Our Design-Build Process
Concept & Budget
We meet with you to understand the project goals, establish a realistic budget, and develop a preliminary design concept.
Engineering Design
Our team produces construction-ready electrical drawings, specs equipment, and engineers the system to meet code and your operational requirements.
Construction
The same team that designed the system builds it. No interpretation gaps, no change orders from design conflicts, no finger-pointing.
Commissioning
We test, document, and commission the system. You get as-built drawings, O&M manuals, and our 1-year warranty.
Design-Build Cost Advantages
Design-build typically saves 10-20% compared to traditional design-bid-build:
- Eliminated design-to-construction communication gaps
- Value engineering built into the design process
- Reduced change orders
- Faster schedule (design and construction overlap)
- Single contract and single point of accountability
- Project costs depend on scope and complexity — we provide guaranteed maximum pricing
Electrical Design-Build FAQs
How is design-build different from traditional bidding?
In traditional design-bid-build, an engineer designs the system, then contractors bid on the construction. This creates a gap between designer and builder. In design-build, we do both — so we design systems we know how to build efficiently, and we build exactly what we designed.
Is design-build cheaper?
Typically yes — 10-20% savings compared to traditional methods. Savings come from value engineering, fewer change orders, and faster timelines. We can also offer guaranteed maximum pricing for budget certainty.
What size projects do you design-build?
We handle design-build projects from small tenant build-outs ($25,000) to large industrial installations ($1M+). The process benefits any project where traditional bidding adds unnecessary time or cost.
Do you stamp drawings?
We partner with licensed Professional Engineers (PEs) for projects that require stamped drawings. For many projects, our in-house design capability is sufficient for permitting.
