Design Build

The design-build approach creates a unified, streamlined process from project conception to completion. At McDowell Construction, we offer this method to help clients move efficiently through every phase of construction—minimizing delays, reducing costs, and simplifying communication.

Design-build fosters open collaboration between the owner and contractor, enabling faster decision-making and stronger budget control from the outset. By addressing constructability issues early and maintaining continuous coordination, the project benefits from improved scheduling, cost predictability, and fewer surprises.

In a true design-build model, the owner works directly with a single entity—McDowell Construction—who assumes full responsibility for both design and construction. This eliminates the disconnect that often arises between architects and builders in traditional plan-and-spec projects.

As your design-builder, McDowell Construction is accountable for delivering a project that meets your needs, stays on budget, and is completed on time. With deep experience in this approach, we help clients avoid common pitfalls like designs exceeding budgets, coordination gaps, or delays due to misaligned teams. Partnering with us ensures cohesive execution, streamlined communication, and a single source of accountability from start to finish.
