What is Design Build Construction?

Simply put, Design Build Construction is a type of delivery system for construction, that involves the purchasing party contracting with one company or team of companies, under one contract, in order to complete the project. The Company (or Team) then performs the entire project from design, to permitting, to construction, to fit out, all under one contract.

Do you sell Steel Buildings without actually erecting them?

Yes, we do, and offer very competitive pricing compared to other Steel Building Companies throughout the country. The difference we offer is we are local, so we know the codes and a large portion of the permitting requirements, so we can assist you as your prepare to do your project. We also walk you through your wants and your needs to make sure you get a complete building package with doors, windows, insulation, and other accessories you may desire.

How long does it take from concept to completion on a project?

The real answer to this question is we have no idea. There are a lot of factors involved with time frames in construction. Permitting, weather, funding, the size of the project, all play major roles in the completion time for a project.

How long does it take for the delivery of a steel building?

On average 6-8 weeks from release for manufacture, but factors such as complexity and size do enter into the scheduling of building delivery.

I already bought a steel building, can you help me erect it?

We can help you, but typically when we do, we work on a time and material basis. We are good at what we do, but not all steel buildings are created equal. We will do our best to help you, and we will provide an estimate for our services, but we cannot guarantee the accuracy of the price, due to the differences that we can not always anticipate.
