A Better Way to Build

Our approach begins with your end goal in mind: a high-performing building and optimal learning environment delivered on time and on budget. Michigan school districts can now choose design-build thanks to Michigan legislation allowing its use for school construction. It provides a streamlined approach, combining design and construction under one contract.

We Measure Twice And Cut Once.

Our integrated planning, design, and construction process include a built-in system of checks and balances so there are no gaps between design and construction. When we ask for a bid from a sub-contractor, we provide full visibility to their response. We team with your preferred local architects and contractors to make sure your expectations are met during construction and after the project is complete. Your project is delivered faster because of our integrated design and delivery approach, which includes a No Change Orders Guarantee, performance guarantees, and a steadfast commitment to 100% client satisfaction.

How We Provide Value to Michigan Schools

Our work begins with your vision for the future and continues with integrated planning, design, and construction with sole accountability for results.

HIGH-PERFORMING BUILDING GUARANTEE
