Design-Build: A Smarter Way to Build

Traditional construction methods often lead to inefficiencies, miscommunication, and costly delays. Jewett Construction’s design-build approach eliminates these challenges by streamlining every phase of your project. From initial concept to final completion, our integrated process ensures collaboration, cost control, and faster project delivery—without sacrificing quality.

1. What Is Design-Build?

Unlike the conventional design-bid-build model, where separate entities handle design and construction, the design-build process brings everything under one roof. This means a single contract, a unified team, and a seamless workflow, significantly reducing risks and accelerating project completion. At Jewett Construction, we serve as your single-source partner, combining design expertise with hands-on construction management to ensure a cohesive project from start to finish.

2. The Benefits of Choosing Design-Build

  • Single Source of Accountability: One contract. One partner. One shared vision—resulting in faster decisions and fewer delays.
  • Coordinated Communication: With designers and builders aligned, your project flows seamlessly from planning through execution.
  • Value Engineering from the Start: We optimize each phase to deliver the highest quality at the most efficient cost.
  • Cost and Schedule Certainty: Our integrated approach reduces risk and increases confidence in timelines and budgets.

3. How Our Design-Build Process Works

At Jewett Construction, we take a structured yet flexible approach to design-build, ensuring every stage is handled with precision.

Step 1: Initial Consultation & Planning

We begin by understanding your project goals, budget, and timeline. Our team collaborates with you to establish clear objectives, ensuring that every design and construction decision aligns with your business needs.

Step 2: Integrated Design & Value Engineering

Our architects and engineers work alongside our construction experts to develop a functional, cost-effective design. Through value engineering, we identify opportunities to enhance efficiency and sustainability while maintaining structural integrity and aesthetics.

Step 3: Preconstruction & Permitting

We handle all necessary permitting and regulatory approvals, avoiding common roadblocks that can cause delays. Our preconstruction planning ensures that materials, labor, and logistics are coordinated for a seamless transition into construction.

Step 4: Construction Execution

With all stakeholders aligned, our construction team executes the project efficiently, maintaining quality and safety standards. Throughout this phase, we conduct regular progress reviews and maintain open communication to ensure smooth delivery.

Step 5: Project Completion & Post-Construction Support

Upon project completion, we perform final inspections, provide as-built documentation, and offer post-construction support to ensure your facility operates at peak performance.

4. Industries That Benefit from Design-Build
