Design Build Approach 

 

Opus' unique design-build approach teams architects, engineers, construction and property management professionals to devise the best space solution for our clients. Ours is a collaborative approach that allows us to customize projects to meet clients' needs on time and on budget.

Our approach provides a single-source solution, taking total responsibility for every aspect of a building project, from concept through final occupancy. Decisions are made in real time, working with clients from the very beginning, simultaneously offering design, testing and pricing options.

The design-build approach allows us to effectively use “fast-tracking” to compress construction schedules, which generally reduces the entire design and construction process by 20-30 percent of the time required for traditional building methods. We’re able to offer clients a guaranteed maximum price in the schematic design phase, rather than in the final contract documents phase. These up-front and ongoing conversations alleviate the problem of clients selecting a wonderful design and then later finding out it will cost too much to fully implement. Fast-tracking not only makes us more efficient, but also saves our clients both time and money.

This collaborative approach assures that the design and construction of our clients’ buildings are completed on time and within budget – through a single source.
