Design-Build & Preconstruction

Better Decisions Before Construction Begins

An integrated approach that brings design awareness, preconstruction planning and construction into one coordinated process.

Many buildings are shaped by decisions made before the first material is ordered. Design-build brings the planning, design coordination and construction team into the same conversation so scope, budget, structure and schedule can be evaluated together.

Arcco Group provides early project evaluation, site and feasibility conversations, preliminary scope development, design coordination, constructability input, budget alignment, delivery-method planning and permit and approval coordination alongside general contracting and construction management.

Delivery Methods

Commercial Project Delivery

Arcco Group is familiar with a range of delivery structures. The right approach depends on the project’s scope, schedule, risk profile and stakeholders.

Design-Bid-Build

A traditional approach in which design is completed before contractors bid on a defined scope of work.

Design-Build

A single team handles design and construction together to coordinate scope, budget and schedule earlier.

Construction Manager at Risk

A construction manager joins the project during design and later commits to deliver the work within an agreed price.

Construction Management Multi-Prime

The owner contracts directly with multiple prime contractors under a coordinating construction manager.

Public-Private Partnerships

Public and private entities share responsibility for delivering and often operating a project.

Integrated Project Delivery

Owner, designer and builder share responsibility, risk and reward under a collaborative agreement.
