We welcome opportunities to bring our unique design-build model and multi-sector expertise directly to you.

Are you a business owner who owns your facility seeking to renovate your space or build new? Are you a school or other institution seeking a partner to help maximize your real estate? Are you an owners' representative or developer seeking a trusted construction partner? Our flexible Client Direct Services (CDS) approach can support your building needs.

We leverage our CDS approach to work directly with building owners and end users, providing what they need to bring their real estate visions to life — design, construction and/or fee development services. Our CDS clients benefit from our depth of experience, our breadth of expertise and the value of our integrated design-build project delivery approach. And we're flexible — our Integrated Design Services team can source and manage a well-suited design partner for your project or work with your preferred architect — it's up to you — and our overall process is equally as nimble to meet the unique needs of each project.
