To complement the traditional bid side of our business, and to offer clients single-source accountability for design, development and construction, we adopted the Design-Build approach in 1973. Since that time, we have enjoyed rapid sales growth throughout North America from the remote Arctic to large metropolitan areas in the USA.



The Design-Build construction methodology assures that we will be responsible for a project from design to completion. Working with our clients, we guide projects through the various stages of development, including:

  • preliminary design
  • preliminary budget
  • final design
  • guaranteed pricing
  • regulatory approval
  • construction
  • commissioning and turnover

In the Design-Build process, design and construction are overlapped and integrated, from preliminary design through to project completion, ensuring that all disciplines are fully synchronized and coordinated. Benefits include reduced costs, improved flexibility and shorter project schedules.



Our extensive experience in Design-Build projects allows us to bring a unique team-based perspective to our traditional Design-Bid-Build, Project Management and Construction Management projects
