Design Build
"Design-build embraces architecture/engineering and construction...integrating the roles of designer and constructor."
--The Design-Build Institute of America
As a design build contractor, Kent Construction coordinates an experienced team of employees and independent professionals to offer a full range of services. We offer innovative designs from our in house staff or through partnerships with outside design firms.
There are numerous reasons why design build construction is better than completing projects through the traditional bidding system. Some of the most significant are:
 Single Source Responsibility - We handle all phases of the project which allows our clients to communicate with only one company.
Time Savings - When utilizing traditional bidding, owners frequently have to ask the architect to redesign their building due to bids that come in much higher than budget. This additional step could easily add one to three months to the completion date of the project. With time-consuming bidding and redesign eliminated, design and construction time is significantly reduced, lowering costs and allowing new facilities to open at the earliest possible date.
Fewer Change Orders - By putting design and construction under one source and keeping communication easy, design build makes costly change orders the exception, rather than the rule.
Money Savings - Kent Construction is very experienced in the design build process which is a proven method for cutting building costs. This experience allows us to work efficiently and effectively with our clients throughout the process. We push value engineering to its limits to make sure that our clients get the best possible product at the best possible price.
Team Effort - By working as a team with Kent Construction, our clients are able to explore, design and engineer the most cost-effective construction solution for their needs. The team approach also makes each project a smooth and satisfying experience.
