Using a design build delivery approach, many owners call on Raymond Construction to be the “single source” or point person in overseeing the delivery of complete achitectural/engineering design and construction services. Working with a negotiated contract, our construction team participates in the planning process along with the design team much earlier than what a competitive bid process allows.

Based on our experience, preliminary design using construction knowledge up front can take your conceptual sketch or idea to completion faster and at a dramatic savings in cost.

A design build process provides owners with the following benefits:

• everyone involved is working as an effective team from the start
• improves quality control
• develops more accurate initial budget costs and schedules
• provides an opportunity for early implementation of cost savings ideas
• reduces hidden costs and the number of change orders
• reduces the amount of time required to design and build a project
• provides clear definitions of project requirements early on
• facility requirements defined in performance terms offers flexibility
