dck worldwide has successfully completed a number of Design-Build projects. We team with our clients to become the single source for the design and construction of the project. As the design-builder, dck worldwide takes the owner’s concept, and teaming with the architect and consultants, ensures that the right combination of functionality, aesthetics, and constructability are designed into the project with a realistic appraisal of costs. A design-build contract allows mobilization and construction activities to begin while the design is still on-going, taking months off of the project and an opportunity for the client to realize savings in time and cost at an early date in the development.

Our design-build services offer the client:

A single point of contractual responsibility

An efficient, cost effective, and constructible design

Additional control of schedule and cost

Improved coordination between designer and constructor

An enhanced overall team approach
