Design Build Industrial Delivery
Single source design build delivery for faster industrial project completion across North Texas.
Design-build industrial delivery consolidates design and construction responsibility under a single general contractor, eliminating the coordination gaps that plague traditional design-bid-build projects. For property developers and owner-occupiers in North Richland Hills and the greater DFW region, design-build means faster project completion, reduced change orders, and a single point of accountability from concept through commissioning.
Our design-build approach begins during the earliest stages of project conceptualization. We work alongside your architects and engineers-or bring in our preferred design partners-to develop construction documents that reflect both your operational requirements and market realities. This collaborative process identifies cost drivers early, allowing design decisions to be made with full understanding of their budget and schedule implications.
The North Texas industrial market moves fast, and design-build enables you to start construction while design is still being finalized. We develop early packages for site work and foundations, allowing these activities to proceed while building design is completed. This concurrent approach can compress schedules by 20-30% compared to traditional delivery methods, getting your facility operational sooner.
Design-build works particularly well for owner-occupiers with specific operational requirements. Manufacturing facilities, cold storage buildings, and specialized distribution centers benefit from the close coordination between design professionals and construction teams. We ensure that structural, mechanical, and electrical systems are designed for constructability while meeting your performance specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does design-build differ from traditional construction?
In traditional construction, the owner contracts separately with an architect and a general contractor. Design-build consolidates both under one contract, with the general contractor responsible for both design and construction. This eliminates finger-pointing between designers and builders and gives you a single accountable party.
Do we lose control over the design in design-build?
Not at all. Design-build gives you more control, not less. You're involved in design decisions from day one, with immediate feedback on cost and schedule implications. Every design choice is made collaboratively with full transparency about its impact on your project.
Is design-build more expensive than traditional delivery?
Design-build typically delivers lower total project cost by eliminating change orders caused by design-construction disconnects. The integrated team identifies and resolves potential conflicts during design, before they become expensive field changes. Value engineering is continuous, not a one-time exercise.
Can we use our own architect with your design-build services?
Yes. We work effectively with owner-preferred architects and engineers, integrating them into our design-build process. The key is early involvement-bringing construction expertise to the table while design is still being developed.
What types of industrial projects work best for design-build?
Design-build excels for projects where speed matters, operational requirements are well-defined, or the building has specialized systems. Manufacturing facilities, food-grade distribution centers, cold storage, and owner-occupied production buildings are ideal candidates.
