Design-Build Construction Services

Bringing together design and construction under one source, Skepton’s design-build services simplify the process, reduce risk, and help you move faster from planning to project completion.

One Team. Full Accountability.

Design-build is a streamlined construction method where one contractor handles both design and construction. That means you get one point of contact and one accountable team from concept through completion.

Traditional methods require owners to manage separate contracts for design and construction, often serving as a middleman between the architect and general contractor. With design-build, there’s no disconnect between planning and execution, just a coordinated approach that reduces delays, avoids cost overruns, and keeps your project on track.

During my last few years at Cedar Crest College we did many large and small construction projects. Skepton was the lead on each of them and every one of them was on time and below budget! These folks are the best construction firm I have worked with in my 20 years in higher education.

Everyone involved understood from the start that this project was going to challenge each of the contractors to perform at their highest level in order to meet the schedule and regulation limitations. Skepton Construction met all of these challenges.

Skepton not only brought industry knowledge to the table, but they carefully listened to what we wanted and communicated with clarity and frequency throughout the entire project process. They had a high focus on quality, safety and on delivering our facility at the right price without sacrificing our wants and needs. At the end, we were on time and below budget. Our company owner, Mr. Jacquet, noted that this is the nicest building in our worldwide group.
