A.R. Brouwer’s services include all project delivery methods, including General Contracting (Design-Bid-Build), Construction Management, and Design/Build. Design/Build is a fast-growing and popular delivery method used to streamline the design, permitting, and construction processes while providing Owners with high-quality results. Here is a flow chart comparison of the three methods:

A.R. Brouwer’s Design/Build approach provides our clients with significant advantages over traditional project delivery types, including:

Single Point of Contact for the Owner

  • Owners hold a single contract for the project with the Design/Build contractor, creating a single point of responsibility for the project
  • Coordination of the Owner’s project goals goes through one channel, helping to keep the team focused on the final product

The Design/Build Contractor Coordinates the Work of All Design Consultants

  • A.R. Brouwer holds contracts with all appropriate consultants, including:
    • Architectural and Interior Design Services
    • Civil Engineering
    • Environmental Engineering
    • Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing Engineering

The Design/Build Contractor Coordinates a Team of Qualified Subcontractors and Specialty Trades

  • A.R. Brouwer has developed relationships with all required specialty trades, including: 
    • Pre-Engineered Metal Building manufacturers
    • Abatement and environmental consultants
    • Acoustical treatments, restaurant equipment, and technology infrastructure

Design/Build Promotes Innovation and Collaboration

  • Designers and subcontractors begin coordinating their work from day one
  • Best practices are implemented in the design and detailing phase, which results in fewer questions and changes at the job site
  • Team members develop relationships early in the process, which improves results

Schedule Advantages

  • Government approvals and design work occur simultaneously, so work can begin as soon as the permits are issued
  • Long lead time items are ordered early to expedite construction

Cost Advantages

  • A shorter overall schedule means cost-savings to the Owner
  • Value Engineering takes place throughout the project, allowing the Owner to make cost-benefit judgments that meet their goals
  • Proper timing of material purchases during volatile economic times saves money

Expertise in Pre-Design and Entitlement Coordination

  • Our in-house Design/Build team has expertise in planning, zoning, engineering, architecture, and interior design
  • This experience is beneficial to our customers during the pre-construction and design phases of the project
