The single point of contact for the Owner means most design and construction issues are able to be addressed and resolved by the Design-Build team, allowing the Owner to focus on its core business.
An example of this fast-track approach is found at Great River Health, during construction of medical office buildings adjacent to Great River Medical Center. This approach frequently allows construction to begin on a fast-track basis, before design is complete. Nelson & Company will provide pre-construction services - including establishment of budget, value engineering, code review and scheduling, among other tasks - throughout the design phase. Working collaboratively with firms selected to be part of the design-build team, Carl A. In the role of design-builder on a project, we contract with and supervise the efforts of the design team, as well as any subcontractors. Approximately 85 percent of our design-build construction projects are for repeat clients who appreciate our process and our client focus, as well as our track record of delivering projects on-time and within budget. Nelson & Company (CANCO) has been a design-build construction contractor since the early 1970s, and today, the delivery method accounts for 40 percent of our annual revenue, on average. Design-Build is a delivery method where the owner contracts with one entity for both design and construction as a single point responsibility.Ĭarl A.
