Design-Build

Design-Build is a project delivery system that includes consulting, designing and construction under one contract. This method not only reduces the amount of administrative work necessary by the Owner, but also provides for faster project delivery and better control of costs and quality.

JD&E has completed over $400 million of design-build projects in the last fifteen years and understands how to integrate the best practices of construction into the design. JD&E has an extensive background in performing value engineering and constructability reviews, while keeping a good balance between cost and quality.
