Design-Build

Bringing together our design and construction professionals in a collaborative environment.

Successful Design-Build delivery requires experienced professionals, exceptional communication, full team integration, and a commitment to working collaboratively — all hallmarks of our company for over five decades.

Design-Build is a method of construction in which the design and construction of a building are contracted and controlled from one source – the Design-Builder. Whereas traditional construction methods require the client to serve as a referee/mediator between the general contractor and the architect, Design-Build construction allows for a single point of accountability, thereby creating a more organized and controlled project. This process helps prevent unnecessary delays in schedule and added construction costs due to unforeseen design discrepancies typical of traditional construction when plans are designed well in advance.

Combining the function of an architect, engineer, and construction manager into a single entity, Skepton Construction’s Design-Build services provide an integrated approach that is focused on the specific needs of your project. And, at Skepton Construction, we not only accept the accountability required by the Design-Build process, we embrace it as a means to achieve 100% client satisfaction.

Skepton constructed Jacquet’s US headquarters. This is the largest of Jacquet’s US facilities with over 110,000 sft. of storing commodity and specialty grades of stainless steel and nickel alloy.

The onsite personnel of Skepton had done a great job in keeping all parties up to date throughout the construction process. The project workmanship has been excellent and all issues have been addressed in a timely manner. They are very accessible from their on-site team all the way to their senior leadership. They are true problem solvers.

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.

William R. Gretton IIIAssistant Superintendent of Operations, Centennial School District

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.
