Design-Build is the most direct and most economical delivery method for a successful project. The design-build process minimizes risk for all stakeholders while accelerating the delivery schedule by overlapping design and preconstruction phases of the project.

Kadean can work with the owner’s design team of choice, or we can provide a pre-qualified design team that best aligns with the project’s goals. Our internal Virtual Design & Construction (VDC) team is made up of architects and construction engineers who integrate with the design team in a fully coordinated 3D environment. This allows us to identify building and schedule conflicts prior to construction, saving time and money throughout the project’s lifecycle.

Acting as the owner’s agent, we manage and coordinate the designers and contractors as one team throughout the design and construction phases. This contracting method enables Kadean’s involvement in the earliest stages of the process adding constructability knowledge and strong collaboration resulting in a well-planned project and increased efficiencies.

This traditional contracting method is often the basis for many projects, with the use of Kadean’s labor force to perform select scopes of work in a competitive design-bid-build contracting process. In this arrangement, the design is typically complete by the time we join the project team. Kadean will coordinate with the owner and designers as the project progresses to prevent and solve construction issues.
