Design Build Industrial Construction Texas
One team. One contract. Faster delivery. Design build consolidates responsibility for streamlined industrial project execution.
Design build delivery fundamentally changes how industrial projects get executed. Instead of separate contracts for design and construction, owners engage one team responsible for both. This integration eliminates the adversarial relationships that often develop when designers and builders work under separate agreements. For industrial projects where speed matters, design build delivers measurable schedule advantages.
Our design build approach brings construction expertise into the design process from day one. While architects develop building layouts and specifications, our estimators provide real time cost feedback and our field teams advise on constructability. This collaboration produces designs that build efficiently and meet budgets without extensive value engineering after documents are complete.
Texas industrial users increasingly select design build for its speed and accountability. When one team owns the outcome, decisions happen faster and problems get solved without contract disputes. Our design build projects consistently deliver ahead of traditional design bid build schedules.

Project Specifications
Design build success depends on assembling the right team and establishing clear communication protocols. We partner with experienced industrial architects who understand the collaborative nature of design build delivery. Our integrated teams work from shared project goals rather than separate contractual interests.
Early contractor involvement during design development pays dividends throughout the project. Our preconstruction teams identify long lead items, flag constructability concerns, and provide progressive cost estimates as design evolves. Owners see budget implications of design decisions in real time rather than after bid day surprises.
The Texas industrial market rewards speed. Design build enables fast track scheduling where construction activities begin while design continues on later phases. Site work can proceed while building design develops. Steel can be ordered while interior layouts are finalized. This parallel execution compresses overall timelines significantly.
Accountability defines design build value. When issues arise during construction, our team solves them rather than pointing fingers between designer and builder. This ownership mentality produces better outcomes and maintains owner relationships throughout challenging projects.
How We Execute
Program Definition
Work with your team to define building requirements, site constraints, budget parameters, and schedule targets.
Conceptual Design
Develop initial building concepts with integrated cost and schedule analysis. Evaluate options and select preferred direction.
Design Development
Advance design with ongoing constructability review and cost validation. Identify and procure long lead items.
Fast Track Construction
Begin site work while building design completes. Execute construction with design team support for field decisions.
Project Completion
Deliver completed facility with full documentation, warranty information, and maintenance recommendations.
Why Choose Us
Accelerated Schedule
Fast track execution overlaps design and construction phases. Projects deliver months faster than traditional delivery.
Single Point Accountability
One contract covers design and construction. No disputes between separate parties. Clear responsibility for outcomes.
Real Time Cost Control
Progressive budgeting during design prevents cost surprises. Decisions are made with full understanding of budget impact.
Better Coordination
Integrated teams communicate freely without contractual barriers. Problems get solved rather than negotiated.
Optimized Design
Construction input during design improves buildability. Buildings are designed to construct efficiently.
Common Questions
How does design build pricing work for industrial projects?
Design build contracts typically establish pricing progressively as design develops. We provide conceptual budgets early, then refine estimates through design development until reaching a guaranteed maximum price or lump sum at an agreed design completion point.
Do I lose control over design decisions with design build?
No. Design build actually gives owners more informed control. You make design decisions with real time cost and schedule feedback. Our process includes formal owner approval milestones before proceeding to construction.
How much faster is design build compared to traditional delivery?
Design build industrial projects in Texas typically deliver 2 to 4 months faster than comparable design bid build projects. The exact savings depend on project size and complexity, with larger projects often seeing greater schedule compression.
What happens if design changes are needed during construction?
Design changes during construction are handled through our change order process. Because we control both design and construction, changes are evaluated quickly and implemented efficiently without the finger pointing common in traditional delivery.
Can you work with a specific architect on design build projects?
Yes. We regularly incorporate owner preferred architects into our design build teams. We establish collaboration agreements that maintain the integrated delivery approach while honoring existing relationships.
