Renovations, Additions, and New Construction for Public Facilities
Design and construction should be a seamless process, not another project for you to manage.
As a single, accountable partner, we handle every step of the process, from planning and design through construction, so you don’t have to coordinate multiple teams.
We partner with school districts, higher education, cities, counties, and towns to deliver additions, renovations, and new facilities with cost certainty and guaranteed performance. From classrooms and community centers to city halls and public safety buildings, we lead each project with one unified team. We are passionate about creating spaces that serve people well today and into the future.
A One-Stop-Shop for Design & Construction
- 1. Design
- 2. Construction
- 2. Completion
- 4. Optimization
1. Design
Our process begins with architectural design that is grounded in performance, budget reality, and long-term usability. Our in-house architects and engineers collaborate closely with your stakeholders to translate goals into buildable solutions, ensuring scope, schedule, and cost remain aligned from the start. Because design and construction are fully integrated, plans are realistic, coordinated, and optimized for execution. There’s never a need for value engineering.
2. Construction
Once the design phase is complete, we lead construction without handoffs or re-bidding, maintaining continuity and accountability. Unlike other methods, where owners often retain significant risk, our model keeps responsibility with us. We manage contractors, schedules, and costs while maintaining transparency throughout the construction process.
2. Completion
Project closeout is a critical transition from construction to operation. We lead commissioning and closeout to ensure systems perform as designed and staff are prepared to operate the facility. Our goal is a smooth handoff and a facility ready to perform from day one.
4. Optimization
Because of our background in performance contracting, we extend accountability beyond construction. After completion, we support facilities through performance monitoring and optimization to help ensure systems operate efficiently and effectively, while maintaining occupant comfort. Our long-term focus protects your investment and reinforces confidence well after occupancy.
The Design Team Committed to Your Project
Our internal architectural and engineering professionals are a core part of our delivery model—not external consultants working in isolation.
With extensive experience in public-sector design and construction, our team understands the impact of early design decisions on budgets, schedules, and long-term operations. They work hand in hand with our engineers and construction managers, using virtual design and construction tools to ensure every project is designed to budget and delivered efficiently.
We are proud to have been recognized as a 2025 Emerging Professional Exemplary Firm by AIA Indiana. This program celebrates firms that provide exceptional support and opportunities for early professionals

Creating Success Stories
From targeted renovations to full-scale new construction or even adaptive reuse, our team delivers spaces that serve real needs and adapt to future demands. Check out some of our work below.
Choosing the Right Delivery Method
Public construction projects are inherently complex. Leaders must balance budget limitations, procurement rules, operational continuity, and long-term performance while remaining accountable to boards, councils, and communities.
Traditional delivery methods, including Construction Management at Risk (CMAR), often divide responsibility across multiple contracts. This can lead to misalignment between design and construction, late-stage changes, cost escalation, and increased risk for the owner.
Design-Build vs. Construction Management at-Risk
The Benefits of Design-Build with Performance Services
Reduced Risk
By unifying design and construction from the start, budgets are validated as plans develop. This reduces late-stage changes, limits contingencies, and avoids change orders caused by design gaps, providing greater financial predictability than CMAR.
Faster Project Schedule
Hard stops and fixed move-in dates are the reality of a school or community calendar. Project schedule overruns have ripple-effect consequences that extend beyond financial costs. Our process features a parallel project schedule and exceptional communication, which supports aggressive project timelines. We deliver on time, every time.
Improved Construction Quality
Our performance-driven approach ensures facilities are not only delivered efficiently, but also operate as intended over time. From energy efficiency to occupant comfort, we design and build spaces that deliver lasting value and not just day-one completion.
