Design-Build Advantages
Concept
We leverage our experience and resources to provide conceptual site plans early in the site selection process. This gives our clients a leg up on the competition by allowing them to move quickly on real estate opportunities.
Due Diligence
Once we have a conceptual plan, we leverage our expertise and internal team of engineers and architects to ensure the concept is feasible. We visit the site to determine logistics, restrictions, entitlements and necessary permitting.
In-House Design
We collaborate with our internal team of architects and structural engineers to accelerate permitting and construction plans for your facility. This allows us to create drawings faster than our competitors. The sooner your permit is approved, the better.
Construction
A dedicated Design/Build Manager, working with an experienced Superintendent, provides ongoing communication about the status of construction through every step of the project.
Post-Construction & Commissioning
Upon completion of your facility, ARCO proactively confirms that the facility and related building systems are operating at the highest level of functional integrity and reliability.
Single-Source of Accountability
Our Design/Build Managers have single source accountability with our customers for total delivery of their real estate project. While working with your Design/Build Manager, you’ll be working with a multi-disciplined engineer capable of advising you on all aspects of a project, reducing project time, coordination mistakes, headaches, and giving you peace of mind.
