Design-build construction is an integrated delivery model for infrastructure improvement projects in which a single entity, working under one contract, performs the project’s design and construction. Because there is only one contract, the design-builder sees the project from the initial design concept to construction completion, carrying single-source accountability. Benefits of this approach include reduced owner risk, higher quality, quicker delivery, and cost efficiencies.

We help Florida public entities implement facility upgrades that are funded through guaranteed energy and operational savings — often with no upfront capital required.

Typical improvements include:

• HVAC and building automation upgrades
• LED lighting and controls
• Central plant optimization
• Water conservation systems
• Renewable energy solutions, including solar

Every project includes performance guarantees, giving you financial confidence and operational certainty.

We help cities and towns transition to smart infrastructure. Our team works with cities and towns to develop tailored, multifaceted approaches to infrastructure improvements that can be completed with budget-neutral financing.

Before beginning an infrastructure-related renovation project, the first key step is to conduct a preliminary facility condition and energy assessment to identify how facilities are currently operating, identify potential issues, and provide a blueprint for future improvements. Once the assessment is completed, our clients have a thorough roadmap for planning their renovation projects. If they choose to proceed with a project, our integrated team can help implement it from start to finish.

We partner with our clients to determine what water and energy reduction strategies can impact the bottom line and contribute to a sustainable future. Through advanced metering infrastructure and wastewater treatment plant projects, we help clients save money while providing operational efficiencies.

We have an in-house solar development and operations team of professional engineers and project managers who take a comprehensive approach to ensure solar solutions are designed to meet clients’ long-range energy master plans and needs. Our team proactively ensures holistic, right-sized, integrated design, installation, and performance monitoring and reporting throughout the process.

As a leader in design and construction, we understand that programming precedes design. As a result, we employ educational planners as core design team members. They work with our clients and design team to examine educational needs, growth capacity, current infrastructure, learning environment, safety, accessibility, curricular enhancement, technology, site traffic flow, and space needs for special education offerings.
