Plan & Spec

Plan and Spec reflects a method of project delivery where an architect designs a project and multiple construction companies will bid on that project. These projects will usually be for large developers or national retailers who already have a proven model, or for projects on a larger more complex scale such as a hospital or distribution facility. With the ever increasing number of shopping centers and chain retailers expanding across the country, plan and spec projects are predominately the preferred method. The underlying beauty behind acquiring plan and spec projects is not only the consistency in the end user’s systems and expectations, but also maintaining lasting relationships for any future needs the client might have. Mostly, our Plan and Spec clients become repeat clients later down the road. This allows us to continue to build on the steadfast reputation that McDowell Construction already has.
