Design-Build Services
At MPS Engineering & Construction, we offer comprehensive design-build services that streamline the construction process by combining design and construction into a single, unified contract. This approach fosters collaboration, enhances efficiency, and simplifies communication from project conception through completion. For clients looking for a seamless and cost-effective building experience, design-build delivers faster timelines, greater accountability, and reduced risks.
As both your designer and builder, MPS becomes your single point of contact, responsible for delivering results that align with your vision, budget, and schedule. Whether you’re planning a commercial, industrial, institutional, or government project, our design-build method ensures a smoother path to completion with fewer surprises along the way.
What Is Design-Build?
Design-build is a project delivery method where one entity manages both the design and construction phases under a single contract. Instead of hiring an architect, engineer, and general contractor separately, you work with MPS from the start—allowing for a fully integrated approach that promotes collaboration and problem-solving.
This method benefits the owner by:
- Accelerating project schedules
- Reducing administrative burden
- Allowing earlier cost estimates and greater budget control
- Minimizing change orders and miscommunication
- Enhancing quality through design and construction coordination
Our Design-Build Process
MPS Engineering & Construction follows a proven design-build process that guides your project from concept to closeout with clarity and precision.
1. Initial Consultation and Planning
We start by learning about your goals, timeline, and budget. During this phase, we evaluate your needs, gather input, and assess any site or regulatory considerations.
2. Conceptual Design and Feasibility
Our design team creates preliminary plans and layouts based on your input. We explore design options, assess feasibility, and align the design with your operational and aesthetic preferences.
3. Budgeting and Scheduling
As designs evolve, we provide accurate cost estimates and project schedules. Our team uses real-world data from past projects to help you make informed decisions early—reducing the risk of costly adjustments later.
4. Detailed Design Development
We continue refining the design while coordinating with structural, mechanical, electrical, and civil engineering requirements. The result is a well-integrated set of documents that fully reflect your vision and goals.
5. Permitting and Approvals
We manage all necessary submittals for zoning, building permits, and agency approvals. Our team’s experience with local regulations ensures a smoother, faster process.
6. Construction and Project Management
With plans in place and approvals secured, our construction team mobilizes and gets to work. We manage all trades, inspections, and quality control measures, keeping you informed throughout the process.
7. Closeout and Handover
At completion, we conduct final inspections, address punch-list items, and ensure all documentation is provided. We hand over a fully functional, code-compliant facility ready for occupancy and use.
