General contractor and design-builder for the Pacific Northwest · Since 1971

Design-Build

One contract, one team and one point of responsibility, with architects and engineers working inside our schedule and budget.

Designers marking up a floor plan together, seen from above.

In design-build we hold the architect's and engineers' contracts and deliver the finished building to your requirements. Design and construction overlap, decisions are made in one room, and you have a single team accountable for cost, time and quality.

  • Design team selection and management
  • Owner's program and performance requirements turned into a design
  • Progressive or lump-sum pricing
  • Overlapped design and construction
  • Permitting and utility coordination
  • Single-source warranty
How it works

The sequence, step by step.

  1. Requirements

    We document your program, budget, schedule and performance requirements.

  2. Concept and price

    Concept design and a price, either fixed or progressive in stages.

  3. Design and early work

    Site and structure start while interiors are still being designed.

  4. Handover

    One team turns over the building, the manuals and the warranty.
