A design-build consulting firm serving clients throughout the public and private sectors, Ceepco Contracting employs a team of professional engineers, environmental scientists, management planners, and more. Thanks to its multidisciplinary technical team, Ceepco Contracting oversees all projects from initial design through construction.

Design-build offers a number of advantages over other construction strategies, many of which center on singular responsibility for each stage of the project. Because design-build companies oversee a project from start to finish, there is no diffusion of responsibility when it comes to quality, cost, or timeliness. Design-build companies are better equipped to handle multiple aspects of a project, especially considering they maintain sole oversight of all activities. Architectural teams and builders work hand-in-hand throughout the life of the project, ensuring that objectives remain closely aligned.

From a financial perspective, the centralized oversight of design-build allows for early, accurate assessment of construction costs. A team of loosely organized contractors may each have their own budgetary philosophies, while a design-build company uses the same types of materials and can predict labor costs with a greater degree of certainty. This translates to better financial planning and fewer surprises down the road.
