Services: Design-Build

Design-Build.

One accountable team, from early planning to handover

Design-build brings design and construction together under one contract. You work with a single team responsible for both, so design can progress alongside budgeting and procurement. Owners often choose it when schedule, early cost certainty or clear accountability matter most.

Backed by more than 85 years of experience, Fuller delivers integrated design-build for private, institutional and municipal clients. Working with a trusted network of engineering firms, we coordinate design, engineering, cost planning and construction, aligning each stage with your goals.

What We Do

Clear responsibility, earlier decisions, fewer handoffs

One accountable partner

You get a single point of contact and contractual responsibility for design and construction, with one team carrying your project from early planning through commissioning and turnover.

Site selection support

We offer guidance on choosing a location that fits your needs. Our engineering network and Metcalfe Realty partnership help you assess site suitability, zoning and costs early.

A coordinated schedule

Design and construction are coordinated from the start to reduce handoff delays. Procurement strategy, logistics and phasing are developed alongside the design, not after it.

Earlier cost visibility

Budget guidance starts at the concept stage. Structured reviews of drawings, specifications, site constraints and cost drivers help you make informed decisions before construction begins.
