Design-Build Services

The Design-Build Contractor provides a service to the owner instead of representing the owner.  In a Design-Build relationship the owner takes a more active role in the day-to-day details of the construction project.  The owner tells the contractor what he wants to see achieved in a construction project.  The contractor then designs, develops and delivers the project on time and budget, consulting with the owner on every phase.  Another aspect of the Design-Build Service is "Build Only".  In this capacity the owner may already have plans, a site, etc. and only need complete building, particular building aspects or project management by a contractor.  DOWCO Construction provides, but is not limited to, the following Design-Build services:

 

Traditional Bid Services Project Management Pre-construction Consulting Architecture Coordination
Cost Analysis & Construction Feasibility Construction Estimating Planning & Conceptual Design Home Improvement / New Construction
Concrete Demolition Decks Driveways & Parking Lots
Electrical Flooring Glass Blocks Remodeling / Restoration
