Design Build
One contract covers design and construction. Ideas get priced as they are drawn, decisions happen faster, and accountability never gets split.
One Team.
One Contract.
Design-build brings design and construction together under one contract. Gaffney leads a coordinated team of designers and builders, reviewing scope, cost, and schedule as the plans develop.
You have one point of contact and a team working toward the same budget and project goals.
Why
Design-Build
One team from concept through completion, with fewer handoffs and clearer accountability.
Faster Decisions
Designers and builders work as one coordinated team, helping owners resolve questions and make decisions.
Aligned Scope & Cost
We review costs throughout design so owners can weigh options against their budget.
Single Accountability
One team coordinates design and construction, with a clear point of responsibility from concept to turnover.
How We Run
Design-Build
Discovery
Goals, constraints, and success criteria, defined together before anyone draws anything.
Alignment
Concepts priced iteratively. You see the cost consequences while choices are still open.
Documentation
Drawings finalized, permits filed, trades locked in with lead times already managed.
Delivery
Construction runs on the schedule we built together, with commissioning, training, and turnover done properly.
Wondering If
It Fits?
