Design-Build Construction
Design-Build Construction

Design-build construction is an integrated procurement option for capital 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 risk of messy renovations is diminished, as the design-builder is solely responsible for the project. Benefits include reduced owner risk, high-quality outcomes, on-time completion, and cost efficiencies.
Educational Programming
Educational Programming

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

Before beginning an infrastructure-related renovation project, the first critical step is to conduct a preliminary facility condition and energy assessment to identify how facilities are currently operating, identify issues, and provide a blueprint for future improvements. Once the evaluation is completed, clients have a defined roadmap for planning renovation projects. If you choose to proceed with a project, our team will design and construct your project from start to finish.
Guaranteed Energy Savings Projects
Guaranteed Energy Savings Projects

Performance contracting is a flexible funding mechanism that allows schools to finance energy-focused infrastructure projects with the guaranteed energy and efficiency savings of the infrastructure improvements. As a result, no upfront capital is required.
