DESIGN-BUILD BENEFITS

Turnkey solutions resulting in single-source responsibility, integrated design, and accelerated schedule.

ARCO’s design-build delivery method combines quality of design and construction, management of capital expense, and adherence to schedule into a single point of responsibility. As a result, our customers reap the benefits of total integration. Our team of design-build construction experts effectively gains an understanding of each client’s business and analyzes the key components to reduce exposure and provide the very best value.

Early Financial Risk Transfer

ARCO takes on the financial risk in a project’s earliest stages – as soon as our firm price proposal is accepted and a procurement letter of intent is executed. Pricing is locked in, and key materials are secured immediately.

Substantial Schedule Savings

Our internal design services allow for design, buyout, and construction to occur simultaneously, saving valuable time on the overall project schedule.

Zero Upfront Cost During Conceptual Development

Our expert proposal delivery method is based on zero-investment preliminary design, resulting in the best solutions at the lowest overall total project cost.

Integrated Services

ARCO offers unparalleled partnerships with integrated designers and consultants. These collaborative relationships in architecture, structural engineering, civil engineering, plumbing design, and concrete flat work and tilt-up result in significant savings for our clients.

ARCO's design-build capability was instrumental in offering value-engineering solutions to ensure the project stayed within budget, while maintaining the institutional nature of the finished product.

SUPERIOR PROJECT DELIVERY

ARCO clients benefit from our design-build delivery from both a cost and schedule standpoint, as our integrated approach and work in the proposal phase consistently result in the most functional solution and tremendous time savings.

This was our first time working with ARCO, and engaging them at the beginning of the process proved to be critical to the success of our project. Their collaborative approach allowed us to work through multiple design iterations and make the transition into construction seamless.
