Seamless collaborations
Design-Build unites architects, builders and educational professionals from day one. We Build Smart by taking ownership in finding the best solutions for your district.
Best-value solutions
Early contractor involvement in Design-Build leads to accurate budgeting that makes every dollar count. This maximizes your ROI without compromising quality or functionality goals.
30% faster deliveries
Design-Build’s streamlined process means design, procurement and construction phases overlap — while ensuring campus life is always taken into consideration.
Smart management saves $600,000
Mooresville school officials were in a pinch: students needed a bigger high school, and the board needed creative solutions on a tight budget and timeline. Our team delivered a strategic renovation that minimized risk by aligning design and construction to meet the district’s needs.
- $600,000+ added value through strategic scope changes
- State-of-the-art systems that saved up to 45% on energy and water usage
- Flexible project management organized around the school calendar
Everyone benefits from collaboration and communication
If there’s one thing we’ve learned delivering 4,500 projects for some of America’s most influential companies, it’s that every project is unique. We’ve learned by doing. We’ve done just about everything. And there’s always more to learn. That’s why we’re guided by Build Smart.
- A mutual, open process to ensure key stakeholders shape construction
- Fresh and relevant ideas via an adaptive learning mindset
- Intuitive solutions that speak to the unique needs of your students
From design delays to an 18-month triumph
While Design-Build is 90% of what we do, we’ve also honed other delivery methods, too. After Granite City High School faced numerous design delays from a different architect, they looked to us for Construction Management (CM) answers — and we finished their 30-month project in just 18 months.
- Significant demolition, abatement and mechanical upgrades
- Minimal disruption while updating a 1921 school for 1,000+ students
- Comprehensive problem-solving that paved the way for future collaborations
