Design/build construction

If we do the work, we own the work. Every detail. With our design/build approach, we take 100% responsibility for the complete design and construction of your facility.

Because no one has time for the finger-pointing that happens in standard plan-spec-bid construction projects. From conceptual design to the final punch list, Grae-Con will be your single-source company to achieve your project completion, allowing you to focus on growing and managing your business.

Advantages of Design/Build:

Shorter schedules
A firm budget early in the project
Cost controls throughout all phases of construction
Clear cost alternatives to address quality or expand scope of work

Single source responsibility to reduce client’s coordination
“Team Effort” with no finger pointing. Design and construction groups are one team.

Construction Management

Most construction management firms manage projects based on what they read in textbooks and industry pricing guides. With more than a half century of self-performed construction experience, Grae-Con doesn’t just check boxes. We know how to organize, budget, and build a project from concept to occupancy, with a tested document control system, a history of accurate cost estimates, experienced CPM schedulers, and dedicated project management teams.
