Our Process
How we plan and deliver design-build construction
In design-build construction, the owner enters one primary agreement with the design-builder for both design and construction. The design-builder engages the architectural and engineering consultants and coordinates their work with construction planning.
- 01 Send your inquiry, a few photos or a description of the site.
- 02 We come out, assess the site, take measurements, and confirm the scope.
- 03 We complete the design-build construction on site, to the load and finish the job needs.
- 04 We install it, finish to grade, and clean up, one accountable crew, start to finish.
Finished On Site

Clean site work and a tidy finish, coordinated with your engineers, the other trades, and the surrounding site conditions, built to the engineered drawings and the applicable codes.

FAQ
Design-Build Construction FAQ
What is design-build construction?
Design-build places design and construction under one primary agreement between the owner and design-builder. The design-builder engages the consultants and coordinates their work with estimating, procurement and construction delivery.
How is design-build different from hiring a general contractor?
Under traditional design-bid-build, the owner usually holds the consultant contract and later hires a GC to construct the completed design. In design-build, the owner contracts with one entity for both design and construction responsibilities.
Can construction start before every drawing is complete?
Selected early packages may proceed when their design, approvals, boundaries and dependencies are sufficiently defined. Ardenvale identifies the information needed for each release so early work does not rely on unstable assumptions.
How does pricing work during design-build?
Cost information develops with the design. Early estimates use stated systems, quantities, allowances and assumptions. Those are reconciled at milestones until the scope supports the agreed construction price or other contract arrangement.
Does design-build avoid owner decisions?
No. The owner still defines requirements, approves key decisions and supplies timely information. Design-build consolidates the delivery team, but it works best when decision authority and review periods are clear.
What projects suit design-build?
The model can suit industrial, commercial and institutional owners who value single-contract responsibility, early construction input and coordinated design-procurement overlap. The owner’s brief and desired risk allocation should be reviewed before selecting it.
