects. Using our client centric approach, we prioritize your needs and vision, ensuring open communication and transparency throughout the design build process. We do this by using virtual reality technology to ensure we are designing a space that closely reflects the final build. No more deciding your style from a set of tiny samples that are hard to visualize in a space. Furthermore, we offer all our clients access to cameras and picture updates of their space to maximize transparency of our process and progress.

Design & Build Construction Process
Our team of commercial construction professionals is dedicated to turning your vision into reality, combining creativity, innovation, and expertise to deliver exceptional results.
Workshop & Conceptual Design
We start by understanding your vision, requirements, goals, budget, identity of your brand and timeline. Our team develops initial design concepts in 2D and provides preliminary budget estimates, ensuring alignment with your objectives.

Detailed Design & Engineering
Once the concept is approved, we move into 3D rendering, detailed architectural and engineering design, incorporating your feedback and optimizing for constructibility. This includes construction design services providers within our integrated team. We finalize plans, secure necessary permits, and prepare for the construction phase.

Construction
Our skilled construction team brings the design to life, managed by experienced project managers who ensure quality, safety, and adherence to schedule and budget. This phase includes material procurement as well as all other aspects required for project completion. We deliver high-quality construction that provides long-term value for your investment.

Post-Construction & Handover
We conduct thorough quality checks, provide all necessary documentation, and ensure a smooth handover of your completed commercial facility. We understand the local building codes, permitting processes, and market conditions in the Tampa Bay Area/ Florida, ensuring a smoother project handover.

Your Top Questions Answered
What is a design-build contract?
A design build contract is a single agreement between the owner and the design-build firm, covering all aspects of design and construction, simplifying project management and accountability.
How does design-build differ from design-bid-build?
In design-bid-build, the owner hires an architect to design, then separately bids out the construction. Design-build integrates these, with one firm responsible for both, fostering better collaboration and efficiency.
How long does it take for an initial space layout?
Our team typically delivers an initial spatial layout within 5-7 business days after gathering all necessary project details. We prioritize efficiency without compromising on quality to ensure your project moves forward smoothly.
